I was wrong. I just read the 1st and 5th Amendment implications regarding net neutrality, and despite what I was told, the text appears to prohibit ANY limitation of free speech as the ISPs themselves will NOT be engaging in the speech as did cable providers who selected content and placed their own commentary on their network. ISPs will simply be a conduit for the free exchange of information.
There is a downloadable .pdf located right next to "FCC Record:" slightly down the page. This document is the TEXT of the FCC New Neutrality regulation.
And here I thought Trump was SUPPOSED to drain the swamp that was filled to the brim with special interest groups, yet the only thing Trump does while in office is kowtow to the demands of his big business friends. The FCC under this administration has now no longer required ISPs to provide basic information such as broadband prices, speeds, and fees.
Tell me exactly how this administration will create jobs if and when ISPs will start throttling websites that might be associated with a competitor, businesses can even figure out what type of speeds to expect for their broadband, and consumers could possibly get socked with hidden fees.
All you have to do is sit back and watch it get better.
There is no where but up from here. The results will speak for themselves. You will continue your consumer spending habits. You as well as everyone else posting.
It's not good that the admin wants to undermine this right?
I'm glad you did some research, hopefully you'll join the right side of this fight.
You are correct. This is NOT a good thing Trump is doing. I'm willing to wager he had some of the same news sources I had on the issue, and what was claimed from my news sources several years ago is NOT in the text. Fortunately I am willing to admit when I am wrong.

I'd like to think the president has better sources than tabloid style news, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
Net neutrality was simply a means for government to eventually control CONTENT on the internet. As usual, we can simply look around at the responses then determine which political party insists on being able to block differing opinions.
They (the left) hypocritically call themselves champions of free speech... as long as that speech agrees with their opinions and fits their narrative. All other speech must be content neutral because well... because that's free speech according to the left.
Edited to add: These statements above by me are NOT true. I finally quit being lazy on the issue and read the important part (to me) of the text. I was 100% wrong with what I said above in THIS post. My apologies.
MAD props on doing research, changing your mind and admitting it openly. I will endeavor to follow that example.

A 1 is a 1 and a 0 is a 0, no such thing as special "1s" or special "0s" which is, at its core, the point of net neutrality.
Undermining it is not a good thing.
But MAGA and the Muslim Kenyan?!
