Net Neutrality covers the ISP. With Net neutrality in place what that guarantees is you will get equal access to content providers like youtube.com, infowars.com, fox.com, cnn.com etc.



How those content providers run their own services whether it's Youtube or Infowars is up to them.

Why that move then Alex Jones to Google CEO reminds me of that clip where Andrew Breitbart errr...chat (well, if we could call that a "chat") with John Podesta?

The point I was trying to make is, "the left" has long been opposed to "discrimination" by "private-business". They generally do not believe that businesses have a right to "deny service" to people they don't like. And they have generally been in favor of regulation on businesses who try to restrict access, often claiming certain services are "essential services" and should be defined as "public utilities". Not only businesses which are monopolies, but rather, any business that dominates any market(google is 90% of internet searches).

And likewise, it was always "the right" who has been in favor of private-businesses being able to do whatever they wanted.


So I thought it was a bit ironic that it is "the right" who is suddenly demanding private-companies be regulated by the government, and "the left" is defending the right of "corporations" to do whatever they want.


So, the question I was trying to raise was whether or not "the left" would feel the same way if Google and Facebook were censoring left-wing speech instead of right-wing speech. Or if in fact, both the left and the right are full of hypocrites, who only want what they want, and don't have any principles whatsoever?

Global control of the internet, has compromised the civil rights of a selected segment of Americans & Europeans.
It has been monopolized into a cartel.


They created a drug and once everyone was hooked on the habit, they changed the formula creating an IV only, away from a choice of the original oral form.

I cannot change your mind. You choose to believe the garbage that comes from Alex Jones, and no amount of FACTS will change your mind. But I will repeat that this stuff is untrue, for others who might read your thread.

You have not tried to sit me into the chair of reason.
You have let your emotions run your life, to the point you don't even know what you are arguing about. You just have to argue.
Give it a try...

You won't "sit in the chair of reason" because you are too invested in Alex Jones and similar conspiracy bs.

My emotions don't run my life.

Alex Jones has a website? There goes your monopoly argument.

Bahahahaha. “Chair of reason”. Good god.


“You can't reason somebody out of a position they didn't reason themselves in to".

You’d do well to learn that.
