Corporations should never have been legally classified as people.
People that don’t go to jail for crimes, but can influence politics.
And they are immortal!
Plus, they can deduct almost any and every expense of “living” from their taxes,
Our founding Fathers despised them. They would have totally circumscribed their abilities but they never imagined that we would be so stupid as to allow them free reign.
Corporations were never classified as people. The supreme court ruled that just because you form an organization with other people doesn't mean you suddenly lose your rights.
Congress needs to pass a law to nullify citizen United.
The internet needs to be classified as a utility.
Definitely. It should.
Definitely...I mean Aaron died to prevent all the public data from being locked behind paywalls--internet was NEVER meant to belong to businesses alone!
DOD, & our grandparents, parents & our tax dollars PAID for it--only for it to be GIVEN AWAY yet again to capitalist society for free but their profits based entirely on it!
How many times should we trust big biz/corporations? Same crap big pharma pulls with university research that's all publicly funded only for them to patent & rip off all the taxpayer paid years of research, etc and charge ridiculous prices for lifesaving drugs & treatments!
It's on its way to becoming so, calm down
Agreed
As well as cell phone companies.
3-2? 5 people get to decide the fate of the internet for 350 million people?
That’s why they scream for ‘democracy’
Where 51% can literally vote away the rights of the other 49%.
A constitutional republic would not permit such a thing as your rights are inalienable
And at least 2 of them are corrupt.
Yes, what? Want to bog down the Judicial progress with every decision decided by congress?
@@rotopopeoh don’t worry, I’m sure they’re all corrupt in their own unique ways
My federal agency I work at only has 3 chairs, so they can pass or ignore enforcement of regulations with 2/3 votes and are politically appointed.
That's incredible news. It's wild that "freedom for companies" can take away *freedom for people* .
Can you tell me a single negative thing that happened to you or the internet due to the absence of net neutrality?
@@stuffbenlikes Internet neutrality in and of itself is a good thing. It ought to be treated as a utility.
@@ashlet6035 If there were benefits, we would have seen them when we had net neutrality and seen those benefits disappear when it was repealed. But you can't even name a single thing it improved, or that was worse without it. You can't say "it's a good thing" while being unable to articulate anything good from it. I don't care if you have faith and belief in net neutrality, it's not a religion even though you treat it like one. Evidence of it doing good, or the absence of it doing bad, or admit you don't know jack, you're just following a quasi religion because it's the current thing!
The company's argument is that the network belongs to them so they should get to operate the network the way they see fit. If you had a lemonade stand, you would likely want to operate the stand the way you see fit, rather than the government telling you how to operate it. It has to do with property rights and regulatory creep that people would oppose net neutrality.
@@stuffbenlikes The benifit is in having protections from ISPs arbitrarily throttling speeds from server to client. In and of itself it is good. You may not think that's a good enough explanation for you, but it's more than enough to warrant the regulation, slugger.
Good work FCC
Actually sounds like "Good work *Democrat FCC".
This was oddly slept on... its repeal was blasted all over social media, but I had to look this story up on my own.
Very very very strange….
This is preparation to manipulate the election. We've been lied to about net neutrality since the beginning.
Same.
Good to know that another of tRumps edicts have been eliminated.
Are you okay? What did he do to you? I understand not agreeing with him but you seem not alright.
They need to take a look at mobile data providers as well the cell phone companies are notorious for doing this they sell all these unlimited plans but they’re not really unlimited because they’re throttling the customers they choose and putting other customers data usage through ahead of others, while still selling them as unlimited mobile data plans!!!!
Good make it permanent!
Make it permanent.
Suck it, Pai. You were never as powerful as you thought.
Oh yeah? Well he did anything he wanted too....
This is great news!
Yes let your government silence and censor your speech 😂 they've got a LOT to hide
I wonder if John Oliver will give us an update.
Its so nice to hear some good news
Haha in the face of that Ajit Pai.
"This prevents cable companies abusing their very powerful position". The previous administration was really into rich and powerful entities abusing their position.
Or rephrased "abusing their position" to "abusing you with their power" since Trump administration supporters seem to to treat powerful positions as 'giving the right to use them' even when it hurts people 🤔
Yeah and this admin is in favor of betraying and destroying our country and allies.
So Verizon can't limit my Netflix and Disney Plus quality to 1080p or less?
Wireless or fiber? Fiber doesn’t do that and you can turn it off on most wireless plans. It uses WAY more data though for not much difference on your cell phone.
That's usually a feature that wireless internet providers have. Wireless internet plans that come with your cellphone subscription usually have low bandwidth caps. Keeping resolutions to 1080p or less is actually an effort to keep you from hitting your monthly cap too quickly.
Your stream will be fine so long as you consume the mindless drivel meant to distract you from the malevolence.
If it’s the same rules as before, I believe that is correct. However I could see exceptions made specifically for video as it’s the heaviest traffic on networks, specifically a big deal for wireless as it can only carry so much data, I could also see the providers implementing hard data caps again, likely on easily congested data such as LTE & low band 5G (when it only says “5G”), I could see unlimited data staying on 5G UW (aka 5G+ on other carriers & 5G UC on T-Mobile) because there is so much capacity that it can handle lots of traffic & it’s so fast that you can burn through data limits very quickly and easily.
Long story short, I wouldn’t expect video throttling to go away but I could see it going away depending on the rules.
@@ajandruzzi "Wireless or Fiber?" LMAO Fiber has NEVER limited video streaming. And you are COMPLETELY misinformed. You still have to be on a qualified wireless plan to stream HD/4K. And those are the only plans that you can disable the video streaming limit.
Now let's hope it doesn't simply get blocked or reversed. But then again, power, greed, corruption, and crooked cronies pretty much always get what they want.
You've just described the Biden administration 😂 and they won't have to send in the FBI telling Facebook and Twitter who's voices to silence now 😂
and yet this only happened under a Republican administration.
@@karelglasner2673 you'll never guess who, in the most ironic sense, signed the return of net neutrality back into law
@@karelglasner2673No, it's the trump admin who took away net neutrality and let companies dictate to consumers how fast they can watch anything. It's consistently the Democrats who give the power back to the average person. The Republicans just wait until they can give the rich more tax cuts. trump is on trial for abuse of power, greed, fraud and corruption with his crooked cronies. You just have selective attention.
@@karelglasner2673 wow, it's almost like Trump-era policies were a bad idea... who knew?
yeah!! they finally stopped listening to the silly guy with the giant coffee cup
Apparently the NSA got tired of watching us in "slow mo".
LOL
Stop talking to foreigners trying to harm America
Buffering every three seconds!
They shoud have neutrality in the Supreme Court.
If only!!
The supreme court is corrupt.
With this supreme court, maybe not.
They should have term limits.
@@kalijasinall of the above
its almost like trump era policies were a bad idea... who knew?
Can't win 'em all. Which Biden policies haven't been completely destructive?
Definitely not millions of MAGAts haha
Depends what side of the corporate fence you are on...
Get em
I thought that net neutrality was gotten rid of under Obama.
@fcc Thank you ❤
I have Xfinity, I pay for 800mbps, I get 1.26mbps, they swear my modem is faulty but every test passes, they say my modem is too slow, but my modem is listed as a 2Gbps capable, and every Ookla Speed Test I do.... shows intermittent outages routinely, and 1.26mbps, or 25mbps, but I have never seen 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200 or anything over 125mbps, but I pay for 800mbps. Funny thing is, cable companies bribed enough politicians and judges so its legal for them to do that, promise 800megabits per second and deliver nothing.
The record shows that the GOP will always vote for restriction and discrimination.
The fact record already shows the DNC will vote for censorship and violation of the Bill of Rights every day of the week.
In Australia the Government owns the optic fibre network, which has 98% coverage. They are about to double the network speed, without any extra cost.
Capital pushes innovation and technology not the whims of a government.
Good
As good news as this is, I'm hearing said companies are looking for ways around Net Neutrality rules, regarding 5g. I have a feeling we are gonna be seeing "fast lanes" for the internet regardless.
Why do i get the feeling my cable bill is about to go up.
Fantastic news!!
and here is ANOTHER reason why we don't want trump back.
We want trump back.
We had enough of Sleepy Joe’s dementia and horrible leadership. Like, with trump, inflation will go down
@@ultralaggerREV1 Sleepy joe...
you honestly have the NERVE to say that even as Trump is falling asleep during his own CRIMINAL trial.
@ultralaggerREV1 Man, you have the termety of using the term 'sleepy joe', as Trump is literally falling asleep during his own CRIMINAL case.
Also that you think ANY president has control over inflation, as well as gas prices...
I mean, do what you gotta do for you, but I don't think you'll be happy with the results of just 'pwning the libs'.
What took so looong?
Wow the government did something good
Extremely rare but it happens.
Don't trust what they say we need a large group of people to go through the documents.
Well, when they decide to go the extra mile and give back our online privacy, then I'll be impressed... Though I doubt it.
That is really going to PO Verizon.
Good
Probably TMobile too.
Finally! Leave it like this, the way it should be.
This now needs to be enshrined in law by Congress.
So no more extra price for video streaming via carrier ?
This is common sense
You know I can't remember the exact reason why but I think that it was ended under the trumpet administration because there was some shady back doorship in that law. I cannot remember what it was. With the nightmares we're facing today something like that that barely affects our lives was hard to remember. But I do remember something more going on than just telecommunications privileges
A lot of people don't know this, but a lot of local libraries in the USA issue free library cards, and a lot of those include free internet access and even, in some cases, free in-person digital literacy classes. It may not be as convenient as having home internet access, but as a stopgap measure between now and the eventual inevitable declaration of internet access as a human right, it's not that bad!
You'd think being required to treat all bandwidth equally should incentivize companies to, y'know, optimize how much bandwidth they actually use....
I wonder if this affects youtube in any way, they are throttling people who use adblockers.
This sounds like a good thing. I’m in the UK, but from my experience and perspective, this change back sounds like a really good thing.
Thank you
Good work, FCC. Some things are going right.
Consider...if Trump wins, it'll be gone again.
Boo hoo orange man bad
I assume that's why Biden waited until election year to start doing things like this.
It was never trump who did that. It was a man called Pai within the FCC
Probably yeah, at least it'll be more difficult.. maybe
I can honestly say that I didn’t notice any change or difference, despite the media blowing it out of proportion.
Excellent!
Holy crap. Actual good news.
Still a LONG way to improve telecommunications and an equal playing field... But at least this is something substantial
Yes!
Affordability should be the next issue!!
Silly FCC, you'll do as Thomas and Alito tell you to do and you'll like it.
Glad to hear this.
considering that many internet providers are essentially monopolies they really need to be treated like a utility.
Overturn citizens United
Does this mean I get my adult websites back in VA?
Hell yeah!!!
Yeah!!!!!
Forgot this was a thing tbh
Good wtf are they wasting our time for , time is money .
Oh good so total can't throttle speeds either around 5pm???????

@@MrSlanderer man you're slow. It's ok. Takes all types.
@@user-vt1oj2cp5w I enjoy your meltdown over another one of Trump's decisions being rescinded.
@@MrSlanderer I don't care what you think. They make a cure for you tho. It's called work
GOOD!!!
5G Internet service is not fast 5G and itself is not fast. I have 5G in it down low slower than crap. I wouldn’t ever consider having 5G Internet.
Defund the FCC
So if I am on my phone - paying for 5g - and I go over like 2 gigs in a month but I have infinite service, they can't slow me down anymore?
Like they think you don't notice!
That AFAIK doesn't necessarily count ad slowing you down.
As that is listed on ur plan.
Here it's more if theh sale u down depending on what you do.
@EvilNeuro Most plans that say unlimited aren't unlimited. That's false advertisement. So.. if they cut your service for using it,I say that company needs a big fat fine fornlying
@@bjarkiengelsson but that's not true!
ALL and I'm not kidding about this
ALL companies slow down your connection once you go over a specific limit.
It's most noticeable with mobile phone stuff.
Take version for instance. Once you go over like 20 gb theh will significantly slow you down.
The issue is these providers are allowed to do this. And there's basically nothing stopping them.
They also but it in their tos so they can get away with it.
A law stopping them from doing it so uhhh yk you have proper freedom online is nice in a country that prides itself on freedom!
Massive W
why do i feel like this is bad
Regulations are Protections from those who would make you pay for what you CAN get for free.
The Corporations will be FINE without the extra profit.
I'd like to see the internet Nationalized along with RUclips, Twitter, and Fakebook.
👏🏽👏🏽
FINALLY!!
Once again we have people thanking the government for taking away their freedom.
Good!
🎉
Good.
Finally, some good news
Trust none of it ever again
Welcome to slower internet for everyone. Do people even realize what this does?
Clearly you dont.
Account created 10 days before the Capitol Riot 😅 Another Trumpster pretending to know what he's talking about...
You guys reading this think they did it…
No they didn’t they didn’t go through with it.
You guys are so quick to assume and don’t at all seem to care to do your own research.
I’m fairly certain that its gonna get a lot of pushback and resistance from the CDN networks.
This is good for consumers. Yet, they will just SLOW down the internet.
No... The people demand it be restored.
No we dont.
Net neutrality isn’t that the Israeli PM??
Hopefully this will stop my Netflix issue
It will make it worse, fcc oversight isn't going to make netflix work better.
@alienorificeinvestigation My ISP slows my connection specifically to Netflix. FCC net neutrality makes that illegal. So now I can report them.
@@alienorificeinvestigationenjoy your faster speed you'll like it !!
Victory!!
Great news.
The long-awaited reprieve.
Take that Ajit Pai!
Jessica Rosenworcel, thank you!
❤💻🕰🌎😆
Some good news finally
America's already great. We're just taking it back!
Literally means nothing at this point.
This is something I can get behind yet again ;)
Now end the war in Gaza
Yeah. Why don't they just declare peace in the Middle East.🤔
The Zionists have never gotten along with its neighbors 😂 war, war and war 59 years constantly at war
Internet and wifi should be free in America. 👍
R vote n D vote y..internet for all..😤
So now cable companies can't stop me from using a 3rd party fiber optic Internet Service provider on the telephone pole in my yard, on my property. Poor cable company crying babies.
Doesn't actually address that, sorry.
That’s not at all what it does.
I wish! Unfortunately not though. This doesn’t do anything with exclusivity agreements. (It really should eliminate them though!) From the sounds of it, that fiber line on your property could be for a different customer & likely isn’t residential service. This would be considered dedicated fiber and usually is only run for businesses & is pretty expensive ranging from $1,000/mo to $5,000+/mo.
Typically if it is residential fiber it would be available to you unless your property association has an exclusivity agreement with one provider or there aren’t any available lines to connect you.
The WWW should be free with free access, for everyone, period
I shouldn't have to pay some cable company anything to be informed in the United States of America
We cant move forward, because we spend so much time looking back at previous bad decisions. The ones in charge are failing us...(Both sides btw.)
Finally
Good job, but they also need to restore the Fairness Doctrine. That was what allowed unchecked Republican lies to come to the fore.
Trump did this on his first year. Biden did it on his last. Wtf Democrats.
Outright lies. Trump allowed this ti happen in the first place. Biden fixed it.
