Why do libs support obama's net neutrality when no one knows what's in it because the administration will not release it before a vote?

    Many libs do not.

    Others can read and undestand their are FCC comisioners wnting the full text revealed to the public as well.

    A breakdown is available online, many good points.

    Not sure about the rest that is not known.

    No blocking. If a consumer requests access to a website or service, and the content is legal, your ISP should not be permitted to block it. That way, every player — not just those commercially affiliated with an ISP — gets a fair shot at your business.

    No throttling. Nor should ISPs be able to intentionally slow down some content or speed up others — through a process often called “throttling” — based on the type of service or your ISP’s preferences.

    Increased transparency. The connection between consumers and ISPs — the so-called “last mile” — is not the only place some sites might get special treatment. So, I am also asking the FCC to make full use of the transparency authorities the court recently upheld, and if necessary to apply net neutrality rules to points of interconnection between the ISP and the rest of the Internet.

    No paid prioritization. Simply put: No service should be stuck in a “slow lane” because it does not pay a fee. That kind of gatekeeping would undermine the level playing field essential to the Internet’s growth. So, as I have before, I am asking for an explicit ban on paid prioritization and any other restriction that has a similar effect.

    The framework has been discussed and reported on in the media. Congress can at any time revisit legislation on the FCC or Net Neutrality. I think not allowing corporation to charge different rates for data transmission is what Obama is trying to do and I support that. LOL

    The only thing I have to go on is what Obama said was in the bill, namely the limitations on the ISPs. If it turns out that it's secretly a bill to catapult babies into space, then I'm not afraid to change my mind.

    Libs seem to forget that Obama care was passed by the same underhanded method! Yet they claim not to pass judgement! Ha, hypocrites, they screamed for Obama Care and now look what we have,...an Obama clusterfvck and will cost billions!

    We might not know the specific provisions, but we know the basic outline. I don't support the specific bill, because I have not seen it, but that doesn't mean I should dislike it either. A rational person withholds judgement.

    Because libs are brainwashed by their dear Obama.

    Because they think disagreeing with a black president is racism.

    At least that is what they call me for disagreeing with him.

    If no one knows what is in it they why have so many conservatives spoken out against it?
