Open Internet for Ford Foundation
This is a video we made about free and open web access. An Open Internet should be a right for all people, of all backgrounds, with all interests. Net Neutrality is for all of us. Enjoy. — Jesse Dylan, FreeForm

@prazed1 I agree, the reason the government scares people is because it’s controlled by corporations and not the people like it was intended to.

Let me put quotes around “Net Neutrality” which is what they are calling giving the FCC control of the internet. We do not have “Net Neutrality” but we do have net neutrality. Who is threatening it and how? If your ISP is, then switch companies. If all ISP’s do it someone can make a killing being neutral. If the George Bush’s of the world have control then we are screwed. People with power always create crises in people’s minds and then rush them into situations giving themselves more power.

Did you watch the video? We do have net neutrality, which we’re about to lose, that’s the point, they make it a number of times, in the video you’re talking about.

You must not have noticed the quotes around “net neutrality” which meant I was referring to this concept of “net neutrality” in which government has more power over internet. If your ISP is doing stuff you don’t like, vote with your feet. The proposals will not leave the internet how it is, but will give it restrictions under the FCC. When government gets involved it always takes more than it gives.

No that is not what is being said. WE do have net neutrality. They are telling you all this because it could be taken away. So yes leave the internet how it is….meaning don’t take net neutrality away.

We don’t have “net neutrality” and yet the video was still made and you can make comments. Leave the internet alone.

But the government will have power over the internet. If your isp changes something in a way you don’t like change companies.

If we didn’t have Net neutrality, we wouldn’t be allowed to even make videos like this. The internet is the only thing we have left to fully communicate what we want. Heck we wouldn’t even be able to make comments like this anywhere on the internet.

So you need to understand that this is not about the government having power over the internet….its about ensuring that the isps don’t change the internet from what it is today. Im sorry but i don’t want to pay more for internet than im paying right now.

Well gang, get ready for Mr. President to decide when and where you and I get to enjoy our internet – “in case of an emergency’ as defined by the President’s security council and the Council on Foreign Relations.
Good Luck….

The government is supposed to be limited. “Of the people, by the people, for the people” has nothing to do with our founding documents or principles but was a phrase coined 4 score and 7 years (87) after the start. The founding principles are to limit government power thus letting the people be free. More government just means more chance for power and corruption.

Web access is not a right. A right can only be claimed without forcing someone else to do something.

“Fortunately, there are two opportunities to reign in the FCCs expansive views of its own ancillary jurisdiction. A federal court is considering this important question as part of Comcast’s challenge to the FCC’s order last year regarding interference with BitTorrent traffic (PFF filed a strong amicus brief in the case, arguing against the FCC’s power grab). Or Congress could limit the FCC’s power by authorizing to regulate only to ensure network neutrality.

How would you go about doing it? This legislation is a working plan and until someone comes up with another way to control the ISP’s from wasting my money, I’m for it.
