Another Version of the Fairness Doctrine Coming to You Soon

Do not think that the government had the intention to protect us from the internet. Do not accept the notion that the government wants to control what internet providers charge you. This is a complete disguise to hide the real truth. In ever single terror plot that embarrassed the US government, they had to intervene to save face. From the underwear bomber to the shoe bomber plot, check-in at airports became a visual pageantry. The recent embarrassment of Wikileaks produce another excuse to implement an extreme solution. The real truth is that the FCC wants to control the contents that is being displayed on the internet. This is another version of the Fairness Doctrine. It may not look like it on the surface, but once the FCC becomes the gatekeepers of the internet, conservative talk radio will again be scrutinized. Every content on the web will be filtered. This is a violation of free speech and the FCC is committing an unconstitutional act.

(Wall Street Journal) WASHINGTON—The top communications regulator won support to pass contentious new rules for Internet traffic, a move likely to face legal challenges and create uncertainty about Internet regulation.

The Federal Communications Commission is set to approve on Tuesday Chairman Julius Genachowski's proposed rules governing net neutrality—a concept aimed at preventing Internet providers from interfering with web traffic

The rules are expected to bar providers from discriminating against legal Internet traffic and require more transparency. They also would let broadband providers for the first time charge more to companies that want faster service for delivery of games, videos or other services.

Net neutrality has become a contentious issue as worries grow that large phone and cable companies are growing too powerful as Internet gatekeepers. Start-ups and small businesses that rely on the Internet to provide shopping, information or other services to consumers are particularly concerned.

The FCC has wanted to step in and act as an Internet traffic cop, but Congress has never given it clear authority to do so.
