LeeAnn McAdoo explains that so-called Net Neutrality is a scam. It targets signal carriers, like Verizon and AT&T for strict regulations while content carriers, like Facebook, Google and Youtube, are exempt. They scare the public into thinking that ‘net neutrality’ will protect them from being gouged by high priced, multi-tier bandwidth packages. [Incidentally, there is much to be said for ‘pay for use’ pricing, because it does not force the casual user of emails to pay for service to the movie addict.] On the other hand, under Net Neutrality rules, Facebook and Google are able to censor information knowing that Verizon and AT&T are forced to carry their output. George Soros and the Ford Foundation spent an estimated $72 million since 2006 to control the Internet and they also support Net Neutrality which, to them, is merely a slogan to gain support from those who do not understand the deeper issues of fair cost and censorship. In 2015, Obama’s Net Neutrality rules went into effect, and censorship on platforms like Facebook, Google and Youtube rapidly increased. Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, announced that Googles oon will make it difficult for the public to find any news source they wish to censor – all in the name of fighting hate speech and fake news, of course..

The conclusion is not supported by the argument!! Clearly the answer is to recognize that google and facebook are such dominant players on the web that they should be as regulated by old-phone rules as ol ma-bell…
Pai instead wants to let the whole bunch of wolves loose….. We should stop Pai with a Soros-defeating expansion of the rules to google and facebook…
Google for one has no real competition at this time and google is THE face of the internet that is its backbone… ditto with facebook….. probably youtube as well….
