FCC restores 'Net neutrality!

This is an issue where people fought back instead of sitting on their asses - and won! Neat how that works, huh?

The Internet depends on 'Net neutrality - the idea that Internet providers can't gunk up your access to websites they don't like (like Zoomtown did). The Bush regime tried rending apart this principle - but President Obama's FCC passed new rules to protect 'Net neutrality. Not long ago, however, right-wing federal judges gutted these rules. The states were as wussified as ever and did absolutely zero - zip, nada, nothing - to shore up this loss.

Now the FCC has issued brand spanking new rules to restore 'Net neutrality by treating the Internet as the public utility it is! People fought the cable industry and won!

As Homer Simpson would say, it's like David and Goliath, only this time David won!

You know blasted well Congress is trying to think of ways to dash it all to hell again. If they ever try it, let's ruin their day again like we did today.
