Wingnuts throw fit over 'Net neutrality

Let's get this straight: 'Net neutrality is already the law - as it should be.

The FCC is clarifying its neutrality policies - but the fact is, 'Net neutrality is already required under FCC rules.

So the wingnutosphere isn't just being petty and ridiculous when it criticizes the FCC's latest actions. The wingnuts are also out of step with what the issues are.

They complain that the FCC's 'Net neutrality policy - which says ISP's may not restrict residential customers' communication streams - is excessive regulation. But they were all in favor of the Communications Decency Act, which was designed to unconstitutionally muzzle what people could say online.

If the CDA hadn't been ruled unconstitutional, this blog and The Last Word would have been banned. Indeed, some Last Word articles that were once legal are now banned - because of other legislation the wingnuts supported.

Right-wingers also supported the scuzzo federal law that's now in force that requires libraries to block certain websites even for adults. If anyone is guilty of excessive regulation, it's them.
