Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

Don’t give up hope just yet

It ain’t over yet.

What do you think will happen when this goes to court?

@lonewolf  

 
This

@Background Pony #B740  
Highly doubt it will pass. And i hope it does bite him in the ass.

Unfortunately this last year with Trump/Hillary, Moore, and Pai himself has left me skeptical that pending lawsuits, conflict of interests, or shady backroom dealings mean anything in the face of government.

Remember the DOW mentioned earlier?

@LR-Studios  
Huh?

@Mike  
Cause you might want to check it out.

@LR-Studios  
the Dow is going down?

@Shirani  
Yep.

Politics is fun.
 
Woooooooooooooooooooo!

@lonewolf  

Not to burst that bubble, but that should be qualified with a “maybe”. There are a lot of factors that would have to be involved for that, so it’s not going to be a small dunk by any means. Heck, the filing process for taking this to court is itself a Byzantine process that can detrimentally affect anyone who doesn’t file at the appropriate time. Not to mention the courts in these types of cases tend to side more often with the agencies than the people fighting them.
 
But I suppose the upside is that difficult does not mean impossible. At least two people at the FCC dissented and have said they are going to keep fighting for us. We owe it to them to do the same.
 
Besides, court is not the only option. A Congressional Review could also overturn the decision. The odds of that aren’t the greatest, admittedly, but with enough pressure… you never know, I guess. The important thing is just to be involved at this point.

@LR-Studios  
What about it going down?

@Shirani  
And my first assumption was, “Is this due to Net Neutrality being repealed, or Disney-Fox merger?”

@LR-Studios  
Isnt that because of the Fed Rate Hike?

@LR-Studios  
I think its because of the Tax law going through congress and the Fed Rate Hike…

@Shirani  
I see.

@fobone  

 
I bet they’re going to mentioned the fake comments.

@LR-Studios  
In all honesty the internet isn’t dead. BUT it will be extremely crippled. This will go to the supreme court. We wouldn’t have this problem IF THERE WERENT ISP MONOPOLIES IN SINGLE REGIONS!

@LR-Studios  
NY’s Attorney General is already building up a multistate lawsuit.

Oh me oh my.

@fobone  
Pai is in deep shit….

You know when people say “It’s only a minority of people causing the least amount problems it’s not that bad”
 
I got a few words for you, If Ajit Pai and several others in the FCC to go against millions and millions of Americans and potentially ruin the internet and may succeed, then boy, we really are weak as a country. XD
 
Sometimes people in a small minority can absolutely do the most damage.

I may be conservative but I still believe in NN, and we should keep it until we crush Monopolized ISPs in single regions and make them compete against each other. THEN we can effectively repeal NN other than the throttling rule and prioritization rule.

Actually, broadband investment went up due to net neutrality.
