>> THE FCC HAS MADE ITS PROPOSAL TO TAKE THE INITIAL STEPS TO DO
AWAY WITH NET NEUTRALITY.
AJIT PAI WHO IS A STRONG CONSERVATIVE
IS THE PERSON SPEARHEADING THIS PROPOSAL.
IT WOULD UNDO THE 2015
RULES.
TITLE II IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT LEADS TO MORE
OVERSIGHT TO MAKE SURE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS DON'T DO
ANYTHING SHADY WHEN IT COMES TO SLOWING DOWN SPEEDS OF SITES OR
BLOCKING SITES THAT MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH THEIR BUSINESS MODEL.
SO FIRST, IF YOU DO AWAY WITH REGULATIONS ñ SO
THIS IS A BAD
SIGN.
THE FCC IS SET TO VOTE ON THIS MAY 18.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR
US TO RESIST THIS.
IF INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS GET THEIR WAY
AND NET NEUTRALITY IS DONE AWAY WITH, THERE ARE CERTAIN SITES
THAT WILL SUFFER.
THEY ARE DOING THIS UNDER THE GUISE OF
PROTECTING SMALL BUSINESSES.
IF ANYTHING THIS HARMS SMALL
BUSINESSES.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY OR CONNECTIONS TO FIND
LOOPHOLES THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
IF YOU ARE AN UP-AND-COMING MEDIA ORGANIZATION AND YOU
ARE CRITICIZING THESE MAJOR CORPORATIONS, WHAT WILL YOU DO?
>> THAT ALSO APPLIES TO BREITBART, OR ANY RIGHT-WING
BLOG THERE IS.
IF YOU THINK THEY WILL LOOK AFTER YOU OUT OF THE
GOODNESS OF THEIR HEARTS YOU UNDERSTAND CAPITALISM AT ALL.
IN
THIS CASE GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK HAPPENED TO BE THE GOOD GUYS.
I
THINK NET NEUTRALITY IS THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IN
AMERICA.
THE ONLY AVENUE THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT HAVE IS THE
INTERNET.
THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS GRAB
CONTROL OF THE INTERNET, THEY CAN DO ALL THE THINGS THAT AJIT
PAI WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM
TO DO.
>> ALSO KEEP IN MIND THERE ARE HUGE CONGLOMERATES AND INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT HAVE PURCHASED MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS.
MAYBE THERE IS A COMPETITOR AND THEY DON'T WANT THAT COMPETITOR
TO ACTUALLY COMPETE IN A FREE MARKET AGAINST THE MEDIA
ORGANIZATION THEY HAVE ACQUIRED.
THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.
ANYONE WHO
WOULD WANT TO SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER COULD BE VICTIMIZED BY A
LACK OF NET NEUTRALITY.
WE WANT A FREE FLOW OF IDEAS, A FREE
MARKETPLACE.
IF YOU DO AWAY WITH NET NEUTRALITY THERE IS NO
GUARANTEE.
THE ONLY GUARANTEE WE HAVE IS THAT PEOPLE NOT RECEIVE
INFORMATION NECESSARY TO BE INFORMED MEMBERS OF A
DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM.
>> DID YOU KNOW 73% OF LOCATIONS HAVE ONLY ONE BROADBAND
PROVIDER.
THAT IS A MONOPOLY.
>>THAT IS INSANE.
>> ADAM SMITH WARNED US ABOUT MONOPOLIES WHEN HE EXPLAINED
CAPITALISM SUCH A LONG TIME AGO.
IT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK
ABOUT IF YOU ARE A TRUE CONSERVATIVE.
THEY KILL FREE
MARKETS. 24% OF THE COUNTRY IS A DUOPOLY, THEY ONLY HAVE TWO
OPTIONS.
NOW, AJIT PAI IS SO INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST.
DID
YOU KNOW HE IS A FORMER VERIZON LAWYER?
WHAT A WONDERFUL
COINCIDENCE.
AND ANOTHER ROLE THEY JUST ANNOUNCED ñ
>> LET ME GIVE YOU ALL THE DETAILS WITH THE PROPER WORDING.
VICE REPORTED ON THIS.
THESE
PRICE CAPS
ARE IMPORTANT WHEN
YOU CONSIDER THE FACT THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH THIS
MONOPOLY.
I AM DEALING WITH IT, I HAVE NO OPTION OTHER THAN
SPECTRUM.
THEY CHARGE WAY TOO MUCH FOR SLOW AND SHIT INTERNET
SERVICE.
THINK ABOUT THE COSTS THIS WILL HAVE ON SMALL
BUSINESSES.
IT IS JUST A NIGHTMARE.
INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST IS THE PERFECT WAY TO PUT IT.
>>LYING ABOUT SMALL BUSINESSES DOES THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
HOW
UNBELIEVABLY DISHONEST ARE YOU?
IS IT TO HELP THE BROADBAND
PROVIDERS THAT HE USED TO BE A PAID EMPLOYEE OF?
OF COURSE.
AND
FINALLY WHY OUR GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK THE HEROES?
THE
INTERNET ASSOCIATION ARE SAYING NO.
IT COULD HELP GOOGLE AND
FACEBOOK IF THIS WENT THROUGH BECAUSE THEY ARE SO LARGE THEY
CAN PAY THE RANSOM.
FOR ANYONE WHO ISN'T LARGE ENOUGH ALL THEIR
COMPETITION WOULD GET WIPED OUT.
THAT IS WHY THEY FOUGHT LONG AND
HARD BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO BE IN FAVOR OF NET NEUTRALITY.
IT
WAS A CLOSE CALL BUT THEY CAME OUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
ONCE THEY
SAID THEY ARE FOR NET NEUTRALITY OBAMA SAID THAT SINCE A LOT OF
HIS FOUNDERS EARNED SILICONE VALLEY HE IS FOR NET NEUTRALITY.
SO GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK SAVE THE INTERNET WHEN THEY DID THAT.
IF
THEY ARE NOT IN OUR SIDE WE ARE ALL SCREWED.
ALL THESE
POLITICIANS CARE ABOUT IS THEIR DONORS.
WE GET UPSET WHEN THE
RICH GET TOO MANY TAX CUTS, AND THAT IS NOT JUST.
BUT I ALWAYS
TELL YOU DON'T BE BLANKET AGAINST RICH PEOPLE OR
CORPORATIONS AS
A THING.
I'M GOING TO
CHANGE ALL THE RULES
AND I WILL MAKE SURE YOUR BUSINESSES GET WIPED OUT IN
FAVOR OF THE CRONY CAPITALISM OF SUPPORTING THE BROADBAND
PROVIDERS.
THAT COMBINED WITH WE MUST DO RESISTANCE ñ YOU HAVE TO
PROTECT THE INTERNET.
ONE LAST PIECE FROM AJIT PAI WHO WAS ONE OF THE MOST
DANGEROUS GUYS IN AMERICA ñ
>> I WISH HE WOULD JUST SHUT HIS PIE HOLE.
>> HE SAID NO, IF THESE BROADBAND PROVIDERS CAN'T MAKE
MORE MONEY THAN THEY WOULD RUN OUT OF MONEY SO THEY CAN PROVIDE
ENOUGH BROADBAND TO POOR AND MINORITY AREAS.
DO YOU KNOW THAT
MEANS?
WE ARE HOLDING THEM HOSTAGE.
IF YOU DON'T GIVE US
WHAT WE WANT WE WILL CUT ACCESS TO POOR AND MINORITY AREAS.
THAT
IS SO SICK.
>>IT'S ALSO VERY CLEAR HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT POOR MINORITY
AREAS IN AMERICA.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW THE FCC
VOTED TO ELIMINATE THOSE PRICE CAPS THAT PROTECTED PEOPLE
LIVING IN RURAL PLACES IN THE UNITED STATES.
HE IS
INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE WE HAVE TO CONTINUE
FIGHTING.
WE HAVE TO FIGHT AND WIN AGAIN.
