that would overturn the recent Net Neutrality rules put in place by the FCC. And while this sounds like good news, to be honest I'm a little torn on the issue:
I love the internet. It is dear to my heart, and so I want to see it protected to remain the open bastion of information that it currently is. These rules that the FCC proposed aim to keep it that way by preventing Internet Service Providers from interfering with the open nature. (Imagine having to pay an extra $5 a month to access sites like Wikipedia, Youtube, or Facebook. Yikes!)
But on the other hand, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to give the Government any more power than they already have, especially considering the people at the FCC are not elected officials. This could be just a foot in the door to even more government regulations that end up bringing the internet to its knees.
Only time shall really tell, but what are y'all's thoughts?
