The funny thing, people use this thread to post gifs and yell at each other 90% of the time, well here's an actual issue that will have huge implications for the web industry.
Just in case you thought this was some isolated idea of Glenn Beck's, Republicans in Congress:
Notice he frames it exactly the way Beck does.
"It's not about keeping the internet neutral it's about government control. Under net neutrality, the government actually rations what people can use."
Anyone who knows anything about the issue or works in the tech industry will tell you this is complete and utter BS. It's only government intrusion in the sense that the First Amendment is government intrusion. And there's no rationing involved at all. But that's the pretense they are going to use to hand Comcast and other ISPs the power to regulate traffic however they see fit, with no oversight.
