The plan to eliminate net neutrality rules and replace them with voluntary commitments is not winning over lobbyists for major Internet companies.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai and his staff met yesterday with the Internet Association, a trade group whose members include Amazon, Dropbox, eBay, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Netflix, PayPal, Reddit, Spotify, Twitter, and about 30 other Web companies. The meeting occurred about a week after Pai reportedly met with broadband industry lobby groups to discuss his plans for eliminating net neutrality rules.
Internet Association CEO Michael Beckerman and General Counsel Abigail Slater attended the meeting with Pai and his staff, telling the chair that he should keep the existing net neutrality rules.
"IA continues its vigorous support of the FCC’s OI [Open Internet] Order, which is a vital component of the free and open Internet," Beckerman wrote in an ex parte filing that summarized the meeting. "The Internet industry is uniform in its belief that net neutrality preserves the consumer experience, competition, and innovation online. In other words, existing net neutrality rules should be enforced and kept intact. The OI Order is working well and has been upheld by a DC Circuit panel. Further, IA preliminary economic research suggests that the OI Order did not have a negative impact on broadband Internet access service (BIAS) investment."

Reading the comments on Reddit, it seems like 90% of Trump supporters just can't wait to go to war with North Korea. Going from "America first" to advocating for the biggest global intervention/nation building project in history apparently. It's like Vietnam and Iraq never happened.

Fmr. Trump Campaign Chair Paul Manafort to Register as Foreign Agent
- Interesting to note: if Manafort and Flynn register as foreign agents, it means their loyalties were elsewhere while working for Trump.face_melter

"America is not sliding into fascism. That’s just hysteria by the liberals who can’t face up to the fact that they lost the election, so they either have to blame the Russians or giant historical forces. Basically, a right-wing president has been elected, and he’s created a brilliant machine that captures liberals and keeps them completely preoccupied. What he does is he wakes up in the morning, tweets something that he knows isn’t true, they get very upset and spend the whole day writing in big capital letters on social media, “This is outrageous. This is bad. This is fascism.”
Adam Curtis: Donald Trump is stepping for the first time into the real world
- a good readBluejam
- he lied to his entire voter base too so basically his pathological lying captures them as wellmoldero
- A brilliant article, with so many quotables, although I slightly wish I'd not seen Curtis' mug. I like how anonymous he was to me.detritus
- And he's bang on about Brexit.detritus
- The stuff he says about Brexit and Trump has been said ad infinitum since both events so hardly mindblowing. Love the fact he praises Sanders but doesn'tfadein11
- even mention the complete waste of space Jeremy Corbyn.fadein11
- Sure, in fact i believe i said as much just after Brexit. Truths don't change though, and I'm glad Curtis shares my view on things.detritus
- Yep I agree to a degree but it doesn't help the shitstorm we are now left with. Although a huge amount of Brexit voters did believe some v.silly lies told myfadein11

- and who paid for that bomb? and who got rich off the sale of the bomb?fadein11
- and who's currently increasing the military budget, and using the bombs?monospaced
- exactly - this scumbag just conned half the country - it isn't gonna end prettyfadein11
- It's no mystery the previous administration had a robust military and wasn't afraid to use it, but Trump talked so much shit it isn't even funny.monospaced
- So yeah, while those might have been Obama-era bombs, and we taxpayers paid for them, this is now Trump's administration. Pfff... whatevermonospaced

So in the last 24 hours, we led a "misdirected" airstrike in Syria that accidentally killed 18 allied fighters (collateral damage), dropped our largest non-nuclear bomb on Afghanistan, and had North Korea hint at threatening us with nuclear attack. Yes, United Airlines sucks, but perhaps we should be paying attention to more important issues.
