Investigations, one by the new York Attorney general, the other by the wall street journal found millions of those messages were fake. Nonetheless, the fiveperson board of commissioners voted 32 to approve the measure ending Net Neutrality rules. That fell right along party lines, republicans voting yes, democrats voting no. Heres commissioner jessica saying no. Net neutrality is internet freedom. I support that freedom. A defense from this rash decision to roll back net knew tlalty rules, i dissent from the corrupt process that has brought us to this point. And the contempt this agency has shown our citizens in pursuing this path today. This decision puts the federal Communications Commission on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the american public. Now supporters of the change say removing the rules stifled investment and small business. They say it wasnt the fccs job to enforce Net Neutrality. Keep in mind, these rules have only been official since 2015, supporters of todays move say the internet was fine before then, itll be fine now. Internet Service Providers like at t and comcast which owns this tv station pushed for todays change, but say they will keep following Net Neutrality rules anyway. Someone saying we should get highway speed limits and that promising not to speed. Net neutralitys the concept that all data should be treated equally. No app should be able to pay more to make their data reach your house faster or better than anyone else. One of the more interesting analogies that ive heard is pizza. When you call your favorite pizza joint, you expect the call to go through. Dominos cant pay verizon to reroute the call to them and you dont have to pay extra if you want to call your neighborhood pizza parlor instead. They are all treated equally by the phone company. It means little companies that are just Getting Started have as much access to Internet Users as Big Companies like netflix or google. You could start the next Movie Company or Search Engine from your garage and take on those Big Companies. Reaction from Silicon Valley companies on this mornings vote later tonight at 5 00. Thanks for breaking it down, that pizza analogy, perfect. So many people on twitter and on facebook asking for clarity. I think that was a good way to put it, scott. As if the drama of the Net Neutrality vote wasnt enough, the vote was interrupted because of a security concern. On advice of security, we need to take a brief recess.
