The rule is part of “an enforceable and effective policy for keeping the Internet free and open,” and President Barack Obama’s advisers will recommend he veto the resolution if it reaches his desk, the administration said in a statement.

Nice! Another reason evidence that the personal is political. This
veto will affect everyone in a positive way. Well… everyone but
ruthless and greedy corporations.

Senator Al Franken knows what’s up needs support!

Indeed. I hope you and other USian counterparts manage to fight
this. Especially cause a lot of sludge, like the corporate side on
net neutrality, tends to eventually find its way up here when it
isn’t stopped at the source.

  Net neutrality is one step away from communism. Hell, Karl Marx was
  a big proponent of net neutral telegraphy.

    That’s really interesting @patriot1223 – care you provide a
    credible source on that one? I struggle with how the idea of a free
    and open Internet is related to communism in any weight, shape or
    form.

Problem is that Americans don’t really care about each other
generally. If it doesn’t directly impact their day to day grind,
they don’t care. Now eventually (because the way the system works)
everyone has to take a turn in the dog house. And only then do
people appreciate why the system is NFG. Problem is that instead of
talking about important issues we can help impact decisions on, you
have people talking about Justin Beiber and Charlie Sheen etc. If
only people would just get involved! I wonder if you took away
celebrity gossip what would happen to the people of this country?
they’d probably take to the streets with torches and pitchforks. =)
