They just called a recess due to security in the middle of Ajit's speech

It's because some cocksucker called in a BOMB THREAT. Needless to say that doesn't help us any.

Edit: They're back.

Sounds promising. :) There's hope yet!

It passed. Now it goes to court, then congress. And after the reaming the prick got during the vote, including of how he broke the law, I doubt it will pass, and he is going to be forced to resign.

here in my country called Romania if such a thing breaks loose it would me that the company providing internet /cable w/e would simply DIE you know why because we the consumers aint gonna deal with they're sht and fankly people in the US should just not be a consumer at all then the companies providing the service would bend over and get nothing ive seen in recent years, what would happen if its totally pay to see or pay to anything i would not spend a single $ because we as people and consumers matter the most not big companies.... and they say woo pay to watch i aint gonna have such thing .... and we have the power to choose what we want not them to tell us what they want...evey day i se the US getting more and more corrupted and its not affecting me because these people in other times stood up for whats right and seeing this will only end in fire and bloodshed... or at least Ashit Pi burned on a spike in front of a live audience

I really wish it wasn't. :) Don't think any one country is entirely shielded from influence from the outside world in this day and age, and you do use sites hosted in the US right, like this one? Unfortunately the traffic goes around the world, not just locally. Good to live in a country that still stands for freedom though!

Not affected by this here in Europe, but will follow the consequences of this closely.

here we all have our problems to deal with so in my book anything that demands payment for service is not worth it lets say if tomorrow it would be the end of the internet or cable its perfectly fine with me i could still read a book or exercise or do the other things i never got to do and, about problems i mentioned earlyer our politicians are cunts too so if they decide to do that all subscribers will be hone and people would stop paying things they dont need and find other stuff to do @TomFulp Tom dont worry even if the FCC has it they're way its only in US and if you ever decide to change locations you still have options but from what ive seen the american people wont stand as they're last freedoms are being taken away so it wont go down without a fight .... and ofc if they make a pay to do ... it will mean the end for them i mean were not dumb and morons to play by they're game so its just the begining of something more

Been calling and texting almost every day. I really hope the people can truly band together and put an end to the SOPAs and Pai's of the world and let the internet stay as it is.

Hell yeah! It's far from over. The battle changed aim right away. Congress next... if that wasn't what they've been urging all to call all this time already.

Would've been easier if it didn't get through that first phase in the first place though...

Too late. They killed it. That fucking bastard got his way.

We'll all be paying more and getting less .

One step closer to Chinese regulations...

if it has to go to court it can be appealed to SCOTUS, and if it goes to congress it won't pass the Senate there aren't enough votes and I can't believe i'm saying this but thank god for dems and the the margin they're holding in the Senate if they're lucky it'll be filibustered and if it does pass it can go to SCOTUS.

Oh, heavens no, I have no desire to ban you, or anyone else with a deep opinion and concern about this. True, Congress might overrule the vote, but I have no faith in the government as it stands. As for freaking out - let's just say I don't get a warm, fuzzy feeling about this, and over time, we all wind up losing.

But maybe we'll get an early Christmas present and Congress will do the right thing....maybe...

I called last time, but it did not help. I will keep calling this time, and see if it helps.

Watching my news about this and I seen something like Obama was all for this, pushed for it when he came into Office before Trump. Maybe you guys can shed some light about this also. We they are talking sounds like we're going back to the ole' dial-up internet, AOL is gonna cash in came back from the grave.

:(...)

In the years leading up to 2015, this oligarchy became increasingly bold with their abuse of this power. The Internet was rescued in 2015 with the passing of Net Neutrality, which states all Internet traffic must be treated equally. This means your service provider isn't allowed to speed up, slow down or straight up block Internet traffic based on their preferences. For example, you can stream a movie from Netflix or Amazon just as well as you can stream a movie from Verizon or Comcast On Demand. Same goes for watching a movie on Newgrounds.

This is all about to be undone. Some (shady?) people will claim Net Neutrality is a case over government overreach and repealing it will make the Internet "more free." This is simply not how the Internet works. The Internet will be more profitable for Verizon, Comcast and AT&T, while being much, much, much less free for everyone else who has a stake in its future.

The founders and early pioneers of the Internet agree.

I feel so bad for everyone in America, including many of the people who made this site what it is... Hopefully the FCC will be successfully sued by the government & such. This is an actual breach on human rights.

...aand it's gone. Or voted to, anyway.

I think this is probably our biggest chance to save Net Neutrality.
Congressmen are WAY more likely to change their minds than money-hungry, deep pocketed FCC executives.

That is a good point. If we all keep calling it should work. I know I will be calling as much as I can to save NewGrounds and the internet.

Hope is never lost. If it means we, the people, have to fight to bring it back, then so be it.

People forget that by the end of the day, it's the citizens of America that make this place what it is. Ultimately we decide what changes and what doesn't.

Shit man, our Founding Fathers made this country with that very purpose in mind.

Well, it will still be business as usual here in Europe thanks to the strict rules in place. You think I would take even an ounce of interest of what happens across the pond?
