FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel has announced the agency’s plans to restore net neutrality protections. Previous rules, which prevented ISPs from blocking or throttling specific websites, were nixed in 2017 under the Trump administration.

    We need something like this to be enshrined in the law of the land

    I suspect that if we taught our people to value education, and made it easily available to them, we wouldn’t need to enshrine this particular issue (or many others for that matter) in law.

      • Made to acquiesce to the will of the majority

        That doesn’t sound dangerous at all!

        Christians are the majority in the USA, would you rather they enshrine into law you must believe in Jesus?

        What you most likely mean is that you want to force other people to follow your point of view, which is a dangerous power when granted to everybody, not just the people you agree with.

        I’m not saying I disagree with you on this issue, just that the method of enacting change should adapt to be one where the people changing want to change, and consent to it, because you’ve convinced them - not because you’ve forced them, whether physically or situationally.

        My implication was that we teach them before they become extremists.

        But I’ll agree that fixing the situation we have already would also be worthwhile.
