We cannot let such a thing happen! The information highway should be uncensored and free. "They" want to make everyone sheep so we work all day just to buy dumb # we don't need. The only way they can hide the truth is to cut education funds, take away our internet and make sure we are a bunch of middle class slaves. Let the people decide for themselves what is fact or fiction, DOWN WITH GOVERNING THE INTERNET!

What about the countless law abiding people who make a living from running their websites that they own? Everyone from small online stores to adult sites.

Would the government and corporations really just put all of those people out onto the street? If the public can only access a small amount of sites then that means everyone else's sites will completely die and have no traffic at all.

This is just such utter bull# scaremongering it couldn't be more obvious.

I make videos for Youtube and the counter is always stuck. Those videos were NOTHING to do with the government.

Seriously, you guys are over-reacting here. If the government were that scared of being "exposed" by the Internet, we wouldn't be talking here now.

It's not the government that wants this. The govt doesn't really have an opinion on this matter (except the obviously corrupt parts). It's being pushed by the large corporations (at&t, comcast and others). The Net Neutrality "law" would protect the internet as it is right now.

This site would certainly not be included in the standard "internet package" that the majority of the population would get. So it is clearly in the interest of all users of this site to "support" this regulation.

Net neutrality is a good thing and it isn't the govt that is the enemy in this case.

The internet would be a better place without crappy youtube videos like that one. Oh well! NEXT.

They may try to censor the internet, but they cannot censor private letters, Pier to Pier communication and various other method. If the government don't like when someone is spreading the truth, heck, don't read it guys. If it will be censored, I already see weekly news torrents which will appear on the net. How could they censor that? In their dreamworld, they believe they will be able to control everything. But the internet is far beyond their real power. They can't censor private companies, they can't power private internet providers. Then what can they do? Absolutely nothing. At least we're going to change to cheaper providers. They're living from our money. I believe it would be better if they would accept this fact or they fail their entire company, because no one is going to make a contract with them. For us, private users it's really matter, because they, internet providers are living from our money. If they don't like what we're doing, that's not their business. If they want to censor us, we simply break contract. Hence, loose, loose situation for them.

Humans are always so inventive. Our power lies in this. So, if they have billions to waste for a censor program which will surely not going to work, go ahead, do it. It will be a waste of tax payers money, nothing more. They cannot censor what is in our hands and not in theirs as they want to believe. Censor would work only in one case; if they would shut down the net all over the world.

Otherwise, there are many free internet providers through phone lines. At least we will use slower net communication, but as far as I know, a 56k modem, which is integrated into most of the nowadays computers is pretty efficient to send letters about the truth to anyone. Again, what can they do against this? Nothing. SMS and MMS newsletters are also an option. Subscribe and you will get the truth in SMS or MMS. Globalist are lost. They cannot face against it, but that's not our problem.

I remember reading about this kind of thing a few years back: that the wars of the future will be fought over information and not necessarily with weapons.

I think the internet is being censored but very slowly,it will take at least another 10 years at this rate to be censored completly.
If everybody stood together they wouldn't have a chance but i fear not enough people know the truth and will stand and watch it disappear

Alex Jones is just throwing a tantrum because no one wants to read his traitorous unpatriotic nonsense the guy talks utter insanity. Most country's would put him in a padded cell and give him some daily pills for his own good

The Internet 2 will be bigger faster and much safer than what we have now it will make us wonder how we ever coped with this one.

Technology moves forward and the current Internet is old technology now you will still have great sites like ebay, you tube and fox news only now they will be much faster and with more content.

Another benefit to it is we can keep non Americans of it.

Bring on Internet 2.

With the billions spent on infrastructure each year to reach the masses, do you believe "they" want to limit its potential for virtually limitless advertising, buying and selling etc and so forth?

I can see filtered data packages bundled with isp's or something similar being pitched.

Personally, I think its absurd.
