"Internet luminaries, including “father of the internet” Vint Cerf and Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, have a blistering message for the Federal Communications Commission as its vote on net neutrality looms: “You don’t understand how the internet works.”
In an open letter published Monday, more than 20 industry leaders and pioneers skewered the FCC over its plan to repeal net neutrality rules, which require internet service providers (ISPs) to treat all content equally.
“It is important to understand that the FCC’s proposed Order is based on a flawed and factually inaccurate understanding of Internet technology,” the letter, addressed to lawmakers with oversight of the FCC, reads. “These flaws and inaccuracies were documented in detail in a 43-page-long joint comment signed by over 200 of the most prominent Internet pioneers and engineers and submitted to the FCC on July 17, 2017. Despite this comment, the FCC did not correct its misunderstandings.””*

Young Turk (n), 1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party. 2. A young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations.(American Heritage Dictionary)
Ajit Pai have the most punch-able face on the internet, beating Trump in this regard.
I hear ya, but Pai's face has nothing on Martin Skreli's face. Now there is the world's most punchable face.
I'd like to smack the smirk off Steve Mnuchin's face.
Why are we talking about punching these guys? A baseball bat will break more teeth
I must disagree. Ajits face is very punch-able indeed, but Tom Cruz is the undisputed champion
What about Martin Skrelli?
Damn we lost the internet and soon we will lose Medicare and the economic bubble is going to blow how does this make us great?
dmclegg66 it doesnt, it makes us third world.
There will be GREAT swarms of American refugees grovelling at the borders of more enlightened countries.
don't forget massive tax cuts for the poor which will be another great depression. :(
dmclegg66 well maybe he meant make america great depression again?
Life's a bitch, isn't it?
I see not only a way for ISPs to maximize profits but also a potential effort to regulate the spread of information amongst citizens. This would make organization of protests more difficult and help to identify the leaders of said protests.
Ray Cornell I KNOW! ITS EVIL ON SO MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS MAN! ITS A TOTAL CLUSTERFUCK RIGHT IN OUR FACES!
Ray Cornell Yes, you are looking at the real reason they want to do this. Separate the state's informarion and we can do little as far as protests go. Will have to use short wave radio to spread the word
You have to earn the means to protest, and effectively.
Why seperate bring tents and camping gear its easier to communicate in close proximity than over a soon to be closely watched and regulated internet. Send letters through your local mail service providers it might take a few days hell have people go door to door asking people to join the fight. Stand together. If mail delivery fails deliver the mail by hand. You want this you need to be willing to get hurt, get cold, and make yourself heard but keep it peaceful for the most part throw those who try to disrupt your march through violence out of the protest and ignore what the media says about you theyll try to villafy look past your differences reach deep for that bravery refuse to budge. Id surround the FCC building and refuse to move till they pass a bill that prevents the FCC from doing this a third time.
moore down. ajit pai needs to go next.
ataridc Hopefully, we can't have any more halts as we progress. Mankind needs to be ready in the next several decades and things like this are keeping us in the dark ages.
Do we do this by the impeachment process ?
ataridc a man and sick plauge doctor mask
Idjit cow-pai...
Hope to see some sexual allegations against PAI. Am pretty sure that bastard has done his share of harassment
5 unelected officials who have way too much power.
Andy Rodriguez And not enough brains...
But two of those five are on our side.
Andy Rodriguez it's not enough to keep Net Neutrality
Cousin Vinnie it's just a game man...they are all against us
Time for us engineers to create a new internet and leave those big companies out. Just like bitcoin, engineers are smarter than these idiots, and we'll find a new way to provide freedom to people.
oconuco so much yes potential future friend.
We need more artists and engineers in public office. Businessmen and Lawyers have left us terribly wanting.
oconuco. P2P wireless raspberry pi share files, movies and music with the people around you.
oconuco While I agree. Unfortunately FCC regulates the bandwaves and airwaves. A decentralized, public internet is impossible.
Down goes Moore! Down goes Moore!
Robert House now we just need to save the internet from the douchiness that is A shill Pai and all will be right with the world, well sort of it's at least a step in the right direction.
Wyn the Rogue wrong, i dont agree with "a shill pai", its "ashit pie". you should know better. LOL
The is an FCC video dumbass. SPAM
Mr. Clean, why are you happy? You lose too.
Mr. Clean - Internet is already uncensored, what are you taking about? There is also competition for who provides the fastest and cheapest Internet connection.
Also, Internet is already considered a utility. That's why it's regulated.
All your utilities are regulated. (gas, water, electricity, internet)
I for one am getting sick of monopolies and capitalism.......
Wandalynn Ellis, I hear you. The system is broken and its disgusting. We need to get rid of all the corrupted dinosaur politician's and then we need to forge this country into the lie we where told it was as children. And then make it better...
And minorities
Capitalism is supposed to run on the idea of no monopolies...the whole free market idea goes off the sense of no government interference and competition will fuel the market. So are you tired of monopolies or capitalism? Because in a true capitalistic society there are no monopolies lol
Agreed....... comrade?
Alex Worrall Monopoly is the natural conclusion to capitalism and competition. This standard of "perfect competition" is a laughable myth that has never existed and can never exist.
Soon Internet will become EA... micro transaction on every little thing.
Farhan Ihram lmmfao yes so true bro
The new battle front.
Access to TH-cam comment section only available through loot boxes. Drop rate 0.0005%
Great anaology
Just think of those suicidal teens out there... A lot of them go to the internet for comfort..... And with that gone.... more suicides will happen....
An issue I haven't seen talked about much or at all. There are a lot of people that use the Internet to feel safe like you stated and without it,we'll yeah.
The golden age of the internet its over. Time to train pidgeons again.
:(
Loooool
It's only over for the USA
That's still too optimistic - the pigeons will be taken care of by the EPA, rather sooner than later.
Erik TM, this will not only affect the US, this will change the world.
In less shitty news, Doug Jones won in Alabama.
Wrong video.
Why is he, or she, scum for being an atheist? I have every respect for anyone's belief, but I guess you do not like the 1st amendment, you know the one that gives you the right to say that Levity is "Atheist Scum". But remember that just because you have a right to say it does not make it moral or correct, so understand that I am not saying you can not say things like that, but that you SHOULDN'T say things like that, it just makes you mean and being that YOU are the one who believes in something beyond this world, you are the only one being judged, maybe you should be a little nicer.
Alya Issa Dude seriously just because he's an atheist you're calling him scum, Hell I'm a christan and you don't see me calling him scum for having different belifs
Alya Issa We have the repeal to worry about, Leave that crap out of here
This is the only time I'll want America to riot, ONLY IF things go south
Nikolai the tanker Husky I am in favor of murder in this case.
Open communication is essential for any democracy to function.
Jammit Timmaj the IT and programmers need to save us if shit goes south. I am just saying White hats and black 🎩 need to work together for this
Seems rather inconsistent. There are plenty of justifiable reasons for Americans to riot if net neutrality is your ethical standard.
Too high to riot. Sorry.
Makes me wonder if theres gonna be some sort of Boston Massacre that the government uses if this passes. This country is doomed...
Bye bye free internet was lovely
Jared Highlands That will effect so many people in so many ways.
Michael Shaughnessy yet no one is doing anything. They said they won't listen to peaceful protest
Down goes Moore! Now let's save the internet!!
Better Dead Than Red consumers must boycott verizon, t&t,Comcast , and demand local municipalities provide internet look up Chattanooga Tennessean for an example.
Yes !
It’s going to be funny when trumps tweets slow down
He would be able to afford access. He will never stop tweeting.
l1meyman but a lot of his supporters can't afford to read them now
Thomas Lloyd well they get welfare so
You know as Americans should probably take a note from France and have better protests all the time
Alex Rey
the US government will crush any and all forms of rebellion
Alex Rey
Rich people will buy Trump and he go corrupt
Paul Nolan That's impossible to do when they own a monopoly on essential products necessary for day to day functioning of modern society.
Since Roy Moore lost.....so can Pai.
Last I recall Pai is not up for election, lmao.
JUSTICE HAS PREVAILED! A DEMOCRAT WON ALABAMA! THIS IS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!
Tyrone L.D. Style you've gotta be kidding me. You serious?
Tyrone L.D. Style Hell yeah baby
Marcos Moreno early Christmas bro!
Francisco Hernández Yes sir :D
Now republicans will bow to us forever in Alabama! Long Live Abortions and free sex forever!!!
How is this not a First Amendment Issue?!
This reminds me of something....hhhmm...*dark age Europe and religion*
unicron the destroyer
oh shut it
not nice.
unicron the destroyer religion? What r u talking about? There’s nothing about any religion in the video.
Leave that shit out, besides we have the repeal to worry about, we don't need another fight between people about religion
unicron the destroyer history repeats it'self
Everyone complaining about battlefront 2 micro-transactions LOL. All of the internet will be like that, oh you wanna watch youtube? Gotta pay extra, wanna watch porn? That's another fee! You wanna use a site that your ISP is not affiliated with? We'll slow your internet down till you pay some more! Haha
Nicholas ....Noooo not the porn
Truly not the porn
The best solution right now is Municipal Internet... Check The Jimmy Dore show... he saw this proposal... there is a U.S. Municipality that has internet for its' citizens.... or move to Canada
*@Jean-Claude* - I mentioned that on another video. Someone in the comments told me that they actually thought of that possibility, & asked Pai to include a preemptive rule stopping the states from setting up their own lines and using them to be competition (against private business interests). I don't know if it's true, and I didn't know the FCC could tell a city they can't become an ISP. =\
Government has to be neutral in all markets. Why do you think it doesn't earn revenue, but take it?
Because it can't earn it, because otherwise it'd be in the market, and couldn't possibly be neutral to any market it participates in.
Here in Canada our regulators are allowed to offer faster internet speeds in general but not specific sites. I dont know if that will change unless a conservative party wins again and right now the leader of that party is a bit religious right for general population outside province of Alberta.
LOL Yea until the next election....but we do not need a wall for contaminating.... we need to influence each other.... sad there is a lot of great things that came out of the United States and there is a lot of great things from Canada as well... But Pierre Trudeau was right when he said living beside the United States is like sleeping in bed with an Elephant. .... but it's not over until it's over... LOLOl
YEA probably right.... as soon as the conservatives come in....
Somebody needs to hack them and get there money and be warn Republicans you will be next 😂😂😂
I wish someone would ask Ajit, "People have accused you of being a corporate minion. Will you go back to working for Verizon? Will they give you some large bonus for serving the public interest?"
Protest but "Keep it civil" he says!!!!! - This is the problem, we are being civil when that time has passed long ago. Unfortunately.
I'm with you- through with being civil. Being passive has accomplished next to nothing. Time to make the scumbags pay!
People always ask what would the people would built these things say about it? Well you have the response from some of the people who built the internet and they still don't give a damn!
balzirus actually they very well do. Steve Wozniak and other tech pioneers have spoken that destroying regulations is a horrible idea. As for the big corporate parasites that fester on it. Well. They _don't_ give a Damn. Lol
What's Ajit Pai's address? I know the street, but I can't narrow down the address. Protest in front of his house. Him and every bigwig at the FCC.
You know if enough people marched in front of his house he would not be able to leave to vote.
Lets rise up against the rich
Fernando Torres it's going to happen eventually IMO.
Fernando Torres
Guillotine time?.....
Fernando Torres RISE UP! Tell your brother that he's gotta RISE UP! Tell your sister that she's gotta RISE UP!
You first.
You know you're getting old when no one gets the Eminem reference in the title
alexis898989 thought I was the only one.
Im 13 and i get it i thought i was the only one😂
This better not happen
Riots are gonna happen i can see it from canada
How nice is Canada at this time of year? I'd kinda like to go there.
same shit in the US man we just went through the trump bs just adding more fuel to the fire 😈
@Leinad Works
Getting cold but our Net Neutrality isn't currently in danger although I can see Bell trying to pull some shit in the coming years.
We also got a white supremacist group problem so if you want to bring a bat to take some of them out, that would be just dandy~
MrCrazyLeprechaun ehh, I'm not into violent protests, but I am willing to use peaceful protest to help the situation.
This isn't even about crony capitalism. This is ultimately about the control of the flow of information. The FCC, an appointed, not elected government body, answerable only to the President, declared years ago that radio and TV were the only two broadcast mediums not covered by The First Amendment. To paraphrase George Carlin, repeat that bit as many times as you need to as it sounds vaguely important. Now radio and TV have pretty much joined newspapers and other print media in the graveyard of content distribution, so we are pretty much left with the Internet as our main source of news, entertainment and information. How long do you think it will be before the FCC, an appointed, not elected government body, answerable only to the President, decides that the Internet is no longer covered by The First Amendment? It sounds like a question that might just be,.vaguely important.
Corruption is going to kill our Nation
MrJonyboy510 that's why our founding fathers were so fearful of it.
Moe Lester lost. Moe Lester lost. There is hope yet.
I feel that our tax dollars spending and laws should be voted on by all Americans, meaning that every American who is eligible to vote should be voting on everything. we should have a law where everyone has to vote, no exceptions. Let the people decide where tax dollars should be spent and laws to make.
Sadiq Ramnath I'm pretty sure there is a country were that is a law, it leads to some pretty funny candidates.
Purposely being deceitful and ignorant should be punishable under Law with severe time or death for those who are holding positions of power in the Government that effects millions-billions of people.
I think California should stop paying federal taxes and pull their money out of Washington
Indeed!! They actually give way more to the federal government than take. They are the 6th largest GDP in the world and they actually pay for the red states that take more from the federal coffers, especially in white rural America, than any other state!
What you should download before the repeal is Kiwix, which is offline Wikipedia. However, it's 61 GB.
Freedom - shortest joke in USA.
If everyone made the fcc daily life hell they would get the memo.Dont serve them food or give them service,Effect their everyday life.
No. Call your Congressmen. Make their daily lives hell. If they are Republicans, they can't be "pro-business" if they let the FCC repeal Net Neutrality. The FTC doesn't have the consumer protection power.
They think we aren't serious
This is outrageous!
If it does pass, how can we get it back?
If the 200 sue the FCC, maybe.
Court cases all the way up to the supreme court will generally be the way, at least in my opinion as it will be taken as censorship or consumer discrimination.
Kevin Montrond don't forget Pence. If we leave HIM to assume the presidency America will really be up sh*#@ts creek.
Caboose Church i wonder if challenging it as an abridgement of freedom if speech would be more effective .
Simple. We destroy it completely so no one can use it in any capacity. We built it from nothing and we can build another.
So maybe people in communities should pool their money and create their own ISP, not for profit, but just for private use. Anyone in that community should be allowed to be a part owner. everyone with one equal vote. Put Comcast out of business because Comcast can't compete with free.
underdawg47
I believe it's called fidonet.
peacefulheart
How about you go to the FCC on Thursday or to whatever local protest.
Also, write to your congressman, senator, the people at the FCC, the FTC and ask all of them for stronger net neutrality regulations. I know, the FTC might seems odd on that list, but it's there to protect from monopoly power so that kind of shit is also there job.
Also go on we the people, the white house petition website... Sign the petitions asking to protect net neutrality or not repeal net neutrality or fire Ajit Pai. That still create noise.
Than, Friday, start researching to write an Amicus curiae. Why? Someone is going to court over that. You think Facebook, alphabet Inc, Pandora media, and Netflix will let ISP drain just their profit?
The FCC behavior here is possibly illegal as it looks arbitrary and capricious. These are rules that lawyers like Michael Copps just defended in 2015&2016. They are laws against doing doing that if it's just arbitrary and capricious.
i need to check that out, thanks
i think we just need to put our minds together and find solutions instead of just surrendering
Funny thing... there are towns that are trying to do that right now, and AT&T, Comcast exc sued.
Ironically even Google is having a hard time laying out Google Fiber because how much these ISPs are fighting to prevent others from even trying to compete.
The day this BS passes i'm expecting my bill to increase by 20% .. then there's going to be all the new restrictions, blocked/throttled/broken websites, unlimited data what?
Republican senators are speaking out against the repeal and there's a bill circulating through Congress to protect Net Neutrality permanently. There's still hope
Chuck only some republican senators unfortunately
Only three have to turn on it for it to be the majority of the Senate.
Wow..... the first time I agree with Them..... is this world coming to a end?
But I don't like how they think republicans want them bc not all of them want this
I cant wait for "ladies and gentleman we got him"
If the FCC goes through with their plan, boycott the internet and all it provides. No facefook no twitter no internet from your isp, etc. Make them regret their mistake. They'll come around.
i wonder what eminem has to say about this 😂
That title, give whoever came up with that a promotion immediately!
Anyone seen Vice President lately?
Emiljano Shehu nope
Find out which Congress member own or have bought shares in these internet firms and you have the reason for this vote! Corruption through legal cons.
so essentially we are going back to dial-up?
worse
Now redbox will have an increase in rental fees.
...Or just let it be, so let me see? They just shut it down at the RNC, now it feels so empty without me.
Time to go to the FCC main office, in droves!
It'll be challenged in court.
Major conflict of interest .. When the changes come I-shit needs to be thrown in jail.. Corruption in this day and age is being called out..
nobody who uses the internet agrees with this shit. i haven't even seen this video but we learned from Eminem that "the FCC won't let me be"
I made the calls, sent the emails, and signed the petitions...all I can say at this point is that if you take something away from someone, they'll learn to live without it. I cannot wait for my generation to start taking office.
We need anonymous now more than ever!
So the FCC won't let the internet be or be me be, so let us see. they tried shutting me down on TV, but it will feel so crazy without me.
Time to build a new internet
Here's an alternative, don't pay for extra shit.. boycott their service?
Is that title a nod to Eminem... sick
I scrolled down only to see, I'm not the only one who got that reference.
Yep, Shit Pie did the bidding of his former bosses, and the Fondler-in-chief.
No one gonna say the title is an Eminem reference? Smfh
Whos worse Like= Ajit pai, Dislike= Kim jung un
Is this title an homage to Eminem's Without Me? :
So the FCC won't let me be
Or let me be me, so let me see
They try to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty without me
You got it, Sam!
Damn that!
Lol jones wins! We are still winning right. So much winning going around🤣
But will we win against Pai tommorow?
Winning against Pai is the most important
This needs to be an amendment to the constitution.
Oh golly gee.......hahahhhahahahah
And Donald Trump said's "Make America Great Again." shitttttttttt.........
What a terrible Christmas present
One of the biggest issues in america right now is Net Neutrality. Please keep Net Neutral so the poor and schools systems can afford the internet. This could cost consumers billions of dollars in fees and place complete control of the internet into the hands of corporations like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T. I will be contacting my congressman here in Tennessee.
I despise fox News, but if they slowed down the service to even those resources, it would be complete shit.
Deport that guy to the india ASAP.
What the FCC is saying could be simply put as the following : We NEED to stop enforcing highway patrol because even though drivers CAN go above the speed limit, we know they wont do it. Why would they bother going above the speed limit and increase the risks of accidents? So let's all stop policing the highways and the streets because we OBVIOUSLY DO NOT need cops there. Everyone is following the rules and they will still follow the rules knowing for a fact that they wont have a criminal record for drinking and driving....
If this happens, the internet will never be the same. It will go in the way of TV where you have to pay for packages, and if you want to access TV show ____, you'll need to buy the specific package that includes that channel, even if you don't want all the other crap. You'll have to buy several packages to get access to the pages you want in particular, and all the pages that are in direct competition with the ISP you won't be able to access at all.
This is such a nightmare idea, and I genuinely hope it gets shot down.
.. or let me be me so let me see..
Is this only for the USA or does this weird new law affect other parts of the world too, like europe or asia?
Intelligenkeit If this goes thru, other countries may follow our footsteps. This has lots of consequences, that could spread around the world.
The most hated human on Earth
Thank goodness. Get rid of Net Neutrality, and return competition to the market. The last thing I want is the FCC to have any form of control over the internet. The consumers will handle things from here on out. Power to the consumer, power to personal responsibility.
In 2016 the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission declared high-speed internet a basic service "necessary to the quality of life" of all Canadians. C'mon 'Merica!
It’s stunning to think that Republicans, who claim they hate regulations, will vote yes on this. The backlash is going to be big.
Ending net neutrality is not "crony". It is the logical conclusion in capitalism.
I thought the FCC was legally obligated to hold public hearings on issues like this.
So what does that mean for online banking, digital investment, intellectual property rights, copyright and bitcoin/crypto currency?
They will probably all hurt on this, seriously the FCC is making freinds with ISPs but enimies of everyone else!
Breaking: Doug Jones defeats Roy Moore! Yes!!
Smh....My poor country is going to shit.
cant this be reversed when we get rid of shitPai?
What's the President got to say on this matter? I'd be interested to hear what kind of grasp he has on the technical aspects...
sixstanger00 the president has voiced support for ending net nutrality, it's why pai was appointed in the first place.
Mlpfanboy I'm fairly positive Trump understands as much about what Net Neutrality entails as he does wave-particle duality.
"We're making the internet better by doing this!" I was listening to someone talking about political tactics, and he said: "When they want to sign a really bad piece legislation that they know is going to do a lot of harm, they basically try to spin on it and make it sound positive instead." So that's what's happening, basically.
I wrote a very long lengthy letter to the FCC about this bull shit. "7 Sources" It just can't be me and 6 other people. You know for the folks that like to regulate the way we talk to each other, they don't do a lot of listening.
people are too busy fighting among themselves instead of fighting for their rights.
Title sounds like Eminem lyrics.
If you can't show up in person, Mail the FCC a can of SPAM.
every person i know from both sides of politics agrees this is bad for us. twitter is already against freedom of speech so i guess the hole internet will be soon
If the internet is an educational tool it should be free.
