Some History lessons are due.
Let's go back only ten years or so.

>Is Net Neutrality a FCC Trojan Horse?
EFF [Electronic Frontier Foundation] has been against Net Neutrality since 2009.
Read this from their website:
www.eff.org/about/history
This was in the 1990's
What does this remind you of?
Think Kim Dot Com.
Think Megaupload.
Nothing new under the sun.
tidbits from the history article:
>when he and his employees had the opportunity to investigate the returned computers, they noticed that all of the electronic mail that had been stored on the company's electronic bulletin board computer, where non-employee users had dialed in and sent personal messages to one another, had been individually accessed and deleted.
How does the USSS know what to delete and where to look, but can't find the barbaric rantings of a deranged 19 year old bent on causing harm to government educated school kids?
>several informed technologists understood exactly what civil liberties issues were involved. Mitch Kapor, former president of Lotus Development Corporation, John Perry Barlow, Wyoming cattle rancher and lyricist for the Grateful Dead, and John Gilmore, an early employee of Sun Microsystems, decided to do something about it. They formed an organization to work on civil liberties issues raised by new technologies.
Keep digging Anons. A solution is out there. They can kill a body, but they can't kill an idea.
This is not a "flesh and blood" fight. But they think it is, so they lost by default. We just haven't awakening to this reality.
>our second big case, Bernstein v. U.S. Dept. of Justice, the United States government prohibited a University of California mathematics Ph.D. student from publishing on the Internet an encryption computer program he had created. Encryption is a method for scrambling messages so they can only be understood by their intended recipients. Years before, the government had placed encryption on the United States Munitions List, alongside bombs and flamethrowers, as a weapon to be regulated for national security purposes. Companies and individuals exporting items on the munitions list, including software with encryption capabilities, had to obtain prior State Department approval.
The Evil Crippling Long Arm of Deepstate Government:
Regulations, Regulations, Regulations.
>Today, certain powerful corporations are attempting to shut down online speech, prevent new innovation from reaching consumers, and facilitating government surveillance. We challenge corporate overreach just as we challenge government abuses of power.
Can you imagine? Encryption Software being treated like a Gun Grab?
I would expect FF issues with encryption, if it hasn't happened already! (Random Terrorist and cellgroup unable to be captured due to encrypted device.)
Our Three Letter Agencies are powerful beyond our understanding. They see farther than we can see. So why do they ALWAYS fumble when it matters most??
Agendas, Agendas, Agendas.
[Side note:]
This was not what I wanted to post today. Believe it or not.This is actually the first time I'm reading about the EFF's history article. But I feel like it fits perfectly what what we need to know to better understand this Internet Bill of Rights.
Looks like Barlow would have been a big part of this. but he got 187'd.
[Offtopic:]
Now I'm hearing Hannity was almost got suicided. Smh. They want to take us all down with them.
