Not saying you are entirely wrong. If I am understanding what you are posting properly, then the FCC has effectively opened up a lot of new bands to the public sector.

This is good - excellent, really.

However, I think Q was saying that the IBOR scares them because social media has eclipsed television and print as a news source. Think of how hashtag campaigns and others have spread. Look at how vehemently they try to establish means of censoring social media (to include AT&T's own IBOR).

Word-of-mouth has always been extremely powerful, and social media amplifies word-of-mouth.

I think it is a good idea for everyone to review how the existing Bill of Rights works.

It was designed not to leverage requirements on citizens or on business - but to restrict the powers and authorities of government. You don't have a legal right to privacy. You have an inherent expectation, as a private citizen, to be secure in your property and possessions. Therefor, the government is not able to search you or your property without due process.

We agree that the government must have a monopoly on force and must have the ability to search the homes of individuals who are quite possibly intending to cause harm to society. However, those same criminals can reside within government, and we use due process to limit the likelihood of government becoming, itself, criminal.

A similar concept need be explored with an internet bill of rights. It must grant authority necessary to protect the interests of society, but must also have a due process for the application of that authority that allows people to prevent abuse of that authority.

The way to do this is to get the conservative bloggosphere aboard with a concept -before- pushing a hash tag.

As I have said, the reason the IBOR isn't being picked up by conservatives and normies is because they think it is Net Neutrality.

This association must be broken, as people like me are vehemently opposed to "Net Neutrality" - especially the type that AT&T pushed forth in the form of labeling apps and websites utilities under the FCC.

That is why many of us did not jump aboard the IBOR hash, because fuck "Net Neutrality."

If the hash and the memes used to support it do not differentiate between what we are doing and Net Neutrality, and the anons persist in being lazy and assuming the normies will just mind-read the intent of the campaign…. It's going to fail, again.

The other reason this isn't going so well is that there is no actual organization. It's just idiots tweeting until they are put on restriction. There has been little discussion of overall strategy and tactics… And the idiots think the people trying to impart some fucking thought and order to all of this are shills.

At least we can count on them to tweet, I guess.

Anyway. We need to spread the word of what it is we mean by an IBOR. Both in the hash, with memes, and among our other online presences. Many radio stations have an 'open mic' type of day where callers can talk about random subjects. Call and suggest an amendment process for the Bill of Rights to include the Internet. See my prior post about how the Bill of Rights we have works.

Talk about it in the discussion sections of conservative blogs and even some of the liberal blogs. They don't like the censorship, the data collecting, etc. The idea that these companies have built massive intelligence files on us is a massive security and sovereignty risk. In 15 years, when those of us who had accounts when we were 22 and stupid, start running for offices - those companies can leak massive amounts of data to influence elections.

It's a major concern and we need to do something about it. Not "net neutrality" - but an application of the lessons about the internet we have learned thus-far to the principles of our founding document.

Then we can expect a hash campaign to work. Friday would be an optimistic goal. Monday may be more realistic. Start with an AM hashtag push to get it trending in the early morning and then the conservatives begin to pick it up and vault it to the trending charts.

This hash campaign doesn't have the benefits of the memo campaign. It was a very simple concept that was already present in the media and blogs. We are actually on the inception side of things, here, and that is harder to do than what we did before.
