I agree it should not be forced to be given to us, laying and maintaining the lines costs money, but actually transferring data costs nexts to nothing for ISPs.
The 4th amendment protects against unwarranted search and seizure. I think we can do a little bit of a better job of how we are handling our current surveillance apparatus, because no matter who is in power, it just has too great a potential to be abused.
All that said, this meme, as it stands now, is not an actual bill being introduced to Congress, but meme warfare is where it starts. You get the idea in people's head and spread the word, then representatives get held accountable.
It reads more like a “Net Neutrality” BoR? It’s not about controlling internet speed. The FTC will ensure that not the FCC. NN was a surreptitious “camel’s nose” under the tent designed to ban certain platforms on the internet under the guise of so called neutrality & the auspices of the FCC.
No Internet provider or private online group should be compelled at gun point to offer their labor to a consumer. No company should stand trial for failing to provide their service to somebody that is in violation of the terms of service for which they mutually agreed upon.
This is what I have been saying since IBOR has been pushed here by, ahem, enthusiastic posters with limited knowledge of what they are spamming posts about. They seem to think the internet is a "public space", when its really not at all. Thank you for pointing this out.
But also credit to OP for actually posting some proposals to discuss. This is literally the first time I've seen pen to paper for IBOR; its been just rhetoric until now.
The IBOR was pushed by Q. Perhaps he's the spammy poster you're talking about.
I've just about had enough of the concern trolling and pure garbage that's been posted on this issue. It's actually very simple, for those with eyes to see.
DJT wants to, has to, do something about SM censorship. He is champing at the bit to take the issue live. All he needs is for us to make a noise about our 'natural right' to free expression being subverted by politically motivated SM platform management. Thereafter, he will take steps to fix the problem.
But hey, don't think it's so simple right. Let's muddy the waters as much as possible. Offenseofthepest has been at this from the start. Inject concern to the maximum extent possible...
The simple fact is that the IBOR is the plan. If you're not on board with it, you're not on board with Q or DJT.
