That means that internet providers like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon will be able to block, throttle and otherwise interfere with online content without any real legal consequences.


Someone needs to explain to me how this "will take away the rights of internet users...". Which rights? Whose rights? What is being "taken away"?

States where sanity still rules are pushing back on this nonsense. The current incarnation of the FCC may sue, but Repubes are all in favor of States Rights. ;)
