Being from Scotland, I am really limited in what I can do, but the internet is WORLD WIDE web after all, so if things change in the US, it will have a run-on effect across the rest of the world. Something this cunt doesn't seem to give two shites about.

Here's some potentially useful links to help get the message into this fuck-trumpets head.

Call the FCC at 1-888-225-5322 (then option 1, 4, 2 then 0. Then put in a complaint about proceeding 17-108

Dispite my insults to this fanny-faced cockwomble, try and be as civil as possible when getting in touch with him. No threats or anything like that. We're better than that, and together, we're better than him.

Keep fighting the good fight!

You could have voted for the pro-net neutrality candidate

BUTTERY MALES!

Meanwhile, in Norway, we're getting free wifi in all major cities and can cherrypick ISP's if we can't get the free connection.

Lucky. Lets hope your ISPs don't get greedy.

We have something called "regulations" here. Throttling bandwidth on a user basis is illegal.

Trollhydra

In the great land of the free a certain political party call those "Innovation stiflers" and about 30% of the population eats it up!

BaconAteMyHomework

We're all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar

Ja!

SpadeSquire

There were riots on the streets when Donald Trump was elected President. Where are the riots for net neutrality?

lurtsman

I just signed the petition. That makes it 40,427 signatures. Not bad for a petition created this morning. Remember to CLICK LINK in e-mail.

Trooperdx3117

The EU actually has net neutrality codified into law, you might be screwed though because of Brexit now sorry :(

The Brexit that Scotland didn't want...Yay democracy...

SATANSTOPSCREAMING

Honestly this guy might literally get him self killed by some angry /pol/ or /b/ tard

While I don't condone that behaviour, I also wouldn't be saddened if that happened.

Same

willedonkie

Meanwhile, at least in South Africa, they are considering to make access to internet a human right. Less access to info is not progress.

What can I do as a swede living in Sweden?

Heyyyyoooooo

Boosh!

And or kakow!

Well, in that case. You, sir, are awesome!

pensylvestre

Awesome X

arthurwolf

I think it is time to start a Grass-Roots Petition to have this added as a constitutional amendment or to the Bill of Rights.

StandardDeviant

I agree with the sentiment, but they're the same thing. The bill of rights is just the first ten constitutional amendments.

shbecky93

Yet another angry Scotsman here. Come on America! Get this fucktard put in his fucking place! Buck toothed knuckle dragging arsepiece!

iamalreadyaghost

Last chance for now. They will not stop until they win

Greed is a powerful motivator.

Spunkdust

As a fellow angry Scotsman, I hereby stand with my fucked up and somewhat lovely u.s compadres. Godluck and good speed x

twozerooz

Dont worry, OP is misinformed. In fact, it may very well end up a positive for other countries: Right now, companies target

The American market because its so profitable. With severe enough restrictions from US ISPs, they will need to turn their attention to other

Markets. Suddenly our money becomes a lot more worthwhile of attention. As a Canadian, It might mean an end to 50% of the websites I visit

Not bothering to allow shipping outside of the States. Will be a big loss for Americans, but win for everyone else.

SmolRat

You’re being downvoted, but you make a very good point. The rest of the world will move on without the US.

Pickyourpois0n

Another fellow angry Scotsman here. Standing with US for OUR internet.

GloriousSeabiscuit

Glaswegian here, spreading the word, one angry note at a time

+1 for your username alone!

ALittleScottishPenguinWithAGun

Ditto on that

sullvane

I'm English so you default hate me etc etc. But Does it hurt if we drop that douche an email too?

KeepYourDickInAVice

Same here. Anything we can do to help our US cousins?

Most of the porn i "don't" watch is filmed and featured English lasses so we'll down our swords this one time for the greater good.

ChunksPeduncle

Fellow Englishman also, I too will down my sword for the internet. Is there anything we can do from here?

PineconesAndGravy

I don't like his smile

Who does?

apenasvendoasvistas

I'm not an American, but i'm wishing that they all rallied together to stop this fucker!

TigerWithStripesOn

The thing that bothers me the most about Pai is he talks a lot about innovation, but the last major innovation in computing software wise1/3

was the GUI and that happened over 40 years ago. He talks about innovation, but what he really means are new services

and better marketing ploys. I'm severely disappointed in him. 3/3

Pugsleyx

Can other countries band together and say "wtf America?"... Not that that will happen, many will probably follow suit once it goes ahead.

Just like every country put firearm rights in their constitution? Theres a million ways countries have done the opposite of America

If anything, that seems to be the driving force: people look at America and say "anything but that"

countbassy

I thought that happened last November 8th?

FelixG

Wouldn't that be cool? Threaten america with massive sanctions if they continue to fuck things up. Europeans write to whoever reps you!

That would be nice. But money and corruption speaks louder than anything.

Bellerophone

other countries say "wtf america?" on a regular basis

grandmathinksimsatan

I’m so confused, haven’t we voted against it like 3 times now???

Yup and they keep trying!

clownpenisdottaint

We cannot vote for this guy but we can vote for his boss. Get angry at Trump!

ScourgeOf

You should maybe be trying to reach across the isle for this one? I'm sure lots of young Trump voters aren't for this stuff either.

Please, I'm from the north-east of Scotland. We've hated trump before he was even running for president.

KharnApproves

Most of us Americans hate him too. He's a despicable piece of garbage. I feel bad for Barron... and the you know, my country.

4FingeredBandit

Stop this this is our fuck last before chance he kills to save net the nuetrality internet

MNColdagain

I read it this way first

OriginaIPoster

But it's decently separated and only two words long?

ldanton

I'm Canadian, I just sent off an email for you guys! Fuck this guy!

Jetda

will this affect people outside of America?

Eventually

sistermaryclarenceIII

does everyone realize that mocking his appearance won't do anything to save net neutrality?

greyspears

Yes but fuck him anyway.

Yes, we realize that, but it helps gets people's attention to spread the word. And makes us feel better to boot!

No concern it makes the cause seem immature, unimportant, and feeble?

FortressCraft

...nutrality?

RobErtE87

it's pronounced noot, just like Nutella, with Hazelnoots.

Yeah, a typo. I fucked up, but that's life. What are you going to do?

I'm going to comment on it via Imgur, that's what I'm going to do!

You fucking tell him!

You monster!

Kyphe

The sad thing is this will only be our last chance if we lose, if we win we will do this again and again for the next decade or two.

WafflesOfMassDeliciousness

Eh. Until an armed uprising or a round of assassinations starts killing some key people. When people are desperate they do crazy things.

ThatIsHowIFoundIt

Ie not Republicans

bpetersen

If we lose, then this will be a clear indication of how much power/freedom the people of this country actually have

ModerateSaiyan

Then we the people will keep fighting each and every time and win.

NorthSideSoldier

There's a chance to get it back. The FCC has 3 Rep. and 2 Dem. so if it swings back to 3 Dem they'll reinstate it.

Gandhididnothingwrong

Then I will fight again and again

FloppyFingers

That is how we have been losing rights, through their persistent efforts. This battle will continue for a long time so plan for it.

ragekritz

The only way we don't have to do this is if something grander passes something more concrete.

waspentalive

The price of Liberty is eternal vigilence.. -- somebody

Not if people stop voting republican

I wish people would realize this

SpreadyUnsettling

I'm fairly certain one of the problems is that this decision can't be overturned in X amount of years. But that works both ways.

Residentsmartass

petition on the white house site. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/do-not-repeal-net-neutrality

StopLookingAtMyName

Make a constitutional amendment to ensure the freedom of the internet. It is important enough.

Selisesq

A freedom of communications and standards for authenticity amendment to make adjustments to the First Amendment perhaps.

Whatever works, as far as I'm concerned.

AggravatedWookie

"Dormammu, I've come to bargain."

StragoMagus

Our most recent last chance, which is crap. They shouldn't be able to keep trying & trying to get their goal. It failed, we want NN, move on

ThunderStormArtDotCom

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Xeigho

Is there any chance we could get the UN or similar to back net neutrality? Maybe make it a requirement for membership?

Icommentwithhaikus

Bring it fuckers, I will fight for the rest of my life if it means the 1% can't slow my porn

Whoandwhy

Amen

VrryBurntpork

I still don't understand how it's possible or legal to make an action irreversible.

Nothing is irreversible, it just takes enormous effort to reverse some things. See: Prohibition.

People keep saying that once this happens its permanent. I fully expect it to last Cheeto's term, but don't know why it can't be fixed after

The truth: We fucked up. We should have thought about this before elections. He delayed this until after elections for a reason.

We walked right into his trap and he's already won. We don't have a recourse except being more proactive in future elections.

jtbesaw2718

As long as there are rich ass holes who think they can get money out of this. They will keep it up. But every time we will be there!

Grandmastersexy

Enough already. Everything was fine before 2015, the year the net neutrality regulations that are being repealed were instituted.

Sumpte

Except they weren't, and also streaming services are getting more popular year-on-year making NN increasingly important.

They were. Also all your doom and gloom will easily be able to be solved by a VPN.

1) Verizon was caught throttling Netflix even with these regulations in place, you idiot. Also, nothing will stop ISPs banning VPNs or

2) charging an absurd premium for them. Oh, and VPNs don't work for streaming services like Netflix anyway. You literally know nothing.

Ironbunny

I said it before, but this sort of irritating shit is exactly how feel good do nothing gun law goes and why gun people are so stubborn

doctorbees

I almost feel like it needs to go to SCOTUS to set a legal precedent. (Has it? Did I completely miss it?)

It's possible to drive it there with a court case in which a lawyer argues some human rights element such as free speech.

NullSecc

Unless we make an example out of him. Let those who would try this again know exactly what will become of them.

RingSting

I swear there is a similar campaign every fricking year.

KnightSlayerTsorig

This unfortunately in: the FCC doesn't give a fuck about your letters unless you sound like a fucking lawyer. 1/2

fragtore

Yeah America has an iterative corporate-as-default mode which auto sides with evil unless something else happens, like that button in Lost

Redisia

You can always TRY to reinstate net neutrallity but those who bombard internet freedoms now will do EVERYTHING they can to block/stall it.

And they have more money

DVSBSTrD

If only there was an entire political party with a history of voting to protect Net Neutrality that we could put into office. OH WAIT!

flamecoloredskies

I'll keep fighting!

TheBlackWindHowls

What I'm wondering is... If we can enact net neutrality regulations, then have them repealed, can we re-enact them with the next POTUS?

BerticusFlamebearer

With how they're doing this, I'm pretty sure we could.

umpbumpfizz

Yes. But the ISPs will fight even harder against re-enacting the repealed Obama-era legislation once they’ve gotten their beaks wet.

Then we will redouble our efforts.

Yeah, we need something definitive. But even then, some fucks will still try and make a short-term profit with long-term consequences.

TungstenOxide

I honestly cannot think of a worse way to make a profit in today's interconnected Society

doritobandito84

The piratebay needs to make a new internet.

With blackjack and hookers?

1stLtObvious

What should be done is have the internet treated as phones lines, i.e. a common carrier.

Well it's already classed as a utility, but they're still trying to fuck with it.

7hatsBollocks

The problem is that most of us just want to live our lives, while corporations have lawyers constantly chipping away at any protections.

ItsCandleJack

Comcast has already held Netflix hostage before. What's to stop companies from doing the same to us?

Rotmaster

What if we contact the Supreme Court in mass with information that ending net neutrality would be a violation of free speech?

HarvesterZERO

corporations =/= government, doesn't apply

WhoIsFlabbergasted

Could it fall under monopoly laws?

But wouldn't repealing net neutrality be a government decision that violates free speech?

No, they want to repeal rules already in place. They are not congress and don't write laws. They have been challenged on reach before.

chardlz

Literally nothing ajit pai can do is definitive. The rules we're talking about are actually just guidelines. If they elected to do so (1)

The FCC could completely ignore them anyways. In the same way that a new administration could abide by them or any other set of guidelines

The executive branch has the power to decide who to bring to the courts and how they're going to execute the law

it's the precedent being set that opens the door to a lot of bad shit happening to the internet that's the underlying issue.

That's simply not true. Multiple times prior to the guidelines being passed the FCC successfully prosecuted on issues of net neutrality

Omny

It's like that comic about being chased every night by a monster: you have to win again and again, but the monster only needs to win once.

dryasfuck

Good description of life in general.

Tell me about it. People need to see the long-term issues rather than the short-term profit.

So... assassination then?

drenix

Welcome to the watch list, mate. Peetty sure that's on everyone's mind but don't say to avoid being listed

that won't stop humanity's greed.

That's quitter talk

peterzappfe

Thats democracy, it requires active citizen. Id Rather have the choice to fight it 10 times than to not have the choice to fight it at all.

Keep in mind US is a democratic republic. In pure democracy we all vote. In republic we have officials who vote for us

Lol nope. What you are thinking is direct vs representative democracy. Being a republic means you dont have a king, you have a president.

So North Korea is officially the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea". How does that work

Very well put.

thesmelge

No it's not. Democracy isn't fighting the same issues every 6 months because it's being pushed by a few Politicians hoping to pass it again.

Its actually being pushed by corporations.I agree that it shouldnt be fought so often, but thats the reality, evil doesnt take a break.

ok, corporations buying politicians. Still, Democracy is saying you don't want it, not having that repeatedly ignored because of corruption.

stardy

we are either going to be fighting this for the rest of our lives or we lose once and its gone. im not too thankful for this system

Its not the best, but its the best we have got. Until we find a better replacement we shouldnt dissmis this onr yet.

ThatJerkOnTheInternet

The U.S. is not a democracy, its a republic. My representatives are dead-set anti-neutrality. So my everyone in my state is powerless.

imperfectseven

The problem with this is in order to stay informed enough on all of the shit happening lately you have to be willing to invest so much 1/?

Time into research and action that you don't get anytime to enjoy the freedom earned from that work. 2/2

FCC isn't elected, which is why they openly said that they won't listen to our opinions. Don't know why energy is wasted mailing Cunt

NobodyExpectsTheSpanishInquistion

How are they in office then? Does someone who is elected hire them?

Yes, they're appointed. The chairman is appointed by the president... So yeah, I know what you were getting at but that won't work either.

Besides, even if it did matter he doesn't really care what happens to him after this; he's already been offered his next job.
