In all fairness, many of us know that it was less about Angry Americans wanting to be heard and more about people setting up automated websites to robo-submit character by character exact copies of the same complaint over and over again. Come on, if it hadn't been for people posting the link to that site where you typed in your email address or name or whatever it was and clicked submit, no where near that volume of traffic would have hit them. Someone made it easy and pointed everyone to it and beig good little Americans we all went there and clicked it to be heard cause we all know that if it took any real effort to draft out own email most wouldn't have sent a thing.
Haters always have a way to rationalize their hate. The Klan, the Nazis: they all had their reasons.
But it's no excuse.
Hate is the opposite of love, and like love, it should be reserved for people you know, who matter in your life.
Hating or loving a complete stranger is pure cray-cray BS, but we're seeing an epidemic of it.
You're just making that crap up out of nothing, aren't you? Pulling it out of your Trump-hating ass.
Oh well. Haters gotta hate, I guess. Sad.
And here we have yet another commenter that reached a conclusion without reading past the headline.
Is that what happens to people who read to many tweets? Do they wind up unable to read anything more than 132 characters long?
I read the article, ... he had plenty of time to clear up this misunderstanding before now and instead waited until the last minute.
You come here, fingers jammed tightly into your ears and ranting proud in your ignorance ....Because I don't care what he's said. He's lied/backtracked on this issue how many times, it's pretty obvious that just like our ramping toddler-in-chief
A far bigger problem than the ISP's are progressive social media outlets censoring anyone who disagrees with them.

Don't like your ISP charging Google and Netflix more to carry their traffic because it violates "net neutrality"?It's a private company and 1A does not apply. Don't like their filtering, don't use the platform..... People using those platforms for news/info are the problem anyway.
There was an active investigation. Did you want him trying to influence it by making public statements about it?
No, you would have reamed him a new one if he had, I'm pretty sure.

So they admitted what everyone with half a brain already knew. Legit!!
While your comments are true so also are ISP's private companies. Don't be surprised if the fascist running social media are not slapped down by the Sherman Anti-Trust act...It's a private company and 1A does not apply. Don't like their filtering, don't use the platform..... People using those platforms for news/info are the problem anyway.
So here's my question: if the posts were by actual people and not bots, or rather that so many people were against the repeal that the site shut down, does this mean they would actually consider upholding NN or was it all pointless anyways?
Smells like it...or did I just pull that out of my ass too?
It's not about politics, left fecking right, or Trump. It's about Pai. He's a lying piece of shit. He has no credibility whatsoever.
Read Jessica Rosenworcel's letter. I'll take the word of a drug induced anus selling whore over Pai's word 10 out of 10 times. Not that I think Jessica is.
Tom Wheeler, the guy that Pai replaced ....In 2013, Rockefeller led a push to have Rosenworcel named to be the first female chair of the commission when former Chairman Julius Genachowski stepped down, although the position was ultimately given to Tom Wheeler.
In the days following the incident, multiple cybersecurity experts told FedScoop’s sister publication, CyberScoop, that the claim seemed unfounded. “It appears the issue with the FCC is less of a DDoS attack, traditionally defined, and more of an issue of crowdsourcing comments generated by John Oliver and Reddit,” John Bambenek told CyberScoop.

Net neutrality doesn't mean shit to me, I lucked out and ended up with an ISP that doesn't throttle or cap anything.
People scream free market when social media bans people, but want non free market net neutrality?
Ultimately, this doesn't matter, does it? Pai got what he wanted. Or is there a path on which the decisions will be revisited because there is information that was previously hidden? I did read the article, and I didn't see that mentioned.

For Immediate Release
FCC CIO STATEMENT ON DISTRIBUTED DENIAL-OF-SERVICE
ATTACKS ON FCC ELECTRONIC COMMENT FILING SYSTEM
--
WASHINGTON, May 8, 2017 – Federal Communications Commission Chief Information
Officer Dr. David Bray issued the following statement today regarding the cause of delays
experienced by consumers recently trying to file comments on the FCC’s Electronic Comment
Filing System (ECFS):
“Beginning on Sunday night at midnight, our analysis reveals that the FCC was subject to
multiple distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDos). These were deliberate attempts by external
actors to bombard the FCC’s comment system with a high amount of traffic to our commercial
cloud host. These actors were not attempting to file comments themselves; rather they made it
difficult for legitimate commenters to access and file with the FCC. While the comment system
remained up and running the entire time, these DDoS events tied up the servers and prevented
them from responding to people attempting to submit comments. We have worked with our
commercial partners to address this situation and will continue to monitor developments going
forward.”

This is an unofficial announcement of Commission action. Release of the full text of a Commission order constitutes
official action. See MCI v. FCC, 515 F.2d 385 (D.C. Cir. 1974).
Smells like it.
What is it that Jessica Rosenworcel's letter is supposed to tell us?
She wrote that "statement" the same day as the other FCC statement saying that the IG had cleared Pai of any wrongdoing. When Jessica says "The Inspector General Report tells us what we knew all along:....." We is Jessica, an FCC Commissioner, and others within the FCC (leadership I'm assuming, possibly Pai as well).
I do not take that statement as meaning Jessica and others knew it wasn't a DDOS attack, and Pai lied about it.
What argument? I didn't see any argument.Why bother addressing the argument ...
But then, I'm trained in argument, so I have minimum standards for what qualifies as one.
You're mistaken to think that I consider all of my responses to you arguments.Then you've set an extremely low bar. I'd request a full refund from whatever courses you took in it. They've failed you.
Obama is red?Lol wut? He's as red as it gets, and did exactly what pretty much every gop politician wanted.... He's lying to the people and the dems looking into the agencies complete bullshit handling of the whole situation.
And to the people about to flood the thread with ignorant 'NN was killed and nothing happened/sun is still rising. I told you so...' posts, don't kid yourself. The issue is still way too hot for them to start fucking around just yet. They push too hard now and chances are much higher that actual regulations start getting put in place. They'll sit back and wait for it to die down, sheep will go 'see nothing happened!', then the ISPs will start slowly seeing how far they can screw us over. You frog in boiling water and all....
Plus for all the conservatives that cry about liberal MSM, who do you think owns the main ISPs? Is it going to take them filtering/throttling/blocking conservative content before you finally jump up in arms? Remember, they are a private corporation, just like twitter/bookeface/IG etc. 1st Ammendment doesn't apply to them and they can filter whatever they want. With title 2 gone, FCC doesn't have any authority, and that's outside of the scope of the FTC to regulate.
Obama is red?
Anyway, Democrats are as deep in corporate pockets as the Republicans anything to the contrary is wishful thinking
Ajit was appointed to the board by Obama

The NN removal was a 5 person vote all 5 were appointed to the board by Obama. Obama stacked the deck to kill NN under the next president. He made everyone accept the FCC by initially having the popular outcome but stacked the deck for the follow up vote for the rules were to be removed. Excellent planning. Made himself look good, the next president look bad, the public accept the FCC, and ultimately the corporations got what they wanted.

Then you and I differ. I take it to mean they he did in fact know, and went radio silent about it because he's a fuck. And only an impending report, demonstrating his lies, forced his crooked hand to release a statement saying, in effect, thanks Obama. Christ he's such a piece of shit.
And of Bray's initial release, no difference to me. I'm certain they knew it wasn't DDoS before all of this.

"It's a private company and 1A does not apply. Don't like their pricing structure, don't use the platform."

Trumpsters are the biggest "haters" on the damn planet. There's a reason why his biggest supporters are uneducated racists.I repeat what I said earlier: Haters gotta hate. They can't help it. It's who they are.
Sure you are. Where in the contract you didn't read does it say that your ISP is obliged to give you access to the entire Internet? Or that it can't throttle high-bandwidth services unless they pay it?Completely different. I'm PAYING the ISP for INTERnet access. Meaning, I'm paying them for access to networks outside of their own intranet. If they stop providing access to any of those services, I'm not getting the service I paid for.
