H.R.7363 - To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to provide
that an owner or operator of a social media service that hinders
the display of user-generated content shall be treated as a
publisher or speaker of such content, and for other purposes.
Hmmm. The summary is still being written, it says, so possibly this snippet is
misleading? That might be too much to ask.
From what this and previous drivel have said, Verizon or Comcast can alter,
block, or degrade anything they want. But if a user of the telecom service,
like Facebook, does the same thing, that requires some kind of new legislation.
Right!
Ironic. So, these ignoramuses/crooks at the FCC, and now also in Congress, are
wanting to regulate the neutrality of users, such as information services,
including social media sites, but not the (always monopolistic) telecom service
itself? What matters most? Where do consumers have the least number of options?
Where is there a presumption of absolute neutrality? The telecom link, or
whoever might be on the opposite end of that link?
Our crooked and devious FCC Chairman has always been on this warpath. To
distract attention from those he's in bed with.
