Republicans’ “Internet Freedom Act” would wipe out net neutrality
Quote:“Once the federal government establishes a foothold into managing how Internet service providers run their networks they will essentially be deciding which content goes first, second, third, or not at all," Blackburn wrote. "My legislation will put the brakes on this FCC overreach and protect our innovators from these job-killing regulations.”
THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE
Net Neutrality *prevents* anyone from saying what goes first, second, third, or not at all. You can't just attach the word freedom to everything and make it good.

We know where her interests lie.....
" In the latest election cycle, Blackburn received $25,000 from an AT&T political action committee (PAC), $20,000 from a Comcast PAC, $20,000 from a cable industry association PAC, and $15,000 from a Verizon PAC, according to the Center for Responsive Politics."
