He keeps fucking over all of the people that voted for him... these people have to be more pissed than the people that just have to deal with it.. after all.... all of his fuckups are partly their fault too. This is another's law that does nothing but help the common American and he is going to do away with it as a favor to his corporate buddies. What a tool. I can't wait to see him get impeached and go down as the worst president in history.

Next up on President Donald Trump's to-do list? Unraveling Obama-era net neutrality rules, the president's spokesman Sean Spicer said late this week.

Enacted in February 2015 under then-president Barack Obama, these rules classified large companies like Comcast (cmcsa, +0.21%) that deliver Internet to consumers as public utilities. That meant those companies were unable to discriminate against content providers based on the type and amount of content delivered. The goal was to prevent them from providing fast lanes for some companies (including themselves) and slow lanes for other content providers like Netflix (nflx, -0.17%)Google (goog, -0.23%), or Facebook (fb, -0.22%).

Besides Comcast Comcast, other Internet Service Providers (ISPs) affected by the rules include Charter Communications (chtr, -0.24%) (which bought Time Warner last year), Verizon, and AT&T (t, -0.50%).

Trump's disdain for net neutrality is no surprise. In January he appointed a vocal opponent Ajit Pai, a former Verizon (vz, -0.63%) attorney, to head the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which oversees these regulations.

At a press event Thursday, Spicer reiterated that Trump was determined "to reverse this overreach" which in his view lets Washington D.C. bureaucrats designate winners and losers among different types of companies, according to The New York Times.

This news came just days after the Republican-controlled Congress voted to reverse privacy rules that prevent ISPs from accessing and possibly selling personal browsing information. Supporters of the reversal said those rules force ISPs to do more to protect user privacy than companies like Google (GOOG, -0.23%) and Facebook (FB, -0.22%).

Take it easy on the old timer. He didn't grow up in the age of computer. Cyber is very difficult.

I use a couple of sites that have been shutdown by these attacks.  It's a serious pain in the ass.  

This will make it easier to deny us simple freedom of the airwaves.  You know how hard it is to get in here after a big signing or other event.  Imagine going back to the dial-up days.  Some of you are too young to remember, but it was bad.  Korea doesn't know about the internet.  Who benefits when information delivery is stifled?  Dictators?

why does he have stacks of brochures on his desk? are they just magazines with himself on there?

He told his secretary that he needed a cluttered desk to look busy so she went to the newsstand and bought stacks of magazines.

I will never forget the dialup sound. Or trying to find the best phone number to connect to that had the fastest connection. Clicking nudie pictures and getting excited when it's almost loaded down to the nipples. Lol. Good times.
