| > Why don't Democrats pass NN through congress and get it enshrined into law? Because Republicans (and some Democrats, too) have consistently opposed that when it was a legislative issue, and Republicans currently have a majority, preventing Democrats from passing, well, anything without their support. > Instead of trying to block that from happening, since it's Republicans who are trying to do that. The Republican bill would explicitly allow paid prioritization and other practices that are contrary to net neutrality, and would prohibit stronger state protections of net neutrality. It is therefore a bill to prevent rather than protect neutrality. > Why was NN so easy to repeal in the first place? Because Republicans prevented a legislative solution, repeatedly. > Why didn't Obama do a proper job if it's such an important issue? Because the US President isn't a dictator that can impose laws or make “super regulations” that cannot be repealed under future administrations. > Which is why every single large company is opposed to the change. Huh? Large companies that are ISPs are against net neutrality. Large companies and small companies and medium companies that are edge providers tend to be for it. There is no side where all large companies fall. |
