FCC Commissioner Pai Breaks Rank, Rails Against Net Neutrality
Communications Act of 1934 lol
Can we come up with some other meaningless buzz word designed to make someone seem smarter than they are? I keep seeing this used as some sort of symbol of government perfection like just by invoking those words, it makes socialism acceptable.
Let's not forget that the Act was designed, written and passed by arguably the most socialist left leaning group of law makers the US has ever seen. The legislation was modeled after similar takeover laws in Germany and Russia.
100% of Republicans opposed this Act.
This was followed by the "Fairness Doctrine" yet another socialist law designed to take over the press and free speech.
How anyone can sit here and honestly claim to be both against big government and FOR socialist laws written by so...

>>Can we come up with some other meaningless buzz word
It's not a buzz word. It's the name of an actual piece of legislation. The reason you keep seeing it mentioned is because it is the specific piece of legislation which would govern ISP's if they are reclassified as common carriers.
>>designed to make someone seem smarter than they are?
Or you can just pretend to be smart by labeling things instead of discussing their merits.
>> I keep seeing this used as some sort of symbol of government perfection
Really? Where? I personally haven't seen or heard anyone say that it is perfect.

"The Communications Act of 1934 was a mistake that we have lived with for sixty years. It is time to recognize it for what it is: a substantial assault on the freedom of speech which has haunted us for most of the twentieth century; the Communications Decency Act, which the '34 Act carries piggyback, seeks to extend that profound harm into the 21st century."

I read the linked article. The point of the article is to criticize the Communications Act of 1934 on the grounds of censorship and specifically as it pertains to the Communications Decency Act.
Since you have offered no commentary of your own, am I to understand that your concern with the Communications Act of 1934 is that you believe that if ISP's are classified under said act, that the FCC will use this to censor the internet?

Based on your silence, and the fact that this article appears on the second page of google results for "Communications Act of 1934," I'm going to assume you just grabbed the first thing you found in order to have a pretense of a valid objection. It's clear that other than an utter distrust of the FCC, you don't have any real objection to the legislation. or the ability to express that objection in your own words.
