FCC Approves Net Neutrality

[hollohas]

Soon they'll propose the "Fairness Act" on the internet, too many "right winger" sites.

It's been done before (with TV and radio) and there were reports last year that the FCC was considering doing it again.

Is the FCC Trying to Revive the ‘Fairness Doctrine’?


The controversy stems from a study the agency plans to conduct on "critical information needs." The FCC is required by law to study ways to eliminate barriers to entry for small media businesses.
Among other things, the agency plans to ask TV journalists about their "news philosophy" and "the process by which stories are selected." The study will gather data on "perceived station bias" and "perceived responsiveness to underserved populations." The FCC also wants to examine how local TV stations cover "critical information" such as "economic opportunities" and the "environment."
