But he has moved before and will move again. Most people don't get beyond posting on facebook. I love this. I think more people should vote with their feet.

Why is this meaningless?

SOPA.

Edit: down votes? What exactly is the problem with pointing out a huge victory for "meaningless public temper tantrums?"

Well, I didn't vote you up or down, I'm replying instead-- but SOPA was passed... when they tried again and called it "net neutrality". Everyone was for it, but did you read the 800 pages?

If the FCC's rules are just SOPA in disguise then why did all the republican's cry about it when they heavily supported SOPA until the backlash?

SOPA was killed after threat of veto from the white house but then Obama supports net neutrality rules from the FCC it is now suddenly SOPA 2.0 OH MAH GOD?

So you are wrong on both points, SOPA did not ever pass (PIPA in the senate did not pass either), and net neutrality is not some secret government takeover of the internet. Unless you feel that the first amendment is the government taking over free speech?

The actual "rules" part of the Open Internet order is 8 pages long.

And the rest, part that is explanations and cites and summaries of the comments received during the commentary period isn't anywhere near 800 pages.

Did you read the bit where he moved to the UK from the USA?

>people throwing meaningless public temper tantrums like this was an American habit

It is, it's just that in the internet age those can be adopted fast.

He's putting his money where his mouth is. How is that meaningless?
