Here's the written version of the testimony I delivered for @freepress to the Massachusetts State Senate Special Committee on #NetNeutrality: https://www.freepress.net/sites/default/files/resources/free_press_massachusetts_senate_testimony.pdf …

Tell them that the technology to testify by video was able to be developed *because* the net was neutral at the time.

The free market isn't free when the owner of an essential piece of infrastructure paid to transmit data can discriminate against other businesses.

Cool, see you around. Good luck getting your laundry done. Seems like it's a pretty big pile and you haven't sorted it out yet.

How on earth do regulations preventing blocking and throttling -- which do happen all of the time, BTW -- hurt the people protected by these nondiscrimination rules? https://www.freepress.net/blog/2017/04/25/net-neutrality-violations-brief-history …

Great answer. I assume you've run out of talking points on your script here, or what?

The rules are still in place, as the repeal is not yet fully effective.

Do you think you should have the right to say whatever you want on the phone, or should the phone company get to edit your speech? That's what this "regulation" does: it keeps the network open to you and lets you make that choice. Removing it only grants "freedom" to the ISPs.
