The US government is seeking public comments on blocking sites accused of hosting copyright infringing materials and ISP liability in such cases. The discussion includes possible harmonization with current developments in the EU in regards to copyright and will take place in two parts. The first stage will deal with US case law developments since the last meetings. The second stage will focus on foreign developments, such as the infamous Articles 11, 12a, and 13, and how these relate to the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of Internet service provider liability.
The U.S. Government's Copyright Office is continuing its review on the future of the DMCA's safe harbor provisions. It's specifically asking the public for input on recent domestic and international developments that relate to ISP liability, including Article 13 and pirate site blocking.

Democrats instituted net neutrality. Republicans repealed it.
I'm with the people who demonstrated their support for net neutrality with their actions. And, I am opposed to those who demonstrated their opposition with their actions.

Democrats instituted net neutrality.
Oh please! They did no such thing... Where's the legislation? Besides, the executive order was completely toothless compared to what is needed. Again, theatrics that accomplished nothing but create a distraction. Man, even looking behind the curtain won't make a difference to you. Your display of faith is exactly the same as the Trump supporters.

It's called a declaratory ruling and it's located right here. [fcc.gov] This is how the Democrats instituted net neutrality.
Here is the declaratory ruling [fcc.gov] that the Republicans then used to repeal net neutrality.
If both parties are the exact same then why are they doing the exact opposite?

Because it is easier to make the world black and white then deal with the mess that is politics. That isn't the answer you were looking for but I presume that was rhetorical anyway!

Ah yeah, conservatives, try to hide my regulatory references with a downmod.
I'll take that as an acknowledgment that you have no rebuttal and that I just won the argument.

Yes they are acting precisely the same way, they should have written proper legislation passed by congress, so screw their phony bullshit. Neither side really wants your net neutrality. Don't you recognize "good cop/bad cop" when you see it? Or are you that much of a fan?
