RE: "What in the Hell is going on with the Department of Justice?" Trey Gowdy shreds Deputy AG Rosenstein
The Internet got along just fine for several decades without Marxist meddling, and will get along just fine in the future without Marxist meddling. Interestingly enough, the first of Obama's #netneutrality victims were poor people who enjoyed free data access...funny, that.
Commentary: 7 Surprising Things About the End of Net Neutrality
First, it is worth pointing out that net neutrality rules are quite new—the law was only enacted in mid-2015—although the concept has been around since the 1990s. Prior to 2015, there was no net neutrality and, well, the Internet worked just fine for most people. Occasionally, an ISP was caught slowing down (throttling) certain sites, but public pressure or legal action tended to keep the ISP honest. There is little reason to believe that a future with no net neutrality regulation will be very different from the past.
Second, the issue with net neutrality is multi-speed Internet service, not web censorship. An ISP might be frustrated that Netflix consumes 35% of its bandwidth at peak hours, but it cannot legally block it, with or without net neutrality. Even with no net neutrality, the most that an ISP could do would be to slow down access to Netflix, and charge people for higher speeds. In reality, this is not likely to happen—the public backlash would be too severe. More likely, the ISPs would discriminate by offering their own preferred content faster and cheaper. Ironically, this is already happening under net neutrality regulation: AT&T, for example, offers DirecTV access as a “zero rating” product, i.e. it does not count toward data caps.

He is one of the main reasons you and I enjoyed the internet until to day.
The Story of Aaron Swartz: "The Internet's Own Boy" Director Q&A
Not buying it - I was happily using the Internet for four years before Swartz was born. I recognize his accomplishments, but that's it.
Left loses its mind over #NetNeutrality repeal, will be awfully surprised when nothing bad happens
He died because of the socialist government actions 2013.

The internet is here to stay may be forever or hundreds of years. From 1991 until now this would be just the baby life span of the internet. We have just reached the childhood. And now everyone is trying to raise this child to be his slave. The war over controlling just started. We have to wait to see how it will end. And how it will affect crypto currency, mining, and this very platform Steemit. You have a nice day.
