Corporate America Strikes Back Against Net Neutrality

Television Ads have begun to air coast to coast by a corporate front group called "Broadband for America" that inaccurately claims that the Title II regulations that will enshrine #NetNeutrality  are some type of government overreach. This blatant propaganda is clearly designed to try to trick gullible fools with the usual bullshit right wing talking points about how regulations are supposedly bad for consumers.

For those who don't know, NN has been in legal limbo for years, and greedy cable corporate villains like Comcast and Charter want to create #SlowLanes  for any company, organization, or person that can't afford to pay them more money for express delivery. That would take away the freedom of consumers to have equal access to any content they want. It is the epitome of corporate tyranny. 

Let broadband4us know in no uncertain terms that their propaganda is not welcome. And let your congressperson know that they need to support #TitleII  protections of Net Neutrality.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
