LIBERAL PROPAGANDISTS WANT TO SLICE UP PAI​



A top US regulator, preparing to roll back so-called "net neutrality" rules, said Tuesday that large internet platforms represent the biggest threat to online freedom because they routinely block content they don't like.

Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai delivered remarks days after unveiling plans to reverse a hotly contested 2015 rule.

Pai said internet platforms play a significant role in determining what internet users see.

"Recent experience shows that so-called edge providers are in fact deciding what content they see," Pai said. "These providers routinely block or discriminate against content they don't like."

The blunt remarks appeared to confirm a tougher atmosphere in Washington for Silicon Valley.

Pai, appointed by President Donald Trump, offered an example of Twitter's decision to block a video by a Republican candidate because it featured a pro-life message.

"This conduct is many things, but it isn't fighting for an open internet."

A Syracuse man is accused of threatening to kill a congressman and his family if he didn't support net neutrality, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.

Patrick D. Angelo, 28, of Syracuse was arrested and charged by criminal complaint with interstate communication of a threat and threatening a federal official, authorities announced. The charges carry a maximum of 10 years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Angelo allegedly called the Washington, D.C., office of Congressman John Katko, R-Camillus, on Oct. 17 and left a threatening voicemail that included a death threat to Katko and his family if the congressman didn't support net neutrality.

Katko represents New York's 24th District.

Angelo made an initial appearance Wednesday afternoon in U.S. District Court. He is being held pending a detention hearing Friday.

The message said, “Listen Mr. Katko, if you support net neutrality, I will support you. But if you don’t support net neutrality, I will find you and your family and I will kill you all. Do you understand?”

The message continued, " 'I will literally find all of you and your progeny and just wipe you from the face of the Earth. Net neutrality is more important than the defense of the United States. Net neutrality is more important than free speech. Net neutrality is more important than health care. Net neutrality is literally the basis of the new society. That even if you don’t understand, how important it is, net neutrality is literally the basis of the new free society. So if you don’t support it, I am willing to lay down my li-' (recording ends).”
