The FCC will release a proposal soon to reinstate net neutrality rules that would allow broadband providers to negotiate with content providers for preferential treatment, an agency official confirmed Wednesday.

You would think that "
the people" have already spoken their word about this countless times but as always corporations keep pushing and once again try to sneak it in unopposed.
2# Fracking in the US was finally linked to public health issues via a court case, when a Texas family was awarded $3 million dollars as result of property value loss and the biggie, health related issues.
This is the first case to prove a link between fracking and health issues.

The Parrs – Bob, Lisa, and their daughter Emma – said their health suffered beginning just months after hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, operations started in their area, which was in 2008. Lisa said her breathing was impaired, and she was inflicted with nausea and headaches. Bob reported suddenly having around three nosebleeds per week, an anomaly compared to the rest of his life, he said. And Emma also reported nosebleeds, as well as nausea and rashes. She was diagnosed with asthma soon after the drilling began.

Part of the proof that was brought forward, was that Lisa Parrs blood work contained chemicals from the fracking. Meaning it's likely the first case to show a confirmed link between fracking and public health issues.
None is the "regular" media is covering this case (go figure) so you get to pick between RT or the political blogs.. Agenda or not, the court case was very real as was the court's decision.
