If they try it, can we fight it based up it being selective burdening of Constitutionally-protected free speech, namely our sites???
We seem to often be targets of politicians, especially since "georgy" got elected:-(
YUK!

Where in the fuck did you read this garbage. How does an ISP determine what a "porn website" is?
"Net Neutrality" doesn't have anything to do with porn. What that means is that ISPs have to provide the same bandwidth to all sites regardless of how much trafic the have. If they get rid of "Net Neutrality" then ISP can slow down traffic coming from any site they want until those sites pay the ISP for a faster access.
So for example Bellsouth can strike a deal with say Micrsoft and thus make Google and Yahoo come in unreasonably slow so people won't use those sites anymore for seacrh and isntead use MSN.
Or Comcast could strike a deal with FoxSports and make ESPN come in super slow.
Or an ISP could make ANY site that competes with them come in slow.
