If you take this into consideration with the proposal to give Obama control over the internet in case of "Emergencies", the FCC is actual giving even more control to the Executive Branch.
Ordinarily the service providers could police things that are dangerous, but this rule would disarm them and leave the susceptible to take over my the President.
Why hasn't the FCC looked into the filtered coverage of the major "news" networks?
Reports: FCC to Propose 'Net Neutrality' RulesSaturday, September 19, 2009
WASHINGTON — The head of the FCC plans to propose new rules that would prohibit Internet service providers from interfering with the free flow of information and certain applications over their networks, according to reports published Saturday.
The Washington Post and New York Times said the Federal Communications Commission chairman, Julius Genachowski, will announced the proposed rules in a speech Monday at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.
The proposals would uphold a pledge Barack Obama made during the presidential campaign to support Internet neutrality and would bar companies like Verizon, Comcast or ATT&T, from slowing or blocking certain services or content flowing through their vast networks.
The rules would apply to all ISPs, including wireless service providers.
