But with two weeks left before the Federal Communications Commission votes to eliminate net neutrality rules, Pai today blamed actress\/singer Cher and other celebrities for boosting opposition to his plan.<\/p>\n<p>In a speech <a href=\"http:\/\/transition.fcc.gov\/Daily_Releases\/Daily_Business\/2017\/db1128\/DOC-347980A1.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">hosted by conservative group<\/a> R Street and the Lincoln Network, Pai also addressed criticism from MCU actor Mark Ruffalo, actress Alyssa Milano, former Star Trek actor George Takei, and <em>Silicon Valley<\/em> actor Kumail Nanjiani. Pai also claimed that Twitter and other Web companies pose a greater threat to Internet freedom than Internet service providers like Comcast.<\/p>\n<p>Pai said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Another concern I&#039;ve heard is that the plan will harm rural and low-income Americans. Cher, for example, has tweeted that the Internet &quot;Will Include LESS AMERICANS NOT MORE&quot; if my proposal is adopted. But the opposite is true. The digital divide is all too real. Too many rural and low-income Americans are still unable to get high-speed Internet access. But heavy-handed Title II regulations just make the problem worse! They reduce investment in broadband networks, especially in rural and low-income areas. By turning back time, so to speak, and returning Internet regulation to the pre-2015 era, we will expand broadband networks and bring high-speed Internet access to more Americans, not fewer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As in the above quote, Pai continues to claim that net neutrality rules decrease network investment despite the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2017\/05\/title-ii-hasnt-hurt-network-investment-according-to-the-isps-themselves\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ISPs themselves<\/a> have told investors that the rules do not harm their network investments. Meanwhile, Pai&#039;s FCC is scaling back the <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2017\/11\/sorry-poor-people-the-fcc-is-coming-after-your-broadband-plans\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">federal Lifeline program<\/a> that helps poor people purchase broadband.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#039;s the Cher tweet that Pai was talking about:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Net Neutrality means<br \/>Trump can Change The<br \/>Internet <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/2.3\/72x72\/203c.png\" alt=\"\u203c\"\/>It Will Include LESS AMERICANS NOT MORE<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/2.3\/72x72\/203c.png\" alt=\"\u203c\"\/><br \/>Now Comcast,AT&amp;T,Google<br \/>Will show you ONLY WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO SEE <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/2.3\/72x72\/203c.png\" alt=\"\u203c\"\/>SLOWER AND MORE EXPENSIVE AT THEIR WHIM<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/2.3\/72x72\/203c.png\" alt=\"\u203c\"\/>SEE LESS,CHARGED MORE\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cher (@cher) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cher\/status\/933169732622065665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">November 22, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ruffalo apparently got on Pai&#039;s nerves with this tweet:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Taking away <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NetNeutrality?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">#NetNeutrality<\/a> is the Authoritarian dream.

Government control is the defining feature of authoritarians, including the one in North Korea.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Milano earned a rebuke from the FCC chairman with this tweet:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I know.

In reality, returning to 1990s-era Internet regulation would require more of the Title II utility-style regulation that Pai abhors, not less.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If this were <em>Who&#039;s the Boss?<\/em>, this would be an opportunity for Tony Danza to dish out some wisdom about the consequences of making things up,&quot; Pai said today.<\/p>\n<p>Pai&#039;s attempt to cast net neutrality support as a Hollywood-driven phenomenon came on the same day that he released a &quot;<a href=\"http:\/\/transition.fcc.gov\/Daily_Releases\/Daily_Business\/2017\/db1128\/DOC-347961A1.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Myth vs. Fact<\/a>&quot; sheet that claims public comments to the FCC don&#039;t show significant support for net neutrality. Pai&#039;s office called it a &quot;myth&quot; that commenters &quot;overwhelmingly want the FCC to preserve and protect net neutrality,&quot; arguing that fraudulent comments far outnumber legitimate ones.<\/p>\n<p>That&#039;s true largely because the FCC imposed no real restrictions on comment uploads and took no steps to remove fraudulent comments from the record. But <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2017\/08\/isp-funded-study-finds-huge-support-for-keeping-current-net-neutrality-rules\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">analyses<\/a> of comments show that about 98 or 99 percent of &quot;unique&quot; comments <a href=\"https:\/\/hackernoon.com\/more-than-a-million-pro-repeal-net-neutrality-comments-were-likely-faked-e9f0e3ed36a6\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">oppose the net neutrality repeal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even one Republican senator, Susan Collins of Maine, <a href=\"https:\/\/bangordailynews.com\/2017\/11\/24\/politics\/collins-pingree-king-rip-plan-to-end-net-neutrality\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">has joined Democrats in opposing<\/a> Pai&#039;s plan to repeal net neutrality rules.<\/p>\n<p>While Pai had time today to blast celebrities, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says Pai has <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2017\/11\/fcc-stonewalled-investigation-of-net-neutrality-comment-fraud-ny-ag-says\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">refused<\/a> to cooperate with an investigation into fraud in the FCC&#039;s public comments.<\/p>\n<h2>Pai attacks more celebrities<\/h2>\n<p>Actor George Takei got Pai&#039;s attention by tweeting out an article describing an Internet plan in Portugal that appears to show the Internet being divided up into cable TV-like packages, with the implication that &quot;this would happen in the United States if the plan were adopted.&quot; Pai is right to push back on this claim. The Verge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2017\/11\/22\/16691506\/portugal-meo-internet-packages-net-neutrality-ajit-pai-plan\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">published an article last week<\/a> explaining that the image of the Portuguese mobile plan has been distributed in a misleading way. The Portuguese plan is similar to zero-rating implementations that give consumers extra mobile data for certain websites, which are already allowed in the US.<\/p>\n<p>Pai also bristled at Nanjiani&#039;s claim that, after the net neutrality repeal, &quot;We will never go back to a free Internet.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;But here&#039;s the simple truth,&quot; Pai said. &quot;We had a free and open Internet for two decades before 2015, and we&#039;ll have a free and open Internet going forward.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Pai has claimed that net neutrality rules aren&#039;t needed because ISPs can be trusted not to block or throttle Internet content\u2014even though they have done just that in the past <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2017\/11\/comcast-throttling-bittorrent-was-no-big-deal-fcc-says\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">before rules were in place<\/a> and occasionally afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Pai <em>does<\/em> see threats to Internet openness, but not from ISPs. Twitter, he said, &quot;appears to have a double standard when it comes to suspending or de-verifying conservative users&#039; accounts as opposed to those of liberal users.&quot; Other websites &quot;routinely block or discriminate against content they don&#039;t like,&quot; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Pai&#039;s speech angered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.incompas.org\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Incompas<\/a>, a trade group that represents Twitter and other companies.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Preventing hate speech and bullying behavior online is not the same thing as allowing cable companies to block, throttle, and extort money from consumers and the websites they love,&quot; Incompas CEO Chip Pickering said in a statement today. &quot;Twitter is an amazing platform for left, right, and center. Donald Trump might not be President without it, and Chairman Pai&#039;s plan to kill net neutrality will put Comcast and AT&amp;T in charge of his Twitter account.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the FCC isn&#039;t the primary regulator of Twitter and websites. It is the primary regulator of Internet service providers that have to follow net neutrality rules. By deregulating broadband, Pai&#039;s FCC is relinquishing some regulatory authority to the Federal Trade Commission, but FTC enforcement will <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2017\/04\/unenforceable-how-voluntary-net-neutrality-lets-isps-call-the-shots\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">depend largely<\/a> on ISPs to make voluntary commitments to uphold net neutrality.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#039;re hoping for a late change before next month&#039;s FCC vote, temper your expectations.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;[W]hen you get past the wild accusations, fear-mongering, and hysteria, here&#039;s the boring bottom line: the plan to restore Internet freedom would return us to the light touch, market-based approach under which the Internet thrived,&quot; Pai said today. &quot;And that&#039;s why I am asking my colleagues to vote for it on December 14.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1211773\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p> [contf] [contfnew]         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/themes\/ars\/assets\/img\/material-ars-db41652381.png\"\/> <\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ars Technica<\/a><\/h5>\n<p> [contfnewc] [contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge\/ US singer and actress Cher poses on October 10, 201..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
