Net Neutrality Is 'Marxist,' According to This Koch-Backed Astroturf Group

A mysterious conservative group with strong ties to the Koch brothers has been bombarding inboxes with emails filled with disinformation and fearmongering in an attempt to start a "grassroots" campaign to kill net neutrality—at one point suggesting that "Marxists" think that preserving net neutrality is a good idea.

1. I am so disheartened for the future of our nation.

Idiocracy. 500 years earlier than the movie projected.

[TBF]

2. The Koch Bros are confused as usual -

Net neutrality (also network neutrality or Internet neutrality) is the principle that Internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the Internet equally, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, and modes of communication.

Net Neutrality means the net stays as is - it isn't a takeover by anyone. Giving up net neutrality, which the Koch Bros. would prefer, is a takeover of the Internet by large corporations.

Yes someone with Marxist inclinations would rather the Koch Bros. not take over the Internet.

4. Still struggling to find the right 'spin', others warn that.........

an age old nemesis, the United Nations, at Obamas behest is threating the free development of the Internet.

UN Grabs For The Internet: CFR, Chatham House Lead Toward “Global Governance”

Unbeknownst to most Americans, the effort to transfer that control to the UN — including Internet taxing, censoring, and surveillance powers — is already far advanced. As The New American reported in March of this year, the Obama administration has already begun the phased transfer of Internet control to a nebulous and uncertain governance structure that has been set up as an innocent-appearing transition platform that, ultimately, is set for transfer to UN control.

This spin has been around for a while but has yet to gain traction in the right wing alternate reality.
If I were to bet, given better finances, the Koch perspective will be the accepted truth.

Which truth will show the evil bum rush of Net Neutrality ?
