The Babylon Bee: ‘Internet Service Providers Should Not Be Able To Decide What People Can See Online,’ Says Man Who Decides What People Can See Online
MENLO PARK, CA—Tech titan Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, came out strongly against the repeal of net neutrality Friday, calling the rollback of the Obama-era regulation an “injustice.”
“Internet Service Providers should not be able to decide what people can see online,” the man who decides what two billion people can see online every day said in a Facebook video that was placed in front of the precise amount of people he wished. “It’s a violation of a free and open internet.”

WNU Editor: The same can be said about other supporters of Net Neutrality .... Google, Microsoft, Twitter, etc.. and who were conveniently left out of President Oabam's NN regulations. The outrage over the abolition of NN is so out of place that I do not even know where to begin.

I certainly do not want to badmouth or support Mark Z. but there is a distinction between what he says can and can not be on his --I will call it Product--and what those who do not own, control, etc his product wish to censor. He can decide not to let my racial crazed pieces appear on his owned site, but that does NOT give the cable company, a search engine, etc to decide what should and should not be on his place. (ps: the govt might have a say or want a say...that is another issue.)
