The trick is to just insert the embed, title, and tags, then hit submit, hit submit again, hit upvote, then hit edit.

Shouldn't there be more discussion about this video than just "ya beat me to it!"? This video finally made me email friends and family to let them know about the threat. It never felt so real before.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee inventor of the World Wide Web?... But that was Al Gore... LIES I SAY FILTHY LIES ALL OF IT!!

I wish they hadn't added those devil horns to the graphic at 5:11. Let the facts stand on their own. Childish characterizations like that just undermine the credibility and objectivity of the entire argument.

The telecom companies shown are doing this for $, not to spread evil or because they hate Chris Crocker's right to free speech.

I'm glad there's no stuff like AT&T, here, in Europe.

Wait.

AT&T -> Bell -> Alcatel-Lucent ...

Ooooh crap !

This is a mind-blowingly good video....

I was put off it due to the title and how seriously deep it sounded. I wonder how many others are the same..

This should have 200 votes. Not only is this the whole point behind videosift, the very reason for it, but it also relies on it. This video is videosift!

Way too many typos. Also, there were some good reasons for regulating radio frequencies but those specific reasons are not compared to the greed based reasoning of the anti-net crowd. Also, why, if we have digital transmitters and receivers capable of narrow bandwidth, aren't we seeing more local OTA stations? If the bad buys go on to discuss things like 1920's bandwidth and compare them to what we have now they will gain credibility without serious opposition. I see this type of crap reasoning all the time in federal court.

I have become pretty disgusted with At&t's actions the past few years. What did I do, dump them as a customer. Vote with your money. Call them up and tell them why you refuse to be their customer. What's more important, your Iphone or net neutrality? Domestic Spying or getting a cheap cell service plan?

The government does not believe in personal freedom. It hasn't in over 40 years. Therefore it will sell out and screw the people.

The real key to this is that any real legislation done to protect the net will only be used in time to regulate it. The FCC has a terrible record with openness of their mediums, any and all of them. The fact is, they REGULATE them, not deregulate them. They aren't in the business of erasing rules but creating them. Why can't you curse on tv or radio, it isn't because of the companies themselves, it is the FCC. The REAL issue is that fact that state sanctioned monopoly status of media companies is still the order of the day. Why can't you have 2 sets of cable companies in the same area, mostly because of state and municipal laws. The FCC taking control of the internet will do more damage to it than any other source. If you care about net neutrality, then your real battle needs to be the deregulation of the cable and phone industry. Their monopoly status gives them tremendous power. They leverage every cent from consumers they can with little innovation. By in large the slower adaption of high speed in the US has its roots tied up in this. You don't want the FCC regulating the internet, it is a very very very bad idea.
