They’re coming for Net Neutrality again! On Wednesday, current FCC Chair Ajit Pai (who formerly served as Associate General Counsel for Verizon) will formally propose a roll back of Title II protections for the open internet. The full board will be voting on the issue on December 14, but given the current composition of the board, the expectation is that it will be approved.

On Tuesday, Pai announced his plan in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal (an annotated analysis by Mashable’s Jason Abbruzzese is here). In this video clip former FCC Chair Tom Wheeler, who presided over the most recent implementation of the Title II protections, weighs in on the issue, interviewed by Bloomberg’s Emily Chang.

 

We at San Diego Free Press love watching all kinds of video. Those short visual stories entertain, inform, and agitate in a way completely different from the written word.

Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.

So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.
