S773 is quietly coming out of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee where it has been buried since April. This bill gives the President "red-button" authority to shut down and take over the Internet in the event of some unspecified emergency. Call your Senator NOW to oppose it!

CFL just sent out an email about this too.

I don't think singling out "Obama/Pelosi" is intelligent btw.

It's just a general govt trend towards authoritarian rule that needs to be fought without partisan aspect.

At the moment they are the prime movers on this, and it's dividing along mostly partisan lines. I for one do not hesitate to call out either party for what they do. Everyone who knows me knows I vehemently oppose the duopoly. This one is theirs and Rockerfeller's baby, full stop.

I say if Obama gets a red button in the Oval Office to take over the Internet, then I think here in NC we need a red button in the Governor's office, to lock him out.

Even without Obama, there would be enough synergy among MAGA, Pelosi, PayPal founder to get something done soon.

November 7, 2018.
President Trump said on Wednesday that he's open to working across the aisle with Democrats to regulate social media
In a lengthy press conference a day after the midterm elections that saw the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives, Trump was asked if social media companies were unfairly censoring conservative voices and if he would work with the opposition party to rein in their power.
"Believe it or not, I'm really one that really likes free speech," Trump told reporters. "A lot of people don't understand that. When you start regulating, a lot of bad things can happen. But I would certainly talk to the Democrats if they want to do that. And I think they do want to do that."

You’re the Best,’ Trump Once Told Pelosi
May 1, 2017
WASHINGTON — The message came in a distant January, at the dawn of a power transfer in Washington — dictated, like so much would be in due time, by something Donald J. Trump saw in the news.
“Nancy — you’re the best,” Mr. Trump wrote to Nancy Pelosi at the beginning of 2007, scribbling on an article about her swearing-in as House speaker after Democrats seized control of the chamber. “Congrats. Donald.”
Mr. Trump had a small hand in her elevation. He had made a $20,000 donation to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
