The Censoring Left: ‘Net Neutrality’ for Thee – Not for Me
by Seton Motley June 8, 2020Network Neutrality is a top-down, government-centric Internet policy – for which the Left has pushed for more than a decade.

Hillary Clinton’s Terrible Government Broadband Plan
by Seton Motley August 16, 2016With all the attending awfulness you expect. The laxness, the arrogance – the terrible performance. (See: ObamaCare, the Post Office, “green energy,” your Department of Motor Vehicles,….) And the willful denial of the fact that innumerable past failures – portend more of the exact same, should we be foolish enough to yet again try the exact same.

ObamaCare And Net Neutrality Are Doing Exactly The Damage Their Opponents Predicted
by Seton Motley August 2, 2016Like with all huge new government power grabs, there are a few very predictable post-grab outcomes. Let’s look at a few through the prisms of relatively new grab Net Neutrality – and ObamaCare, a more vintage grab thus doing even more predicted damage.

Comments to the FCC Regarding Privacy and Broadband
by Bartlett Cleland June 3, 2016The FCC’s proposed privacy rule in no way will lead to the stated goal of protecting consumers. In fact, the logical and obvious result of the proposal is to create a confusing thicket of government privacy rules emanating from both the FCC and FTC which will lead consumer confusion and likely real harm.

In Venezuela, Net Neutrality Does In Fact Mean Internet Censorship
by Seton Motley May 27, 2016Venezuela is an official Socialist Utopia disaster area. (It would be nice if Team Bernie Sanders and his Democrat cohorts were paying attention – but who are we kidding.)
The United States State Department issued a travel warning back on September 18 (which still appears to be in place). The news, meanwhile, is chock full of horror stories for the people of Venezuela – the victims of full government’s inexorable conclusion. -

The Koch Brothers Don’t Want Government Cronyism – Google Does
by Seton Motley May 5, 2016It is an incessant refrain – from Leftists and the media (please pardon the redundancy). This annoying gaggle whines and moans that the quintessential, awful faces of corporate influence over government are those of Charles and David Koch.

Everyone Loathes the Latest Obama Power Grab – Except Google, and That’s All That Matters
by Seton Motley May 5, 2016A key Barack Obama Administration legacy item is its wanton abuse of the Constitution’s separation and balance of powers. No Executive Branch in history has spent more time pretending to be the Legislative Branch – writing regulations where the requisite preceding law doesn’t exist.

The FCC is Just Another Dishonest, Authoritarian Arm of the Obama Administration
by Seton Motley April 20, 2016The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) describes itself thus: “An independent U.S. government agency overseen by Congress.” Under the Barack Obama Administration, it has been none of these things.

Washington, D.C. Bipartisanship, They Say? Someone Tell the FCC
by Seton Motley April 7, 2016There is much bemoaning of the loss of bipartisanship in Washington, D.C. Gone, they say, are the grand bargains – the two Parties coming together to reach deals that solve problems. Such the loss, they say.

Google, Like Facebook, Should Admit They Were Wrong About Net Neutrality
by Seton Motley March 23, 2016Network Neutrality is a really stupid, anti-capitalism policy – that outlaws on the Internet several basic, fundamental free market tenets that are in practice in every other sector of a functioning economy.

Many in Washington DC are Drowning in Lake Me
by Seton Motley March 15, 2016I’ve heard the following quote ascribed to National Basketball Association (NBA) player, coach and executive Pat Riley – but the Internet is not giving up the ghost on provenance to him or anyone else. As I recall, the recitation is: “That player is drowning in Lake Me.” Meaning a person who is totally self-absorbed. Transfixed by their own navel (which actually has a name – Omphaloskepsis). A person who finds himself endlessly fascinating – and utterly invaluable.

Google: When Something on the Internet is Free – You’re the Product
by Seton Motley March 9, 2016And that, in a nutshell, is the lion’s share of Google’s business model. And business – is booming. Google is worth a net $350 billion. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Denmark – is $342 billion.
