In a highly contradictory move, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is telling California that only the federal government has the authority to regulate internet service, while at the same time maintaining that it cannot (will not?) regulate it either. We speak to Ernesto Falcon, legal counsel of the Electronic Frontier Foundation

FIGHT FOR NET NEUTRALITY AND TAKE THE INTERNET BACK FROM BIG CORPORATION. Look up Skycoin and Skywire and start building the internet OWNED BY THE PUBLIC like it is supposed to!!
Thank you for doing God's work.
Excellent discussion. Yes, all that "we're just nice guys who want 'light touch' to internet regulation' argument of Pai doesn't wash when they want to aggressively go after California's decision of net neutrality (the next day!). It shows you how venal and nasty that dude is behind his fake smile…not a good person.
Like it or not learn to live with less internet usage. Remember ya local library is a thing
But that's what we voted for- pure fraud & lies.
These corrupt Repukelicans pay lip service to states' rights and lowering the reach of federal power except when California passes a net neutrality law to protect its citizens and its economy. Then all of a sudden, this corrupt current regime is all against states' rights because it's not in lock step with their ultimate plan of centralizing power (and information) in the huge corporations' hands.
Maybe the case will be fast tracked to SCOTUS, and BarfK will be in the Robert's Six, so California will be stomped on, Corporations win!!!
The doj are pieces of shit
Jeff Sessions needs to be fired, for a whole host of reasons. Same with Ajit Pai. This is a conspiracy.
So the DOJ is fascist controlled.
WH=MH MAD people from MAD HOUSE ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜this is like mad people are fighting with smart people. Let's see how can low IQ dumpster can stop smart people from getting on net.
US is an Oligarchy, controlled by small group of rich elites. Look at all this power companies like At&t have over our Government.
California can learn from Chattanooga TN and free itself from these bottomless greedy corporations.
More and more we're seeing the government bow to private corporate interests. Thankfully, these watchdog groups exist. However, they're greatly out gunned. When is enough going to be enough? The FCC chairman, who, incidentally, is an Obama appointee, openly defied the public sentiment and the DOJ is now taking inconsistent positions to continue the assault. It's outrageous that they still call this a "democracy" when it's anything but.
Sessions is a corporate tool. No wonder he doesn't give a flip about Russia-gate or any other National issue.
So the Department of Injustice is fighting hard to prevent justice.
The Department of Injustice you meant?
Crackerjack Jeff Beauregard sessions fights against state's rights. Some examples of how the current status of law works versus how the California law works are needed. Is it all theoretical at this point?
It would be more accurate to replace the word "Federal" with "Corporate" when referring to US gov agencies like the justice department. Corporations own the US gov and Corporations are who the US gov protects and helps.
And once again. What the PEOPLE want is not in line with the corporations profits. What happen to the speeches on states rights and all that other crap they used to shout about. Long live PROFIT over people………..sad
The real question of who can pass what laws is how can Verizon, At&T and Comcast pass laws ? How could the DOJ ignore their roles in control over the FCC? Where is the injunction against these three companies regulating?

Go Jerry Brown !!
Tnx, Pls explore more the FCC snd its options (perhaps in a subsequent interview). We do know what net neutrality is and the issues, but the ins-and-outs of every FCC twist and turn in the story, its jurisdiction, legal standing, etc. are grey areas that could benefit form some reporting.
