The Federal Communications Commission has officially begun to undo Obama-era regulations on Internet service providers, often called net neutrality rules. The rules, passed in 2015, had placed cable and telecom companies under the strictest-ever oversight of the agency.

As dozens of protesters outside urged the agency to stop the proceeding and keep the strict oversight, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai argued that the current rules represented a "bureaucratic straitjacket" on the industry.

didnt hillary say she was against the tpp?

She went back and forth. But anybody who is paying attention knows that's exactly what she was going to do.

and the tpp was an attempt to isolate china, more than it was a free trade deal.

Whatever the motive it would have been a disaster for the country
 
I'm starting to get pretty sick of winning all the time.
