THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Away from the noise of building a wall, deporting millions and the usual remarks by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/the-donald-trump-clown-show\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Donald Trump<\/span><\/strong><\/a> which saturate every political piece out there, the president-elect could hurt the American public and deal a significant blow to free speech in a lesser known way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The impact the president has on the American people usually outlasts his presidency. For instance, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Bill Clinton appointee, has leaned left in her rulings, while Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, a Ronald Reagan appointee, leans to the right in his rulings. As it stands now, there is a vacant seat in the Supreme Court after Justice Antonin Scalia died in early 2016. Therefore, Trump will appoint someone who shares his views.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the things Trump may do that will end up giving Americans the short end of the stick, is signing away at the demands of the Republican-controlled Congress to avoid being branded a Republican In Name Only (RINO)\u2014a common term used to describe the party\u2019s representatives who do not go along party norms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most destructive piece of legislation President-elect Trump could sign into law is Speaker of the House Paul Ryan\u2019s A Better Way. In his proposal, Ryan employs a barrage of euphemism to cover up a radical and otherwise unpopular plan. For instance, under the economy section, he states that we ought to \u201cPreserve internet innovation.\u201d He adds, \u201cWe need to establish clear and consumer-friendly rules\u201d where users will be the \u201cdecision makers for the content they want.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using deceptive language, similar to the solar energy amendment present in the Florida ballot last November, the proposal emphasizes consumer choice. Just like with solar energy, we already have the choice to use the internet any way we want. We don\u2019t need a law that allows us to do so because we already have that power. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cconsumer friendly\u201d rhetoric is simply a cover-up to end net neutrality, suppress information and a way to demote the internet from being a common carrier. Currently, the internet cannot be used to charge more money and favor content by Internet Service Providers (ISP). Instead, all information must be treated equally because it is an extension of the First Amendment, as established by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Federal Communications Commission<\/span><\/strong><\/a> in early 2015. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not the first time net neutrality is threatened. In 2011, the Stop Online Piracy Act, better known as SOPA proposed ISPs to throttle any website the government deemed necessary. It failed soon after its introduction to Congress. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big ISP companies such as Comcast have since spent record cash trying to influence Congress to take a harsher stance against net neutrality. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/OpenSecrets.org\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">OpenSecrets.org<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comcast has spent around $95 million in lobbying since 2011\u2014more than the amount invested in the previous thirteen years combined. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Better Way threatens net neutrality with a Republican majority in Congress and an impending conservative-leaning Supreme Court, Donald Trump could seal the fate of the internet, freedom of speech and freedom of the press with the stroke of a pen.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Away from the noise of building a wall, deporting millions and the usual remarks by Donald Trump which saturate every political piece out there, the president-elect could hurt the American public and deal a significant blow to free speech in a lesser known way.
