Actually you did. If you re-read your first reply you'll see that you cliamed the government is allowed to decide what is legal and what isn;t and did so without any qualifications (scope or limit of that ability) except to say by their legislative function whcih means thru the use of passing lesgislation. The Federal Governement has passed many pieces of legislation that range from being highly questionable to out right unconstitutional. Go wolverines

you're right. i didn't provide qualifications, because those qualifications weren't pertinent to what you were complaining about:

The government will use their fondness for ‘interpreting’ to radically change what is considered legal and what is not, thereby limiting free speech on the internet.
in this situation, the government is perfectly within its authority to interpret the laws it has written. if you're talking about Net Neutrality, you're talking about the FCC which has the authority (given to it by Congress) to interpret and define the way the internet works in the US. if you don't like the authority the FCC has to regulate electronic communications (an authority it has had since 1934), you can persuade your representatives to change the laws. but to say the government (via the FCC) is somehow out of bounds in regulating the internet is absolutely loony.
