The Corporate Takeover of the Internet: What They Aren't Telling You | Graham Elwood

An investigative political commentary and telecom policy analysis hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante. Graham examines reporting from Ann Garrison in the Black Agenda Report featuring Tracy Rosenberg, executive director of Media Alliance. The discussion details the ongoing battle to restore net neutrality through the Congressional Review Act (CRA), grassroots pressure via BattleForTheNet, pending federal court challenges against the FCC in the D.C. Circuit, and dangerous examples of ISP bandwidth throttling—including Verizon throttling wireless service for first responders and fleeing residents during catastrophic California wildfires to force paid plan upgrades.
