In other news.. FCC voted 2-1 to kill net neutrality
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...itle-ii-rules/
Once again Republicans pick the right people for the job of serving the people.. WTG guys you made Comcast, Time Warner & Verizon proud. The people not so much but don't worry half of them are fucking idiots. The best lobbyist money can buy streamlined right into the FCC director's position!.

We're not fucked, it will be reversed in 2020. Fuck Republicans!
Porn will be the first impacted. The FCC plans to take comments on its plan until August 16 (the docket is available here) and then make a final decision sometime after that. So GO HERE and voice your opinion to the FCC! |

Net neutrality is just code speak for government regulation of the internet. There should be little to none of that unless negative things begin to happen that require fixing.
One of the bigger issues with net neutrality right now is that it's technically illegal for a cell provider to offer access to certain streaming services free of charge (like playing Spotify doesn't count against your data) while not extending the same offer to other services. Those violations aren't currently being enforced, but they could be. |

The govt will regulate what they want on the internet regardless of net neutrally or not. There is not a single fucking down side of net neutrally for consumers. Not having net neutrally just means ISPs can ass rape you on data charges just like the cell phone companies do. Stop being a fucking meat puppet.

It's amazing that people can work online, yet not understand both sides of the net neutrality argument.
I've seen the cable TV tiers used as an example a thousand times, but that doesn't apply to the internet. There are multiple cable TV tiers because the cable companies license access from the networks based on subscriber count. They can't get access to broadcast every station without charging everyone $150+ a month. But not everyone wants to pay that, so they offer stripped down packages (thus lowering the licensing fees for the cable company) all the way down to $30 or whatever per month. You aren't going to get online one day only to find out that Wikipedia is now in the "education tier" that costs $10 a month extra. ISPs do not pay licensing fees to any website. |

When a cell provider offers free bandwidth access to a streaming service, but they charge bandwidth as usual for another service, that is discrimination. It is a violation of net neutrality.

Imagine if Comcast started up its own movie or music streaming service. They could just choose to put Netflix or Spotify in a "slow lane" so Comcast customers will choose their fast service over one of the slower ones. Of course, all of these things could piss off customers and they will switch to an ISP that doesn't do that, but roughly 30% of the country only has one choice when it comes to broadband ISPs and many others only have two. If both are throttling, then you have no real choice. |

Well, now that the election has happened and net neutrality is basically dead, there will be no investigations and doing this, paid or free, is fine. |

They could charge content providers AND throttle AND tier level pricing, nothing stopping them. |
