The FCC’s net neutrality rules are returning to the crosshairs of Republicans. Two of the remaining FCC commissioners, both members of the GOP, have promised internet service providers (ISPs) lobbying groups they will begin gutting net neutrality rules “as soon as possible.”
FCC chairman Tom Wheeler, a Democrat, is set to leave office when Donald Trump takes office on January 20. Wheeler’s departure will significantly expose the net neutrality rules passed last year with only Democratic votes.
Pai and O’Reilly will have 2-1 Republican majority after Wheeler’s departure. Donald Trump will then nominate two new members to the FCC after taking the presidency, and his nominations will be confirmed by the Senate. The process typically takes several months to complete, which means Pai and O’Reilly will have months to oversee federal rule-making. The biggest change promised by the FCC commissioners, however, is the repeal of the Title II net neutrality order that prohibits ISPs from blocking or throttling web traffic. The Title II order is by far the most controversial part of the net neutrality rules and ensures that ISPs can’t charge people more money for visiting websites like Netflix or YouTube If revoked, it would significantly change how people pay for and use the internet.

These are the same fucks who are so far distanced from the average person than they think a six figure salary for being a congressman is too little and that they need more.

You know now I actually think it's a good thing ICANN is no longer in the hands of the US
Luis Myers
trump IS the swamp.
Leo Thomas

Joseph Williams
it's a fake image.
it's saying massive because it's not actually massive, it's meant to trick the common retard in america they're getting a good deal. because leftists are against this right wingers are going to think this will be great for them and that we're just stopping them from getting amazing speeds and deals.
Isaiah James
People would riot if this happened. And not the "lets burn down our own businesses" kind, the "lets occupy the government's buildings and burn down the isp's headquarters" kind
Landon Lee
You aren't wrong
Joshua Diaz

Nolan Brown

To bad. Trump just enacted the "PROTECT AMERICA'S FREEDOM AGAINST FREEDOM ACT" You can't protest now.
How you enjoying GOP rule?
Kevin Roberts

No, they will just pay more money to comcrast and bitch about how the liberals are destroying their fast netflix

I seriously hope pic related is true.
Degeneracy will come to a crawl. All the internet zombies will be forced to go outside and see what's happening.

That's what the free market is for. We have too many fucking regulations as it is. Ideally in a free market if someone did the shit proposed in the OP picture then someone would start a company offering a better or equal product for less.
Aaron Robinson

You got played, retards
Prepare your anuses for corporate oligarchy.
James Bennett

Government won't exist.
Kayden Ross
which is why they should eliminate it and just hire Academi the PMC formerly known as XE the PMC formerly known as blackwater
Wyatt Clark

howd that work out for flint michigan? socialism is just a ticking time bomb
Camden Reyes
>We have too many fucking regulations as it is. Yes goyim, corporate regulation is an assault on your freedoms! Don't let them curb our bottom line for the public good, maybe one day you'll be a multibillion corporate manager.
Jacob Wright
>which is why they should eliminate it and just hire Academi the PMC formerly known as XE the PMC formerly known as blackwater
Hey look at that Trump just picked Erik Prince's sister as Education Secretary.
Connor Turner
all your arguments FOR net neutrality also start with "ideally"
Jose James
>howd that work out for flint michigan?
?????
Michigan is controlled by Republicans
William White
yes goyim, pay more taxes. vote for hillary, we need those taxes for wars dontcha know we need even more taxes to keep the internet (((((((neutral))))))
Christian Miller
>Michigan is controlled by Republicans yeah NOW. a half century of socialists kinda forced everyones hand didnt it?
Christopher Sanchez
>all your arguments FOR net neutrality also start with "ideally"
Are you a fucking retard? We have net neutrality now, and it works well, It isn't an "ideal" argument
People can watch shit on youtube, People can surf the most extreme, obscure, heretical, or otherwise websites without them being throttled.
There's nothing ideal about it.
The idea that low-cost alternatives hosting all these small websites would just magically pop up if NN was gotten rid of is delusional.
Fuck, some of you are so stupid, it burns
Thomas White
Why would they pay more money to Comcast?
Comcast will be able to charge Netflix for using 70% of their bandwidth.
This entire thing is geared to nail Netflix and basically no one else. They're getting a subsidy.
Ian Brooks
And you know what they had for that half-century before republicans came to power?
Potable water.
Angel Morales

Clearly you've never seen an American starved of unwaveted Internet access. Do you not understand how entitled these millenials are getting?

Your timeline from a century ago sure showed him.
Jayden Brooks
AT&T and Verizon already do the server side super cookie double dip thing. I guess I'm more interested in what happens to the Internet if zero rating becomes more common. Would it rebuild a version of the old big three television networks?

Noah Nguyen
BU-BUT Sup Forums TOLD ME TRUMP WOULD FIGHT CORPORATE WELFARE!
Jack Anderson
We had this discussion before Trump. >Pro-Net Neutrality Have fun with government censored internet >Anti-Net Neutrality Have fun with corporation censored internet
Either way the ISP won't do shit to improve their service unless strictly forced.
Tyler Jones
>Comcast will be able to charge Netflix for using 70% of their bandwidth.
They can also charge the consumer more, which they will, because all traffic is no longer equal
Luke Gray
Just a reminder:
If net neutrality goes, this site goes.
Aaron Hall
Small price to pay, just think of all those billions Trump's Jewish buddies will earn!
Dominic Martinez
Nah. You'll just see more people being degenerate in public instead.
Liam Reyes
Do you like the way the Internet is right now? Then you like net neutrality
Evan Parker

Justin Hall

Connor Martinez
I no joke believe that if this site was destroyed under such circumstances, a lot of the people responsible would be killed in retaliation.
Carson Sanders
Small price to pay for no more mudslimes.
Jonathan Howard
>unaware Trump is deregulating banking and appointing Goldman Sachs people to his cabinet (and GS stock is skyrocketing)
James Scott
Hey guys, what do you suppose would happen to all your favorite alt-right sites if big corporations suddenly had the power to throttle certain sites?
Wyatt Flores
Yes the silent wrath of Sup Forums autists in their basements will spawn a demon that will destroy the corporations.
Luke Ward
Im praying to God that during the tech meeting with Trump all of the tech figureheads told him how important it is to keep net neutrality. Net neutrality is one of the very few things I agreed with Obama on. We cannot let this get into the hands of the cuckservatives.
David Powell
Oh I'm well aware. He also canceled his war on lobbyists today.
Christopher Evans
His son is very good with cyber, no worries.
Matthew Johnson
Sup Forums would no longer exist. No ISP would want to support Sup Forums.
You can kiss your shitposting and free porn goodbye.

hilarious.
Trump pretends to be populist. Dumb fucking retards believe him, despite ALL THE EVIDENCE FROM HIS ENTIRE LIFE AND CAREER.
You dumbshits got conned. Hard. Just wait and see what else he does. This is gonna be hilarious.

Caleb Brown

You don't even know wtf you're typing. Stop using buzzwords you clueless trumpcuck
Dylan Jackson
>would want to support That's not how it works. It's basically allowing for ISPs to put everyone who don't pay behind their shitty old 10mbit gear that should have been removed 20 years ago. They'll still have to allow all traffic.
Hunter Johnson
>They'll still have to allow all traffic.
WRONG
Cooper Russell
>being this butthurt that someone called you out on your shit It's ok burnout, you lost, you're hurt, and you wish you could be relevant, but you aren't. First step is acceptance, accept that you're a fucking retard and that our country picked the obviously superior leader.
William Hernandez

Provided you're not a proxy, you know you're gonna be affected by this, too?

thank god, then I would finally be free
Nathaniel Gonzalez
I can tell you weren't around for last time net neutrality was up for debate.

I can tell you are one naive person. The 'net' effect will be for all those smaller sites to disappear.

I see no problem with that
Kevin Kelly
Andras is a bro for this, get to know him, BUT DON"T FUCK UP THE SUMMONING CIRCLE
Colton Bell
Yeah those posts are completely specious.
Disney will be thrilled with the new arrangement, and won't go all litigious if a few d/ls go through.
David Thompson
Yeah, and then the bigger corporation would buy out the smaller one.
Free markets would eventually lead to corporate tyranny. Once one company gets on top it starts buying out the smaller ones, making a conglomerate that would eventually own everything.
Adrian Robinson

Noah Barnes
Fucking with the internet will ensure Trump doesn't get reelected, and probably kill the GOP for good. Is there anything people love more than the internet?
Thomas Garcia
Do you want your local municipalities taxing internet traffic however the fuck they want? Because that's what you get when ISP's are classified as utilities you stupid kike.
What should be deregulated is the franchise agreements on the fucking lines themselves, not more bullshit regulations covering bullshit regulations. Jesus.
Christopher Turner
Another Idiot Trump voter that has no clue what net neutrality actually is. Stop getting your news from Breitbart, InfoWars and FoxNews user.
Jonathan Fisher
HEY I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTAND OF NET NEUTRALITY
GUBMINT BAD AND GETTING RID OF IT AND HANDING IT OVER TO COMCAST IS GOOD FOR AVERAGE JOES LIKE ME
