What are the pros and cons of Trump ending Net Neutrality? Will we be worse or better off?
From what I've heard, it'll turn internet plans into TV plans, where you have to pay extra to access more sites, such as YouTube, Steam, Facebook, etc.

oh stop, net neutrality is going to be replaced by a fairness policy.

Losing net neutrality will gut and bruise the creativity and 'even playing field' of the internet.
It'll just become another content medium for established businesses, while leaving independent creators in the dark.
Nathaniel Foster
Net neutrality has never existed, and it has literally never been a problem.
Forcing torrents to run at the same speed as Sup Forums isn't going to help anybody.
Hunter Powell
opened the door for profiteering
hopefully this will draw more competitors into the space to reduce prices
but then again laying cables is expensive
so probably the market will consolidate into a few big players that will then act like a cartel and drive up prices

She ha to go back.

Yeah, it'll die.
I personally won't give two fucks. I just feel sorry for the actual losers on this board that will lose all human contact forever. I'd imagine the suicide rate will increase as soon as that poo in loo takes the FCC chairmanship.

Different files download at different speeds.
Go and fucking test it you queer.

How bout every image hosting site except facebook and social media where you post with a real name and face and everything you post is recorded and kept forever under your name.
This will be a massive loss for freedom if the internet is controlled like facebook.
>muh internets

What makes you think the pres of the US can decide that?

Would either lead to the revolt of the neckbeards or gamestop being viable again.

will somebody even make an attempt to explain why losing neutrality will kill Sup Forums?
Worst case, we get a retarded cap of 30G a month and pay extra to get netflix/hulu/whatever exempted from the cap making it more difficult for upstarts who don't have access to be an exemption. These goddamn doomsayers have no idea how the internet works. Didn't have neutrality until like 3 years ago, getting rid of it isn't going to change anything.

except it will be a little more expensive.

What the fuck is net neutrality?

In Brazil we passed one of the first "Net neutrality laws". Not much longer after it, the law was used to ban Facebook and it's services (like Whatsapp) for a whole day, in order to pressure the company to give information to the government (information that they didn't had, but somewhow the law demanded it). Then they tried it again, twice. And basically everyone now in the country knows a thing or two about VPNs.
Also, udner this law, they pushed forward a "Anti hate speech" program on the internet, which basically targets anything that goes against the main narrative, and is a huge failure because of government is so incopetent that they can't even jew properly.
And the main argument pro-net neutrality, which was that companies would be prohibited from selling internet service like TV cables (where yo ubuy certain packages), or control your internet traffic, basically turned out to be a fucking lie. Companies still sell data for mobile, in which you buy an amount of data that you can use, while still selling internet connection and shoving down obligatory TV and phone lines down costumers, while trying to push new ~cool~ internet packages where you have limited data (like, 60GB) for your internet connection.
To put it in perspective, GTAV alone is basically 50GB, and the plans with more data are really expensive. They haven't implemented yet because popular pressure, people were on the verge or rioting against that shit.
So, yeah, don't fall for the "muh law of net neutrality" meme. True neutrality doesn't need fucking laws. We've been neutral for decades now, why mess with somethign that has been working perfectly fine until now?

Sort of an "everyone must be nice" idea bandied about by people who have no idea how networks function.
Usually a front for govt chicanery.

Not sorry that the word of a Brazilian means nothing to me.

your isp will not have to provide you with access to Sup Forums any longer. Sup Forums may be able to negotiate a deal or get put into some kind of add-on package for your service, or maybe not. either way, they are no longer required to give you access to the websites that you request access to, and can block or paywall literally anything they want.

you clearly have no idea what net neutrality is

Sorry if they aren't the best available, I'm just doing a quick search to find these for you. It's not like I follow brazilians news in english websites.
Also ,they recently used the Marco Civil to propose a law in which it would be required an ID to use the internet. You would have a literal login with your ID to basically connect. Fortunatelly it seems to have almost no strenght in the congress.
