Net Neutrality

Sure this meme may be slightly cringy but we still need to protect net Neutrality no matter what side on the political spectrum you're on,we need to keep it! Or we'll start paying to go websites like Sup Forums and many others.

Hello Zuckerberg

Net Neutrality didn't exist before 2015 and none of the dystopian bullshit libtards are scaremonging with ever happened.

Germany has Net Neutrality and they block thousands of conservative websites.

Net Neutrality takes the control of the internet away from multiple competing private companies and gives it to the government.

Confirmed to support net neutrality: Obama, Clinton, Soros, Microsoft, Google, Reddit, Facebook. Really makes you think.

Even Comcast supports net neutrality (because it hurts small competitors), unlike what leftist shills will have you believe.

Soros wants net neutrality because it's easier to bribe one government official to censor anything he doesn't like.

Otherwise he has to bribe >20 ISP's in the United States and it just takes one to not be interested for his plan to fail.

Good luck, the jews are at full force right now

>le will have to pay for Sup Forums
You are a fucking retard. Sup Forums is text and a few images. It's probably the cheapest website in the top 500.

Why would net neutrality hurt smaller companies?

FCC chair talking about how regulations are hijacked by large companies to destroy competition and new entrants into the field.

No Net Neutrality!

NN is a meme being used to distract us. (((They))) win either way. The fuck are we going to do, boycott the internet?

More regulations and because you can't optimize traffic, which is critical if you don't have massive infrastructure. It will be impossible for new companies to pop up and grow slowly and improve their service as they grow. You either enter the market being able to provide for everything, or you don't enter it.

Costs a lot to comply with regulations.

(((weird)))

>Keep it weird

God, that brings me back.

Trusting the govt with anything right now, nah nigga, nah.
They are trying to ship ICANN over to the UN already, fuck them.

what you just said is fucking retarded

Please note how every bill the government passes does the opposite of what it's title states it will do. Patriot act. Net neutrality.

The golden age of the internet is officially dying. Our choices are government regulation or private ownership, when before no one knew there was anything there. Either way, the internet can't go back to just "existing" and being weird

please go back to your kekistani fag containment zone

Well ISP would prioritize whichever company pays more. not necessarily smaller companies.

Favouring different connections over any other ones. Example for non-Premium Users get the shit of the stick

In lost profits maybe. but ISPs are making good enough money anyway.

...

>Shrink kikes revenue
>force them to make pay per content
>Stop consuming said content because not gone pay
>lose grip on a big chunk of populations data
>lose advertisers
>lose more Shekel
The goy wins.

If there is a cheaper competitior, they will get the company's business then.

You get what you pay for.

Agreed.

...

Not when the company owns all the infrastructure. and cant afford to rent it from competitors

No you don't. You pay for what you get, or you get nothing. That's being held hostage, not freedom.

Jesus Christ - the point is that smaller companies can't afford to comply and go out of business - that's why large isps are lobbying so hard for net neutrality.

And prices will raise for all of us because of your retarded "muh free market"

Net neutrality prevents newcomers from building their own infrastructure - why google is having trouble laying google fiber in areas where old isps already have infrastructure.

The majority of people are in favor of Net Neutrality. How are all ISPs supporting it. And as ive said the small companies dont own the infrastructure.

Do you realize without these companies you wouldn't be using the fucking internet at all right now?

The internet doesn't rely on ISPs. ISPs rely on the internet.

Then change net neutrality law but dont abolish it.

Well you cant rip up infrastructure. I cant see a small mom and pop business paying for the permission to law miles of data cables.

This is completely illogical. In a market - prices are much cheaper because there are many people competing to provide the service.

Ah, that company sounds very much like the company called "The US Government"

Posting pictures without text is not an argument.

This. They provide a service and want to fuck us over because of the power they have. Ultimately freedom for companies to do as they police will result in people being fucked up. Look at china and india.

More like Suckaturd

Most people are fucking stupid and don't read beyond the title of the bill. If you read the bill and look at who supports it, you'd realize that you're getting shafted.

Please inform me as to how you plan on accessing the internet without one.

And whats wrong with the government owning vital utilities. Companies will fuck us over given the chance for a quick buck.

You're the only one who seems to think providers would stop existing somehow.

Absolutely worthless contribution to the topic. Just call him a retard while providing no facts or evidence to support your argument. You should seriously consider suicide.

It's not a coincidence that the internet has been the most prosperous area of the economy for three decades and the least regulated. The organic growth is the result of politicians not stealing the wealth. They are trying mightily to change that.

At least the government is accountable.

if beta cucks and sjws are reeeeeee reeeeeeeeeing for net neutrality then it has to be bad

Because we want all data to be treated the same. Net Neutrality has to be in affect otherwise companies will charge more for their services. This regulation needs to stay, keep in mind net neutrality didn't stunt the growth of the internet.

Government isn't sensitive to market demands and thus provides terrible service and doesn't innovate. The government granted Bell telephone a monopoly in the us (govt corporate collusion like nn) and telephones in the us didn't change at all from 1950 - 1980 until technological advances made the monopoly irrelevant.

This is the logic of libtards on this board.

They wouldn't. The market would be open to more new companies and innovation - prices would go down. Both business and consumers would benefit.

>Sup Forums never existed before 2010

Troll?

What the fuck brought this up today? Seriously, there's been dozens of these threads. Is it (((MSM))) coming here creating these to say, "look! Even Sup Forums thinks X!!!11"?

Correctum.

>Lost profits
You're a complete dipshit if you think it's not gonna be rate hikes, both for compliance costs and the hidden tax used to fund federal enforcement.
This shit is always, always passed to the consumer. Internet service is the only thing you can currently purchase without regulations being 80% of the cost that shows up on your bill.

How do you figure?

this

The new Trump appointee for FCC chairman, Ajit Pai is /ourguy/. He's going to roll back the FCC changes obama put in that fucked up the internet. Details of Pai's proposal and a link to a feedback form are here: fcc.gov/restoring-internet-freedom

Agree

how did obama fuck up the internet?

He was pointing out that there was no argument to respond to you stupid piece of shit.

FCC chairman is trying to get a large chunk of nn legislation repealed (title 2).

Redpill me on why we dont need it. The market will be booming and you degenerates will read a book or go outside instead of playing games or watching muh anime

Good joke.

Private companies are accountable;le because if they fuck up people can just leave and get another service, thus tanking their revenue and forcing them to change practices.

For government the equivalent is literally moving to another country.

No.

I bet people who think Rick and Morty is the epitome of humor love NN.

Wouldn't be surprised.

You are fake news

Companies depend on internet service to do business. They have no way to just get up and move to another provider. In many cases, there are no other providers with the infrastructure they need. What you're suggesting is the same thing as saying "move to another country". It's not realistic or even possible for most people.

Net Neutrality is a thing. To my knowledge rates didnt take a huge hike when it was implemented. Not abolishing it wont change rates otherwise it would have happened already. "Hidden tax" explain. because net neutrality laws exist. The internet has made huge leaps in progress.

ISPs do not have the right to perform deep packet inspection and violate your privacy to charge you more for the same amount data.

How ironic.

That's not an argument either.

If you have an open market - people charging unfair prices will lose business to newcomers or business that are charging better prices.

Yeah probably.

What?

What is a monopoly?

Small companies do not have the power to charge lower prices if they dont own infrastructure.

the government
>suddenly you arent against monopoly

We have a winner.

>Even Comcast supports net neutrality
In word, yes. Not in action.

Sup Forums doesn't deserve to be free. same with porn and any form of real degeneracy. you dumbass kids need to go outside and play. and pedophiles don't need a safe haven. you realize that by defending this stupid bullshit you are allowing pedohiles to continue to operate, you are allowing the distrupution of CP on boards like Sup Forums and people are allowed to view if for free without real reprecusion. you are allowing terrorist orginizations, killers, rapists and anyone like minded to have a place to discuss things for free. these things are not good things, in the sense that they do not benefit anyone trying to strive for better. fuck your free internet bullshit. and you don't deserve to have free games and music and movies. people work hard to make those and you just dont give a shit. SAGE

Enforcement takes a while. Bill takes a while to take effect. Economic collapse takes a while. NN changed internet regulatory authority from FTC to FCC - they needed to build regulatory infrastructure from scratch.

>from the fcc article i linked to earlier
"From passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 until 2015, the Internet underwent rapid, and unprecedented, growth. Internet service providers (ISPs) invested approximately $1.5 trillion in building networks, and American consumers enthusiastically responded. The Internet became an ever-increasing part of the American economy, offering new and innovative changes in how we work, learn, and play, receive health care, create and enjoy entertainment, and communicate with one another. During that time, there was bipartisan agreement that the Internet should be free of burdensome regulation so that it could continue to flourish.

Two years ago, the FCC abruptly changed course. On a party-line vote, the FCC applied 1930s-era utility-style regulation ("Title II") to the Internet. That decision appears to have put at risk online investment and innovation, threatening the very open Internet it purported to preserve. Requiring ISPs to divert resources to comply with unnecessary and broad new regulatory requirements threatens to take away from their ability to make investments that benefit consumers. The lack of clarity around what Title II requires ISPs to do further appears to harm investment and have particularly harmful effects on small ISPs."

Net Neutrality will fuck Sup Forums over, and free speech as a whole.
>b-but it doesnt work! People still get blocked all the time!
Netflix. Discord. All competition will be completely decided by the ISPs. That is indesputable.
>b-but free market!

ISPs are not giants to competition. They are Titans. They have all the money, broad coverage, infrastructure and people know of them. Any competition that arises will have little to no chance.

>They have no way to just get up and move to another provider.

Yes they do. For example, say someone is running a webshow and their internet is constantly shitting out because their company's upload speeds suck. They always have the option of changing companies or switching to fiber optic, it isn't prohibitive.

For a government example, say it's the same thing, but instead of the internet itself it's their power that's always cutting off because the infrastructure in the area is terrible. That person doesn't really have any option at all except to up sticks and move areas to somewhere with more consistent electricity, they can't change to a different electric company.

Because the people choose the government.

I don't want freedom, the post.

I sure do love a good strawman.

You need to seriously kill yourself and save the world from another fucking one of your opinions.

This. I love you

ill sacrifice my freedom for the sake of others

Dont feed trolls moron

Forced to use the government.

ITT meme flags

How could this happen to America, the land of the (free) ?

No they don't. It's too expensive in terms of both money and time for most companies, and furthermore 90% of the country is underdeveloped and does not provide alternative service options capable of supporting the infrastructure that businesses need.

what strawman? you must be new if you've never witnessed CP on Sup Forums before. been happening since I discovers this shithole back in 08
pirating music, movies, and games is a strawman? I'm pretty sure the majority of users here are neets with computers. tell me what my strawman is

What you on about?
