>The proposal, put forward by the F.C.C. chairman, Ajit Pai, is a sweeping repeal of rules put in place by the Obama administration. The rules prohibited high-speed internet service providers from blocking or slowing down the delivery of websites, or charging extra fees for the best quality of streaming and other internet services for their subscribers. Those limits are central to the concept called net neutrality.
>The action immediately reignited a loud and furious fight over free speech and the control of the internet, pitting telecom giants like AT&T against internet giants like Google and Amazon, who warn against powerful telecom gatekeepers. Both sides are expected to lobby hard in Washington to push their agendas, as they did when the existing rules were adopted.
>“Under my proposal, the federal government will stop micromanaging the internet,” Mr. Pai said in a statement. “Instead, the F.C.C. would simply require internet service providers to be transparent about their practices so that consumers can buy the service plan that’s best for them and entrepreneurs and other small businesses can have the technical information they need to innovate.”
How do you think this is going to affect video games? >charge services to stream faster >have to pay fees to connect to servers >websites being behind a paywall
who fucking cares? This is genuinely only going to affect specific sites with large traffic volumes and stupid visitors. Video game related shit will not be touched

You're seriously stupid if you think this won't affect video games. This has the potential to turn into the most slippery slope you've ever seen.
Grayson Richardson
I'm glad that we're finally getting rid of the archaic Obama era REGULATIONS that kept us from having a free and open internet and let the government control the internet.
Based Trump just keeps winning!

It will probably be just like it was in all the years before net neutrality. As in, exactly the same. ISPs don't actually want to piss of their customers openly, they want to strong-arm corporations like Google into playing ball behind the scenes and Google would prefer for others to have zero leverage over them. This is strictly a matter of corporate interest vs corporate interest. Consumers are going to get fucked by someone regardless.

Dumbass, Net Neutrality was instated during Obama's term. Trump put Pai on the FCC when he poured his brand of swamp into the government and that's who's trying to repeal it, because he's demonstrably in the pocket of the cable monopolies.

THANK YOU!!!
Finally an article that tells it how it is without the liberal propaganda being perpetuated by the biased far-left media! We need more reputable sources like the Wall Street Journal to really help us shape the internet into what our country and people need.

When liberals are so mad they go to Sup Forums to bring up politics. When liberals are so mad they call Republicans Nazi for more than a year, then demand the Nazi to work with them to stop the FCC.

I lived in the Philippines for 7 months. The Philippines does not have Net Neutrality.
Most people don't know this, but in the 3rd world Facebook is massive. Few people have PCs or Laptops, everyone has cellphones, and Facebook is the king of mobile. Every store, every service, every person has a Facebook page.
Facebook's largest competitor is Google, and the Filipino government is easily bribed. There is one ISP/Mobile Carrier in Manila, and that ISP has contracts with Facebook. For a mere 5 pesos a month (1 cent), you can get an online data plan with 100% free access to Facebook and only Facebook. Getting a full data plan costs a first-world amount of money few people can afford. Because of this, no one in the Philippines has any incentive to build their own website. No one can access it. No one would know how. They just use Facebook.
It goes beyond that. I paid $70 USD (3500PHP) for 50Mbps Internet (6MBps). If I accessed Gmail, Google, YouTube, Google Docs, etc, my Internet would slow to a crawl. It would take 45 seconds to open Google. Videos would stutter. Facebook? Instantly. Switch to my VPN and hide my connections's source/destination, Google loads instantly again. Faster to connect to Sweden and then to Swedish Google than it is to connect to Filipino Google from the Philippines.
This is specifically what Net Neutrality is designed to protect against. It is not fiction. It is not slippery slope. It already exists.

Thats the only ! argument you hear on Sup Forums from people defending the act of killing Net Neutrality.

Jose Garcia
Unironically kill yourself. It was Obama who destroyed the open internet as we know it, Trump and Ajit Pai will shape the internet into the free market our country is known for. The internet has always needed structure, the way things run now is dangerous and unsustainable.
Adrian Price
Okay so I'm stocking up on games. Got 6TB HDD filled with downloads. Hopefully it will be enough to keep me occupied until I can move out of this police state controlled mega corporation country.
