>We've noted repeatedly how Trump's incoming telecom advisors have made it very clear they not only want to gut net neutrality, but defund and defang the FCC. That means rolling back all manner of other recent FCC policies, like the agency's recently approved broadband privacy rules. They really were relatively fundamental; simply requiring that ISPs not only make it clear what's being collected and who it's being sold to, but requiring they provide working opt-out tools to broadband subscribers.
>ISPs and the advertising and marketing industry are already getting a running start on rolling back these new privacy rules. In a joint filing by all of the major advertising lobbying and trade associations, the advertising industry this week was quick to submit a petition to the FCC claiming that the new rules aren't necessary because the marketing sector already adheres to a "self-regulatory" regime that delivers all the transparency, choice and benefits that consumers could possibly handle.
>The FCC imposed rules specifically thanks to the lack of competition in the broadband last mile, a lack of competition that lets ISPs and advertisers impose draconian new consumer surveillance policies the consumer can't vote to avoid with their wallet. The FCC was particularly nudged to action by the discovery that Verizon and its ad partners were covertly modifying user packets to track users around the internet.
>At no point did industry, or any of its self-regulatory apparatuses, stop and think they'd taken things a bit too far, which is why the FCC, agree or not, felt it was necessary to lend consumers a hand. The FCC was also concerned about a growing push by some ISPs to make opting out of data collection a pricey, luxury option for consumers, "self-regulatory safeguards" be damned.
>They really were relatively fundamental; simply requiring that ISPs not only make it clear what's being collected and who it's being sold to,
So why aren't Google/MS/Apple and other companies forced to do the same?

Privacy is dead; get over it.

We needed more, but instead of more we're gonna get even less...
Ryder Martin
>simply requiring that ISPs not only make it clear what's being collected and who it's being sold to, but requiring they provide working opt-out tools to broadband subscribers. why does this matter within the context of the internet as a whole
every single website you visit collects every bit of information they can glean from you and then whores it out to the highest bidder constantly
Samuel White
I don't see anything concrete in this article about Trump's position on anything. It's just basically a what-if type of mental masturbation for liberals. All hearsay and not a single fact.
Carson Thompson
Because ISPs can identify you. They know your address and billing info.
Not saying websites should be allowed to do that, but priorities...
David Fisher
>Because ISPs can identify you. They know your address and billing info.
So do Paypal/Amazon/Google and pretty much any company you buy something from.
Christian Anderson
considering that the majority of people stay logged into facebook 24/7, combined with IP geolocation, there aren't many websites that can't identify roughly who/where you are
also see the companies that directly sell you shit already know who you are
Nolan Jenkins
But that's your decision, as retarded as it sounds

Oh, come on. You actually think that even if Trump had the awareness to know what net neutrality is, or the inclination to care, that he would actually take a stand for it—and not just agree with all the corporate stooge Republicans he's surrounded himself with?
It is to laugh, sir.

If all these masturbatory "what-if" scenarios actually play out, I think we'll have bigger problems than advertisers collecting your information.

It takes a halfbreed to not understand that humans don't live the way they did in the past. Nowadays we have this thing called "society" that you have to take part in. Once you move out of your parent's house you'll realize that food and shelter aren't handed to you.

hey Sup Forums I have a bit of a problem, i know asking tech questions here is frowned apon but dno what else to do. i have a 2 moniter setup and use pic related as a 2nd moniter. both are connected to my gtx580 (yes i know its shit)
and have had no issues before but today out of nowhere the one moniter (pic related) starts not working. the on light just sits there blinking. but no picture. ive tried changing the cords, plugging the different moniters into the different gpu slots, i even connected the samsung to a different computer and it does the same thing.
does this mean its fried or broken? any other things I could try to fix it? thanks :)

You're right. Cable companies rate limiting Netflix because they want you to buy their crappy cable TV service is fine.

Benjamin Gomez
Ummm... because Netflix isn't overcharging me due to lack of competition or hijacking my DNS queries to serve me ads?

There's usually at least 2, and then you can make it 6 if you count mobile ISP's.

Netflix charges you extra money if you want to use HD.
And even if you DO pay the extra money, Netflix will NOT allow you to stream in HD/4k unless it's an "approved" device, that's why Chinese boxes can't do HD netflix even though are more than capable.
Netflix, enemy of you're freedom.
Daniel Rogers
>They just would like Netflix to pay when they use up to 80% of the bandwidth in peak hours. The customers are already paying for bandwidth. Can the network not guarantee the bandwidth they state? Maybe they should adjust their prices if it's a problem (it isn't).

They should take some of their revenue and upgrade their infrastructure to actually deliver what they promise to subscribers.
By your logic electric companies should charge light bulb companies extra because they cause more load at night.

nice graph labels fuckface
if you only look at 2009 forward for each of those graphs, you see that obama made the country a lot better. and trump is going to crash the growing, stable economy he inherits.
Brody Diaz
That's a red herring.
No one here's defending Netflix. You, on the other hand, are ACTUALLY defending ISPs.
Sure, Netflix is bad (see stallman.org/netflix.html), but it's not a priority because there's competition and it's not a must-have service.
Austin Rodriguez
They keep raising their rates, so they will become a huge monopoly one day just like all the rest of them with corporate cocksuckers like you giving them free shit all along the way. You think NF is your friend or something?
Isaiah Campbell
If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about right?
Ethan Turner
I am.
Even by the FCC's own admission, something like 70% of households have at least 2 options for broadband.
Also why are you dismissing mobile ISP's if that's all the average person would need to email/job find ?
John Parker
>They keep raising their rates, so they will become a huge monopoly one day just like all the rest of them with corporate cocksuckers like you giving them free shit all along the way. You think NF is your friend or something? Since when is raising rates equivalent to becoming a monopoly? Netflix growth is already leveling off. And you still didn't answer my fucking question. Why does the same bandwidth need to be charged twice? ISPs are fucking jews.
Brandon Hill

You sound increasingly bizarre Says the one making up shit In spite of Obama. All he did was double the national debt and put more people on welfare than at any time in history. We have to pay the trillions he put on our credit card sometime, so yes he royally fucked the next guy down the line.

trump is already planning a trillion dollar infrastructure bill that will mostly be kickbacks to his friends
obama's spending caused the economy to recover. trump's spending is going to crash the economy. trump made a lot of money off the 2008 crashes and he intends to do it again.
Nicholas Hall
>Even by the FCC's own admission, something like 70% of households have at least 2 options for broadband.
Yeah. a shitty cable company and an even shittier DSL provider both of which see no real consequences if their service sucks.

Bullshit $15 per gigabyte data caps.
