1. The internet as we know it would die when the FCC repealed government regulated net neutrality.
2. Meltdown and Spectre would affect the average user in any noticeable way.

Small ISPs and competition are hurt by net neutrality.
>Mark Jen, the chief technical officer of a small internet provider named Common, which was founded last year by a group of former Square employees, said that complying with net neutrality doesn’t require any work.
>“The default configuration of all of the [networking] equipment is to [follow net neutrality],” Jen says. “While net neutrality sounds like rules and regulations, it’s actually just saying everybody has to run stuff in the default mode, which is as fast as possible and great for everybody.”
>Rudy Rucker, co-founder of another small wireless internet provider named Monkeybrains, said his company hadn’t encountered any difficulties either. “Maybe there’s something I’m missing,” he said, “but it’s not bogging us down.”
>Small ISPs haven’t received the never-ending complaints some have feared.
>Peggy Dolgenos, the co-founder and co-CEO of an ISP named Cruzio, said her company has been rapidly improving its equipment. “We’ve been upgrading our infrastructure as fast as we can,” she says. Her company currently has 35 employees and serves about 9,000 customers. “We’ve been investing like crazy. We’re about to invest in a really big local project to install fiber optic cable in our downtown.”
>Many smaller ISPs said they saw net neutrality as an advantage for their business, too. “If you’re looking at what companies will get paid by big providers like Netflix, it’s not smaller ISPs, it’s large ISPs who already have practically a monopoly position,” Dolgenos says. “They’ll just cement their position, and it’ll just crush competition.”
>Over 40 small ISPs wrote their own letter to the FCC last month requesting that net neutrality stay in place: eff.org

I've never understood why people think that not prioritizing traffic requires effort from an ISP.
Julian Peterson
What's the lie? That he's holding Obama's 332-page plan to regulate the internet? That Obama made a 332-page plan to regulate the internet? That he wishes the public could see what's inside Obama's 332-page plan to regulate the internet? That he wishes the public could see what's inside the thing he holds that he calls Obama's 332-page plan to regulate the internet?

Net neutrality is a measure to ensure a free market by forbidding artificially fabricated scarcity by ISPs.

No, ISPs will be allowed to kill the internet without net neutrality. They'll do it if they think it will turn them a profit, but that doesn't mean they do it immediately.
Oliver Perry
Net neutrality is a tech issue. If you're for or against it for political reasons, whatever they may be, then you're plainly wrong and retarded.
Adrian Adams

Benjamin Sullivan
Only reason they haven't done much yet is because there are several lawsuits going on about reverting the repeal.
Kevin Brown
That is the Muslim My Kampf version.
Hudson Jenkins
There's a few states looking to enact their own laws regarding net neutrality as well.
Matthew Bailey
Under Pai's ruling they can't though.
Henry Martinez
Net Neutrality is a bandaid, how about stopping government from picking who can setup cable lines from who pays more
Luis Rodriguez
>1. The internet as we know it would die when the FCC repealed government regulated net neutrality.
Amen to this. I do nothing but smoke crack and cigarettes and eat jars of mayonaisse all day and I haven't died. Any bad effect that only acts slowly and isn't immediately obvious to a layperson doesn't actually exist. And it ESPECIALLY doesn't exist if there is a short-term effect that feels good -- as things like "free uncapped mobile data for youtube/netflix" and "your life problems feel insignificant after smoking crack" are!
Jose Lopez
Montana is requiring all ISPs in their state to follow net neutrality or they will not be allowed to do business in their state. They also created a template so other states can adopt the same policy and you can bet a lot of democratic states will.
California is defying the FCC and enacting their own NN laws anyway

NN is part of a healthy internet. Competition between ISPs is another part (probably a more important part). The government should seize the infrastructure (tax paid for it anyway) and allow all ISPs on.
Mason Myers
>The government should seize
good sheep
Blake Anderson
Everyone's a sheep. I actually arrived at that conclusion through my own intellect. It's the best method to reach the goals I formulated. My goals were based on cultural influences, just like everyone else's.

That revoking net neutrality would affect the end consumer at all. It's scary what happens when media companies like Google and Facebook want you to think something.

let me guess, you think global warming is a hoax too, right?
Robert Ward
>free uncapped mobile data for youtube/netflix
You mean Zero-rating, which is 100% allowed under US AND the European Union NN laws?
Juan Roberts
Global warming IS a hoax though, only Americans believe it. No one in civilised countries does.
Brandon Gonzalez

Adrian Ross
Everything the USA does, trickles down to your shithhole countries.
You really dont understand how many things are hosted in the USA, do you?
Why would we prioritized international traffic when we can throw you on to the low priority lane and you get 50 kbps, while the USA gets the main pipes?
Easton Johnson

If that were the case, Euro nations wouldn't have highly censored internet.

Sure thing buddy
Jason Cook
No, I wasn't pretending. Still ez (you)s.
Xavier Moore
Yes, its the perfect example of an erosion to NN that already existed because the short-term benefit is immediate and much easier to understand than the long-term detriment.
Adrian Anderson
You've got it the wrong way round famalam, the rest of the civilised world accepted global warming in the 80s. The US and the rest of the third world are only now starting to accept it.
Cooper Perez
Well, they don't so whats your point?
Joshua Scott
This is what happens when you let the government regulate anything.
You open up a can of worms, meanwhile the administration flip-flops on the criteria of regulation, as the regulations get more complicated and more extreme in either direction.
Thomas Rogers
He's probably talking about the "Youth gets arrested for racist remarks on twitter" aspect of European countries.
Jose Peterson
does it not occur to you that free access to these services is also a long term benefit to a lot of people that have a hard time paying for a more complete internet service, which would cost more without the "erosions" to NN you hate?
William Howard
Yes, Euros can be arrested for posting opinions on Twitter.
They also do in fact have heavily censored internet which is why you can't TPB or other torrent sites on many Euro ISP's. They also censor "hate" websites and videos on YT.
Isaiah Torres
oh no the internet is dead now. so when does it officially shutting down? I heard the FCC was launches missiles at satellites soon but I couldn't find a date
Justin Watson
This guy gets it. The only libertarian position is being pro-NN.
Hudson Cruz

Aaron Diaz
except that pro-NN has been redefined to mean pro government control of the internet
Lucas Bailey

"Natural monopolies"
Yes.... it's so easy to have a "Natural monopoly" when the city council of your given city literally declares you are the only company allowed to offer cable/internet within city limits.

Yes, regulations are sometimes needed to ensure a fair and competitive market. What's more important: Comcast's freedom to abuse their monopoly or the freedom for anyone to enter and compete in the market and the freedom of consumers to choose the best product for the lowest price?

No it isn't a tech issue. Wether the government woiuld allow certain businesses to be run freely or not is not a tech issue
Nathaniel Butler
Literally pic related but instead of "fire my workers" read "deliberately congestion your traffic in order to extort more money from you".
Jack James
>does it not occur to you that free access to these services is also a long term benefit to a lot of people that have a hard time paying for...
It did but I correctly identified that as a short-term benefit. You will not have the innovative competing services that would have more effectively improved those peoples lives and indeed the market as a whole. Even with a cheaper and superior product, most will fail against zero-rated competitors before they become large enough to pay for zero-rating themselves.
I stand behind my statement - laypeople do not understand the long-term detriment and instead focus on the short-term benefits. It's a pattern as old as humanity itself.

Ayden Hall

This. We'll be just fine in blue states who enforce local NN laws while the Trumpledytes get nickle and dimed off the internet in red states. Everything turned out better than expected.
