What´s net neutrality?
I stopped my jerk of session becausse of this shit

Do you mean as a concept? Are you asking me what the word neutrality means? Are you retarded? They are making the net more neutral that isn't a bad thing.

no I mean the Team Cable thing going on, I need a red phil on that

Net neutrality is the principal of ISPs treating all internet traffic the same. Whats happening now in the US is ISPs are given the green light by the FCC to prioritise certain traffic over others. For example your isp was given a boat load of money by netflix to make any traffic going to or from their website top priority over say HBO Go. Thats a really simple example, but the implications are bad for a free and open internet

so it's a good thing?

I see, thanks sempai

Its the internet as is, without net neutrality the internet would look like this.

Obviously since its a government regulation, most republicans just mindlessly hate it.

This picture shows what the internet would look like without it.

Yes if there were no net nutrality you would essentially have a two tier internet where certain services work great and others not so much. Imagine the internet is the Autobaun. Three lanes are for traffic that is paid for and there are no limits on speed and everything else is confined to one lane

Yes, net neutrality is a good thing.
The ultimate worst case is an isp provider flat out refusing to allow access to certain sites. We're a long way from that but it's the eventual end game. Time warner would have some internet and cox cable would have some internet the same and some different and long story short this shit is about piracy.

Yeah to a certain point it is, but its mostly about making the most money possible for the service

Is it safe to say that without net neutrality, internet services would look like cable? That's the easiest way to describe it?

To a certain extent yes but it goes much further beyond that

Basically, retards elected a retard who put a retard in charge of your internet.

It's a jewish plot to turn you gay.

basically tech illiterate boomers are fucking things up for us again.

"BUT ITS BIG GUBMINT REGULATION"

these people are a fucking plague.

Which i find rather odd...its not like the head of the FCC is some crusty old bastard. Hes a young dude and an indian at that. You'd think he would be all about net neutrality

i's the current law and ideaolgy that no ISPs have the right to favour any particular websites or type of traffic.

For a very dumbed down example, say you had a very conservative leaning ISP, it is currently illegal for them to make conn ections to Fox News super fast while throttling connections to CNN, for example

he's gonna make a lot of money from this. Republicans are ok with selling out Americans if they can get a sweet, six-figure paycheck.

Exactly. I could absolutely see internet becoming like cable if net neutrality goes away. You could end up having to buy the "social media package" which gives you access to twitter, facebook, instagram, etc., then buy the "streaming package" with youtube, netflix, hulu, etc. That is pretty damn terrifying to think about.

You would think that there would be some sort of conflict of interest law surrounding that. Oh the hilarity of us politics

Makes me glad i dont live in the usa

But I'm already paying $80 for 150mb down and a 400gn data cap. Time to pay a visit to the FCC I guess.

Bring a friend or 10 000. Your gonna need the back up for sure

So are there any Trump voters here at all? Do any of them think negatively of NN?

yall voted for this

I doubt they are able to understand the implications of it

When they can't watch their BLACKED porn for free and have to start paying extra for porn subscriptions they will understand quickly.

Net Neutrality has so much more to it than just internet speeds and "Fast lanes"

I am not joking but i have actually talked with Tom Wheeler about this because cyber security and govt work is what i do. The "average users" ( US ) are not the ones that should be too terribly worried.
The ISP's will probably be dicks for a while but it won't be much different than it already is.

If net neutrality completely does go away, the broadcasters like NBC / Fox / CBS etc.. are the ones that are going to get FUCKED with the way broadcast rights get lumped into other parts ofo the laws etc..etc.. all that 800 pages of fine print that people don't read.

Yeah, im not so sure about that

Those companies are already taking a big hit with rapidly declining cable viewership
