Is this whole Net Neutrality thing going to mean that we can no longer use thepiratebay and streaming sites like letmewatchthis?

I'll just stop watching movies, I can live with that.

>implying there is anything worth pirating anymore
Like I want to see anymore capeshit

Yes.

You can also probably look forward to penalty rates being applied to attachments you download from e-mails if the company that owns that e-mail provider doesn't pony up for priority access or, worse, is owned by a competitor.

But it will all be OK, because something something invisible hand of the market something something based Trump something something the consumer protection agency that is currently pushing to eliminate consumer protections will suddenly turn around and start protecting consumers, just wait and see you guys.

>americans will be purged from the internet
can't wait

True

Dont worry, a big corporation said that it will not invade user's privacy. I'm sure you can trust that.

>ISPs around the world will jizz themselves and try to force this down the throats of everyone else, succeeding because the internet is being legislated by people one generation older than the ones who actually use it and don't understand what any of it actually means other than more donations from industry lobbies

Truly, the best timeline.

No. You can continue using the Internet just like you always have literally because of Net neutrality. It's a good thing. If you guys pass a law that allows ISPs to circumvent Net neutrality, then no also. They could throttle your torrents, but you could also just pay more money for a "neutral" service.

You're still a long way from Russia. Apparently this week they made private VPNs and all sorts of attempts to anonymize yourself on the Internet illegal.

>letmewatchthis
what is the correct address to this? i was using fmovies/bmovies or whatever it has become recently.

Bitch please. Continue to stream. Don't give pedowood and the CIA N***** your money. They don't deserve it.

>but you could also just pay more money for a "neutral" service.

Assuming any exist, because Pai is literally also trying to make them illegal.

The only mistake he made was going for NN before closing the market for ISPs. If he'd done that before the other it would have been a slam dunk.

I don't need movies and tv anymore. It's a big waste of time.

>americans are fucked

fucking loving this.

EDIT: Local ISPs, I mean.

He's trying to make it easier for Comcast/Verizon/etc to control the market, and there are areas with only one ISP and nobody else is allowed to compete by law. In those areas the ISP already jacks up the prices in exchange for shit service, because nobody has any other options.

Even if nothing happens now, it will eventually happen. Don't get used to the "internet is freedom" thing because it won't be eternal.

Don't trust online services and archive everything you can.

Wait. I haven't been keeping up with this. Did they get rid of net neutrality?

There are people who believe shit like this. There are people who trust these corporations, which exist purely for profit above all, to "defend" the user instead of seeking the maximum profit possible.

second

Maybe in the """"""""land of the free""""""""

>t. 56%

Unlike america, there are actual protections against shit like this around the world.

Enjoy your 10000% markup on your internet

>we've never done this thing and don't want to, pls to forget the time the consumer protection agency fucked our shit up for doing exactly this thing, also here is some money to change the law to make what we want to do legal mr. consumer protection agency head man

It's about to die. People who are paying attention are making noise about it, but they don't have anywhere near the votes or traction to make it stick.

Look at America though. They literally will vote for someone who will irrevocably fuck them. They love it.

>Unlike america, there are actual protections against shit like this around the world.

There are currently protections against it in the US, but those are about to be gutted because industry lobbyists control government policy.

The same situation is being played out elsewhere.

We have net neutrality and a public known torrent page.

It's a nice distraction from your own shitty, meaningless life eh Eurofag?

>his """""""first world""""""" country doesn't have net neutrality

The same situation is not being played out. The US had ZERO protections, they had title 2 pass a couple years back and thats all they had.

You just don't understand the politics of the majority of europe when it comes to consumer protections.

The companies are neutered and for a good reason. It isn't playing out anywhere else but in your head.

The best part about Trump is that not only is he beholden to the Defense, Real estate and big agro industries bec

>The US had ZERO protections

Then what is Ajit Pai attempting to repeal?

Oh, wait.

Fucking why though? What's different now then in 2015?

>Reading comprehension.

I literally state all you had was title 2 which was one amendment to a law that isn't ingrained.

it indeed is, not even lying

i also watch cuckold porn because it's always AMERICAN white women getting fucked by nignogs

>What's different now then in 2015?

Verizon didn't have a stooge running the show in 2015 and Obama knew how the internet worked.

Imagine being so insecure you spend your free time constantly thinking another country

>ameriturds will soon disappear from Sup Forums

feels GOOD man.

How does the internet work?

Remember what happened in Poland when retards tried to join ACTA?

youtube.com/watch?v=aQdMtSmkVBs

Not every nation is as braindead as burgers.

With a presumption of net neutrality.

The law was amended in 2015 because the ISPs wanted to pull this shit back then and were told to fuck off. They waited for the right moment and then pulled the trigger again.

>Sup Forums will soon disappear because most of its users are american and it doesn't make enough of a profit for gookmoot to be able to pay off one ISP to give it a usable speed, much less all of the ISPs

The bigger deal was when ICANN was handed over to the UN by Obummer, but nobody cared about that and called anyone who saw the risks of it a conspiracy theorist.

I don't think any of that is inherent to how the internet works. Seems to be a conflict of interests.

>i watch cuckold porn
Ah, that explains a lot.

Yeah but the courts have a precedent for upholding it. Pai wi'll have to argue as to why that precedent isn't valid now right?

what the fuck happened to this place...

the market will fix it

>Remember what happened in Poland
"No!"

>rent a server from some euro country for fuck all a month
>set up an encrypted vpn with it
>browse every single thing without restrictions or limits

...

How?

Fuck off marxist

>these are the kind of people that browse Sup Forums

always thought this was a meme to be desu

like its done for everything else, amiright?

people will pay for nice things, the merchant delivers

the absolute state of america

>wahhhhh d-dont hurt daddy trump
learn too argue

>Seems to be a conflict of interests.

Allow me to make an analogy.

Imagine a power company is owned by a conglomerate that also makes home appliances. They come up with the brilliant idea of charging anyone who is with them more money if they use any appliances made by a competing company in their house.

Prior to this, you just paid per kWh. Now you get penalised if you aren't a good little corporate drone.

But why the fuck should they be allowed to tell you how you should be using the power you paid for?

>Pai wi'll have to argue as to why that precedent isn't valid now right?

His argument is that it's preventing capitalism from taking place and that the companies totally won't exploit it because he'll be watching them like a hawk.

>Trump hired a former lawyer for Verizon as head of the FCC

He's not even hiding it.

>oh no information
lol Sup Forums nigger foot soldier ape

kek stay mad americunts, feels good to not have to deal with your idiocy and your uncultured retarded opinions anymore.
Hope this happens

>You just don't understand the politics of the majority of europe when it comes to consumer protections.
This.
The US feel like a completely different culture when it comes to that.
BEST TIMELINE!
>most of its users are american
No? Not even close.

Can someone please kill that shill that´s pushing to end net neutrality? just off him.

foh russian psy op shill

>an internet without the 56% ethic group
kek i cant wait

How is that at all relevant to this argument though? Most people only have access to one ISP

Did they not use that argument last time?

>babbys first political outrage
it's ok sweety the pendulum will swing the other way

>Eurocucks and Autistralians rejoicing at the prospect of Americans not discussing American news and entertainment on an American website

This isn't sustainable without us.

Net neutrality was championed by the Obama administration and was the brainchild of a socialist professor who wanted government control of the Internet to kill online “capitalist” advertising and to promote “socialist principles.”

Net neutrality as designed by the Obama administration was simply a trojan horse to restrict political free speech on the Internet.

Yeah, but the government weren't invisible hand cultists and the head of the FCC wasn't a literal Verizon stooge.

The argument now is "Oh lol we were wrong :^) We can totally trust these growing monopolies not to screw their customers, even though we've had to act multiple times to stop them from screwing their customers. We should also give up the ability to ever stop the companies from screwing customers in the future, because what could possibly go wrong?"

Net Neutrality is what allows alt-right types to get their signal out.

If you think Breitbart and Infowars are going to prosper under the new rules, think again.

>le 56% thinks they will benefit from it

So you have literally no argument? Fuck off then.

>Socialism is what allows freedom

The absolute state of soyboyism

>you can do whatever you want
>somehow it restricts free speech

Explain how otherwise everyone will take you for a retard.

>restrictions allows freedom
the absolute state of Sup Forumscucks

Enjoy your ISP jacking your bill up while simultaneously restricting what you're allowed to see then.

I tried.

They don't, that's the sad part. Their mongrel nation has been so cucked by corporations that they refuse to defend THEIR OWN rights as consumers because that's "socialist".

The mind can't comprehend how the mutt brain works.

Socialism is what allows freedom for a lot of people that otherwise would be indigent. If poverty is a guilt, why must a child pay for the guilts of his parents?

>le reactionary face
my argument is that we live in a post enlightenment society, honey pie :)

How much is Verizon paying you goy?

>Socialism gave money to the lazy

Amazing. Just like Net Neutrality

>Their mongrel nation has been so cucked by corporations that they refuse to defend THEIR OWN rights as consumers because that's "socialist".
This.
>why should we have rights? That's against FREEDOM! Fucking commie

And that has what exactly to do with ISPs trying to fuck you harder than they already are?

Intelligent people value human life.

Human rights are a meme word, freedom is obtained by hard working and the wealth accumulation

>freedom is obtained by being born to a rich family

OK then.

nothing of value will be lost

>If you think Breitbart and Infowars are going to prosper under the new rules, think again.
it might with billionare backing, never underestimate the right's willingness to ignore standards they put on everyone else

jesus fuck you're a moron
You read three sentences about Adam Smith and now you think you know everything about economics

it mainly has to do with the fact that we(west) have all those fancy ideas of equality and rights which are so deeply embedded in our collective subconscious that there's no hope of an orwellian future ever coming into being without a massive backlash which would turn the pendulum completely in the other direction.

wew

not an argument.

>letmewatchthis
damn haven't heard that in a while. Was my go to when Megavideo when down. I miss Megavideo

>Surely it couldn't happen to ME
If you really think the United States is immune to corruption, you are a fool.

>Muh market self regulation

kek have fun america

not what i said

We're creeping towards it bit by bit.

Sure, if they tried to do it overnight there would be rioting.

What Pai wants to do is some Brave New World shit though. And the moment he works out that the next logical step is to kill VPNs and similar services to make sure that ISPs can correctly monitor what you're doing it will be a step closer to 1984 as well.
