Saving Net Neutrality

[Mercury_Maniac]

CONGRATULATIONS everybody! We only have 7 days to fight the FCC & the repeal of #NetNeutrality! Thanks to John Oliver there's a SUPER easy way to do this. Do you enjoy Netflix? Do you find yourself spending too much time on FB? If net neutrality goes away, our Internet bills go up and we give power to companies like Comcast and Spectrum to control what information we can access.
Here's what you can do - takes less than a minute.
1. Go to gofccyourself.com
(the shortcut John Oliver made to the hard-to-find FCC comment page)
2. Click on the 17-108 link (Restoring Internet Freedom)
2. Click on "+Express"
3. Be sure to hit "ENTER" after you put in your name (your name will then feature a Yellow box. Then put in the rest of your info.
4. In the comment section write, "I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs."
5. Click to Review, then Submit, done. - Make sure you hit submit at the end!
C&P this!

Already the majority of Americans (at least those who have left comments) support net neutrality, Ajit Pai is ignoring them.

Worth a shot

 

[Not Normal]

It's worth a shot.

We never had net neutrality until a few years ago yet somehow Netflix functioned just fine and internet service was affordable before government imposed it on us.

We never had traffic lights and people traveled the roads fine until the government imposed them on us in 1914.

Once Internet is just another Telecom service, the general forum will be closed.

Why? Care to explain?

People driving while using their cell phones ignore them anyway.

Right now, most porn in america is consumed alone.

A large percentage of porn consumers live with a partner or family.

Once your Internet bill is bundled into access packages, what percentage of those households will opt for the access plan that includes sites like Literotica?

 

[MagnusRichard]

Expect to see a lot more of this:

My old lady freaked out about me me being here ... I get it. I probably wouldn’t like it either but to me it was just people talking .. she saw it as a porn site which I should not be on .. again .. I get it

What do I want here. Just to say goodbye

Jezz. Froya, Adrina. Will miss you guys. Melissababy good luck to you child. You’re doing great

And onwards and outwards I go

I think you’re all cool peeps. But I’m out. Take care

Yaa!!! Feedom, liberty and pursuit of the American dream be damned we don't want that shit!!

I want the almighty god state telling me how to wipe my ass 24/7 !!

Meanwhile, back in the real world, far outside of the Queerbait Consortium Reality Distortion Bubble:
Verizon throttles Netflix

Well, if that was actually the case, you'd be for Net Neutrality.

Instead, you're for your corporate masters. They don't want it, and you'll do whatever they say, because capitalism.

 

[BotanyBoy]

If I really wanted government control over everything?

Yes if I was a good statist I'd want Net Neutrality.

Instead, you're for your corporate masters.

Corporate masters? LOL No such boogieman exists...they don't have the authority to be masters.

And even if there were such a thing, some of the biggest in the world support net neutrality, because it helps them make money. So the real corporate fan boys n' girls are the plutocratic Net Neutrality supporters.

They don't want it, and you'll do whatever they say, because capitalism.

Some don't want it...megacorp USA has a lot of people who support Net Neutrality.

I'll support capitalism because I'm a freedom and liberty loving American, not a left wing statist like yourself.

Losing net neutrality means LESS decision-making by the consumer.

You're ok with that.

Explain why?

 

[BotanyBoy]

Explain why?

Because it doesn't.

Less restrictions over what providers are allowed to offer doesn't restrict decision-making by the consumer.

The only thing that lowers decision-making by the consumer is government restrictions on what goods and services providers are allowed to offer.....which is exactly what net neutrality is.

my congressmen will not give up their seats so easily. this is platform. you pay for speed. it is wild west.

Net neutrality limits what ISP's are allowed to not offer, or in other words, what they are allowed to block or slow down.

Same difference.

The bottom line is Net Neutrality = less freedom of choice in the provider<-->consumer interaction.

ISP's can't offer cheaper/more spensive packages for people because the government stuck a gun to their head and told them they have to sell it all or nothing for 1 price.

That's less choices, less decision making on the consumers part by order of the federal government.

Wouldn't you like more options?

I don't need E-sports or day trader level internet, I just need email and amazon, if I can now get that for less than what I pay now then shit canning net neutrality is a win for me.

The gamers and big internet junkies are going to be fucked though and I don't care I shouldn't be subsidizing their addictions anyhow.

All broadband ISP's I know of offer different classes of service to the consumer at a range of prices. Nothing illegal about that.
But if I'm paying for 100Mbps they shouldn't be allowed to slow it to 20 whenever I watch something on Youtube.
Or slow my Linux ISO download because the ISP is getting money from Microsoft.

If you want super cheap, use dial-up.

Is the assumption here Comrade that the "majority" of Americans have an informed thought on the matter or is it that Net Neutrality, as a phrase, has a ring of "fairness" to it?

"Excuse me Sir/Madam, how do you feel race neutrality?"
"Oh yeah, I'm all for that! Everyone should be treated fairly!"

My assumption is that they are at least as informed (likely more informed based on the arguments I've seen opposing it) as the people who oppose it.

I've seen few, if any, people who appear to have an understanding of technology state opposition to it.

So opposition must be based in technology? Can it not be based in honest, time-proven Liberal values of liberty and property? Are we to become Fascists comrade? Are we to say, you can develop it, you can build it, you can own it, but for the greater good, we will control it, you now have a new partner (shades of organize crime, both honest and political).

I'd agree about the getting what you pay for.

I don't see why they can't shit on Linux though.

Can't get Dial up anything here, satellite only, I've got the best shit and it still sucks.
