Re: Help Save Net Neturality!
Wow - a politicalish discussion here. First one I've seen. I know a lot of people who are up in arms about net neutrality. To be honest, I don't understand it. I've not taken the time to read the fine print and see how it affects this or that.
US congress is hands down on the right, however, and they will vote for business. I don't think writing them will do a speck of good. US is Gerrymandered in favor of the right and they get their way right now with almost everything. Only a few very small victories for the left (like the Right couldn't get rid of Obamacare - too many objections and a few senators wouldn't fall in line), but it's basically all going as the right want it to. Not always pretty, and a few federal judges in the way, but nearly all going with the right. Zweig, I'm usually for writing our congressmen, but the US system is hijacked. It won't do a speck of good. It used to, years ago. Not now. |

I'm personally less worried about net neutrality repeal than many people I know. If Netflix wants to pay for fast-lanes - who does that hurt? Now if they start selecting sites to block, then I'd protest, but if it's just about providing faster streaming to sites that pay, that doesn't bother me. Personally, if sites that broadcast illegal stuff like video sharing get shut down or slowed down, I'd be OK with that too. |

Do you work for a company that will get rich if Net neutrality is undone (remains undone I suppose is more accurate)? It's a fair question. Quote:
The courts, which define the clarify the law on legal challenges, which this is, disagree with you and Mr. Wasserman. One person one vote what the constitution is based on. Pennsylvania is being forced to redraw their districts because they were set up unfairly. Clustering, when the district looks like Donald Duck riding Goofy - something that was done all over the nation, is unconstitutional.

I'm open to the argument as to why it's good. |

As for public support, most Americans support something called net neutrality. When that's broken down to policy specifics for them however, as happens with many issues once buzz words are done away with, that polling changes drastically. |

Re: Help Save Net Neturality!
To be honest, I never realized that this could be a politically divisive topic. I mean, who chooses to trust their Internet to be censored / filtered / adjusted by entities such as AT&T, Verizon and Comcast? And why? Of course Google, FaceBook and other big websites are for net neutrality, and we should be cautious of taking the side of big corporations. But this is a battle between two types of big corporations. And in this instance the interests of the end-users correspond to the interests of big websites, rather than of communications companies.
Backpage shutdown has nothing to do with this subject. Unless repealing net neutrality would somehow save Backpage, I don't see how this example is viable. As to the claim that things were perfect before net neutrality, they were not: [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]
