Default Help Save Net Neturality!

For US citizens of the forum,

Tomorrow the Senate will be voting on whether to save net neutrality or let it die. If net neutrality dies the cable companies will gain huge control over your Internet access. You absolutely need to take 5 minutes to write to your senator, for your personal benefit and for the good of mankind. Here's more information on what can be done and how: [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] - you can easily call, email and tweet to your senators through the website.

IF you are not from the US, show your support of net neutrality by signing this petition: [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]

Net neutrality is a concept dreamed up by delusional whiney millennials who grew up downloading albums someone else paid to record and wearing "sharing is caring" tshirts, who think it's fine and good for the government to regulate an industry it holds no stake in over the whims of those that do. I have utter contempt for it and am very much looking forward to celebrating its demise on June 11th.

Mate, net neutrality = uncensored Internet, not the opposite

Yeah, you got that one pretty wrong.

The reality is that US Americans MOSTLY (not all-ly) believe that everyone should have generally equal access to roads, mail service, electricity, and telephone communication. The oft-used term is "Universal Access".

I'm not going to go into all the political wrangling and whathaveyou, but We The People find that a free-ish and fair internet serves the greater good for all, even though there will be many who disagree and who have - anecdotally - good reasons for opposing such.

Theft by internet transmission is wrong, but monopolistic control of public highways - like the internets - is as bad as having a single entity controlling the entire food supply.

What sort of right-wing insanity could welcome the demise of net neutrality?
Alas those who welcome the demise may get what they want--subservience to the billionaires who control the media.
Propaganda from Sheldon Adelson, anyone?

This is all very foolish. The internet before 2015 was not a monopoly and none of these bizarre scenarios dreamed up by said delusional doomsayers were actually happening. Broadband access was improving [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] just fine. You know what happened in 2015? the obvious, infrastructure buildout started dropping like a stone because duh, why invest when the government is about to co-opt and nationalize your own investment. Take a look at the biggest nn backers, emphasis on biggest, and like always you find already intrenched businesses trying to lock-in their status within the industry.
Or perhaps you'd like to allow for the possibility of lobbying just the right people to decide that it's not in the public's interest to be able to access mixed wrestling videos.

lol, you guys are so funny. NO ONE Should ever want this to pass through, Right or Left.

If you are those people who wants free handouts, people who believe it is your BASIC right to receive free wrestling videos because everything should be shared. If you think you are living in a fantasy land where producers should pay thousands of dollars to make video so that everyone else can have it for free, I hate you, but let me tell you this:

If this passes, it would be a lot harder for you to get free stuffs. Because when this law goes through, internet company can charge however much they want. Which means a lot of poor websites will have much SLOWER speed than the rich websites. If you are downloading a youtube video, try spending days to download one because the download website didn't pay for PREMIUM internet. Your own internet bill(do communists even pay for internet?) will go up.

For the people on the right. If you are not the top 1%, I don't know why you would agree with this. This is a bill that is "Allow big company to destroy your company unless you pay them how much ever they charge."

Nowaday you need internet, you are looking at a fetish forum right now, which 50 years old didn't have. You want to apply for a school, you use internet, you want to apply for a job, you use internet.

It would be a different case if everyone suffers the same, but in this case, only rich people get hit the least, this is a bill that lets big companies have monopoly. If you have a business, you will always be outcompete because no one can use your website because it would be so slow.

Ah yes, it totally makes sense for broadband providers to make the internet that they are trying to sell you a lousy experience to use, given the cord-cutting trend. This fortress of logic is impregnable.

lol, after the bill. company can give you the lowest possible internet experience and you will still use it because you are addicted to it. In fact, you might even pay more to get better experience instead.
