FCC planning to kill Net Neutrality

FCC is planning to get rid of Net neutrality again and if it gets rid of there is no way of getting it back.
If this passes your ISP's can throttle and block websites that they dont want you to use. Such as youtube, netflix, etc. etc. for you to instead either pay to use them or pay for there service instead.

it's not gonna pass like the ttip or whatever it was called

and this is my, and not service provider's problem how?
without it there's actually a chance for improvement from the backlash.

Jim's darkest dream is to make you pay for using Holla Forums.

If it passes a Walrus will shoot up the house.

This is what, the fifth time they took away net neutrality this month?

I wish Trump or someone would break up these ISP monopolies already.

do you really think big ISP's are in it for you? If this gets taken down then they will do everything in there power to grab hold of your balls then they already are with there monopolies in areas. Youtube and netflix are simply big examples, they can outright block websites that share information or go against there beliefs.


They've tried numerous times this past year or so and its only been shutdown due to people speaking up, the reason they keep trying is that they hope people will just give up on trying to stop it since they've been so adamant on trying to shut net neutrality down.

Net Neutrality is only necessary because of the regional monopolies these fucking ISPs have. Otherwise this wouldn't be a problem.

This net neutrality meme shit is hilarious.

"We have to side with the underdogs (Amazon, Google, Facebook) against the evil corporations who oppose net neutrality!"

You dumbasses are getting played so hard.

Anything that fucks the largest websites which ISPs could feasibly extort money from is a net benefit. Also, this isn't really video games at all.

A goddamn farce that's been subverted for over a decade.

Dubs

This. Jesus christ you niggers cannot possibly think Net Neutrality will pan out well.

Are you kidding? He's likely to do the opposite

...

Maybe. We'll see how things go.

Not siding with those companies, simply siding with the fact of freedom and being able to go on any website without have to pay extra, or getting them outright blocked. Hell this wouldnt be a problem if ISP's didnt fucking house monopolies in areas and there was actually a bill that forces them to allow the sharing of lines and being able to choose more than 2 fucking options for internet service.


The head of FCC was appointed by Trump, who in fact is trying to have this happen. I hate to hear this but its what happened.

Jewgle search on phone ended up with this

...

Here's my train of thought on the matter.

What makes you think ISPs would do something so retarded.

Oh. I see.

Also wasn't Padme or whatever appointed by "Obongo"?

...

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Pretty much anyone openly supporting NN has some sort of financial stake in the matter. Non-throttled Internet = more money for people whose livelihoods involve the Internet in a major capacity. Most of them have blatantly shown they don't give a fuck about free speech. Off the top of my head, some examples include Mozilla, Reddit, and Github. Pretty much any site that truly supports free speech has shown deep skepticism towards NN. Which is all that really needs to be said on the matter.

Actually you can have it both ways. Just regulate some things and let laissez faire happen on other things.

Good thing the ATT merger was stopped.

I completely agree with the message of net neutrality but I sure as fuck don't trust the government to properly regulate anything. When the absolute worst of the worst lefties are promoting it, I have to at least pause to question their motives.

If companies actually tried splitting the internet into a bunch of packages I'm pretty sure the backlash would be so swift and severe that it would be undone shortly. This isn't exactly the same scenario, but when Verizon dropped their unlimited data plan and kept adding more restrictions to get my grandfathered plan cancelled, I dumped them for T-Mobile. In doing so I got an even better plan than I already had for a bit less money, and a few years later I start getting emails from Verizon begging me to come back with their new unlimited data plan. They can get fucked.

A totally unregulated market is the worst damn idea ever. Lack of regulation is what led to the economic bubble bursting in housing markets and banks making insane gambles with money. How could anyone possibly think this was a good idea?

I would not count on this. Why do you think they are trying to hard to get rid of net neutrality?

I remember that Milo said that Net Neutrality is a scam. Can we trust him?

Free unregulated market is great idea, especially when you hate people having identity and going to a church instead of your McMall™
Reminder that capitalism needs something to stop it or you'll sell guns to niggers who'll murderrape your family next day.
or better example, you'll sell encryption CIA can't crack to mudslimes hired to crash into twin towers

...

No.

...

>haha, who cares there's anthrax in baby powder xenoestrogens in plastic containers and millions of innocent died become mentally unstable cucks, the company's product will never be bought again, unless of course the company invested in so much PR they can qualify as a cult or a religious sect
that's your mind on lolberty.

A free market is good for only one thing. And that is forming insanely massive megacorporations that will have monopolies on all production. And who exactly stands to benefit from this?

Why are lefties trying so hard to pass net neutrality? It's not a law codified into anything right now. There is nothing to "get rid of." Companies could start splitting up data right now if they wanted to. They haven't, because they know they can shove that shit down our throats.

This is what they do they always re-brand the issue to make you think past the sale. "ZOMG THEY ARE KILLING NET NEUTRALITY SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST!!!!!!!!

Know they can't* shove that shit down our throats
Fucking autocorrect

Net neutrality is supported by Marxists. That is all you need to know.

Do you seriously think net neutrality doesn't exist? Can anyone be this stupid?

That's not how this works.


Actually, it was the opposite:


tl;dr - Banks weren't loaning to niggers, so the government stepped in with the Affordable Housing Law.


I'm not a lelberg.

Good. It's time to drive out these freeloading communists out of internet. If you can't afford a truly free internet, you don't deserve it.

Can I get an amen?

...

No, but you can have a fuck you.

Please cite the United States law that enforces net neutrality. There is none. All there is are "FCC guidelines" which mean fucking Jack and shit. They told Comcast to stop blocking BitTorrent traffic. They still block BitTorrent traffic, but only the upload speed. Why? Because it's not law, and customers are far less likely to get pissed if their downloads still work, and uploaders only get fucked.

Here's a welcome bit of rational thought. I don't know why everyone must go to one extreme or another.

But I'm a socialist ethno-nationalist. I want more regulation, and less non-whites.

Hey retard, leftists are the ones pushing for NN, not cuckservative establishment faggots. Pay attention next time.

Rude and uncouth. I should expect nothing less from communists.

TBH, I'm too lazy to look it up. But I cannot believe that ISPs would willingly observe net neutrality unless they were legally required to do so.

Desperate

Top kek. Like I said, there is no law, and if ISPs suddenly blocked mom's access to Facebook or dude bro's access to Xbox Live unless they shell out more money, it would be the biggest shit storm they have ever seen. That is why it hasn't happened yet.

Then why the fuck are you strawmanning people who agree with you as "cuckservatives?"

I don't know what to do anymore.

The rules prohibit Internet providers from blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization "fast lanes" for sites that pay, and slow lanes for everyone else. Basically what phone companies are doing currently with there unlimited and capped data limits. Except this would happen with hardwired internet. Cable companies are getting less money since more and more people are using the internet instead of paying for overpriced cable TV and are thus trying to find ways to get people off of it and back onto there service.

Amazon, Google and Facebook are against net neutrality, shill. Also, you're the one getting played once you have to pay 200$ a month visit non-kosher sites.

The only sensible choice is a third option. Unfortunately we have to get rid of Obongo's Nig Neutrality first because it's a false and flawed solution.

Support your right to surf as you please and support net neutrality. Those evil internet corporations are just trying to spin good PR while shanking you.

Yankee ISPs pocketed the money given to them by congress, and then bitch about how bandwidth is expensive on third-world infrastructure from the late 90s.

((The jew cries as he strikes you.))

Nice try.


Meanwhile nobody gives a fuck. I bet you don't even know about the Phoebus Cartel.


The aut-right here supporting net neutrality while also being against the state forcing bakers to bake cakes for fags because it isn't "free market" is not a strawman.

Net neutrality is one of those perfectly divisive issues that even an individual sometimes has conflicting opinions about. On one side you have the elite of the tech world, responsible for a huge proportion of internet traffic (Amazon, Facebook, Google, Netflix) who want to minimize costs and maximize profits. Dovetailing with their interests are the proponents of free speech and free access. Those people will typically advocate for more liberal access at any cost, especially when none of the costs are theirs.
On the other side are the infrastructure guys, the ones responsible for getting all this content from all over the world to your house. They're having to eat a shitload of costs as consumer appetite for bandwidth grows every year, driven by services owned by the aforementioned tech giants. These guys also want to maximize profits and minimize costs. The only reason they aren't the adorable underdogs everyone loves is that the US government has decided that virtually every local consumer market in the nation should only have two or three competitors, so ISPs have exploited that to turn into giant price gouging shitbags.
Personally, I see Google, Netflix, etc. as the greater evil, but if we're being totally honest it doesn't matter who wins here, the added costs are getting shoved onto the consumer one way or the other at the end of the day.

Yes it is you fuck face, this is an anonymous imageboard and I don't give even the slightest shit what some other unidentifiable user said at a totally unspecified time. It also has absolutely no bearing on anyone else's opinion.

>(((Net Neutrality))) finally getting killed
Fucking finally.

t. corporate shills

...

>libtard getting pissy his (((neutrality))) is getting a well-deserved curbstomp
Keep those tears flowing

The beauty of it is that you're shilling for corporate interests whether you're for or against it.

You're retarded, see and start acting in your rational self interest you pig.

Explain the downsides of Net neutrality then.

Man, I'm really glad I managed to develop a brain past that of a child. Some aren't so lucky. You should come back when you can comprehend that the people you are trying to argue with are not in this fucking thread, you infantile ghost-chaser. Maybe then we could have an engaging discussion.

Not an argument, kiddo.

But I am.

Now you're mimicking me. Fascinating. I should really email Jim about enforcing that age limit more strictly.

I like this.

You do? Then why didn't you give me anything to double down on? Jesus, you can't even do banter correctly. How boring. Guess I'll head to a more interesting thread.

That's one way to attempt a "graceful" exit after losing an argument.

I already use proxy-chains and a VPN, I'm not worried tbh.

Like I said, there is no law in place that codifies "net neutrality." There is only "FCC guidelines" which they don't even listen to anyway. Comcast still blocks BitTorrent traffic despite being told not to.


Top kek.

Once again, I agree with the concept they are pitching but don't agree with giving them the power they want. It will always end badly.

Pretty much sums it up.

One of the main reasons people wanted Net Neutrality was to avoid censorship.

Now that Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and many others ban and demonetize on their monopolies for wrong think we're most likely going to see the support for Net Neutrality go out the window.

Many people that I knew that were die hard supporters of NN no longer support it out of pure dislike for YT, Twitter and their ilk.

Say goodbye…

but I don't want to pay for separate services. do you want internet to become like paying for multiplayer on fucking consoles?

>(((net neutrality))) shills are spamming Holla Forums again
Fuck off. Net Jewtrality was completely co-opted and is full government control of the internet. None of you redditniggers has any sense and keep shilling the same fucking lies for years.
Same shit, same shills, different words. Fucking kill yourselves.

Good

...

It happened already when Netflix had to pay Comcast to stop gouging them constantly. So no, it has actually happened, which just showcases how the FCC isn't enforcing dick, depressingly, and showcases that by all accounts the law really might as well not be there in the first place.
The issue is that while I'm 95% of the time libertarian, shit like that will only get worse until we go in the opposite direction and get ISP's off their asses with some decent competition, but there is none.

howv does it feel to never be able to have your ebin lolbertariat revolution where finally everything but breaking circular logic will be allowed?

"forcing" quotation marks because this is something IPs actually would LOVE IPs to standarise speeds means they won't increase slower lanes to match the fastest, but rather it creates an incentive to slower faster lanes
Fucking hell I thought Holla Forums would be smarter than this. Net Neutrality is a solution to a nonexisting problem, an excuse to regulate the internet more. Anyone defending this shit is a fucking moron

We didn't had net neutrality 10 years ago. How was the internet in any way like you fear it will be without NN?

My friend who is an avid redditor *tips fedora* assured me that because he couldn't watch his streaming services on his phone it meant that Net Neutrality already ended. I'm sure the next time I see him he'll get a nice dose of reddit outrage if they decide to ACTUALLY terminate it.
Until then to those of you are concerned it doesn't really matter what the FCC decides anymore because ICANN can just apparently take down any website they please.

...

why the fuck isn't this pinned? wasn't it pinned the last time it came up?

bump for NN

It's been really funny watching Holla Forums flip-flop into opposing net neutrality once Kushner's shills subverted their board.

Out of all people. Why a fucking shitskin pajeet. Now he's upgraded from shitting in street, to shitting on us. Never trust a pajeet.

IT'S OVER.

This shit doesn't go down until December 14th and it's only November 21st. You can call congress to try and sway them away from ruining the internet in the mean time.

I swear, I hate pajeets.

There is little redeeming factor when it comes to them. Their women are also naturally very arrogant to. Fuck these street shitters.

What a future we have to look forward to!

Yes, and?
