You get to laugh as Americans are further raped by their own government.
Verizon releases statement over net neutrality repeal
It's not our own government, we just haven't overthrown it yet.
With ICANN being transferred away from the United States, i'm unsure what kind of impact this will have on the rest of the world. I hope the fucking roses in europe do a better job distributing the net than we do.

ICANN has nothing to do with anything.

It's more so than usual. The Republicans are destroying everything to please their donors.
tbh they can only go so far
actually trying to do the shit pro-NN people claim they will pull with major sites would lead to a massive consumer backlash and major controversy.
A bigger question is for smaller more niche sites, whether they will deliberately target torrenting traffic (from what I understand wouldn't be that hard to throttle provided they knew what the consumer was doing), and using it to try to block sites the ISP doesn't like.
also I've been seeing shit about how the consumer input process for removing NN was shady as fuck, so this could get dragged out for a while
