It's been 10 months now since this piece of shit snuck a version of CISPA into the federal budget bill at the end of December.
Have any of our fears over it materialized yet?

They are going to wait until no one cares, then they are going to slowly fuck people's collective shit up. Just like they did with net neutrality.
By the way, still don't have broadband or wireless out here in the sticks and my internet speeds are constantly below their advertised limits, but of course I can't complain because they'd be assholes about it because there's a gang of satellite providers who know people don't want to go back to dialup. I wonder why that is?
it's because it was never about providing internet fairly across the country, it was about using out dilapidated infrastructure into the new millennium without being challenged by small business or customers demanding better speeds

You're the only one delusional enough to not understand what net neutrality is a year later.

Why is Republican malfeasance being saged on Holla Forums???
Parker Adams
Because the Emperor and his subjects can do wrong, communist scum.

Not an argument.
Bee tee dubs I'm not , even though a retard like you won't believe me.

Has anyone ever came out and explained exactly how bad things are going to happen because of net neutrality? Vague claims about how the government will censor the internet without pointing exactly how the law would allow them to do so do not count.
Juan Parker
Those claims came from a former Verizon lawyer and lobbyist. Not to mention, he was a Pudoo Patel.
Jack Collins
It's already happening. That you can't see that or it hasn't affected you yet is completely irrelevant.
It's not broad strokes or anything yet, but it's getting there, bit by bit.
Just for the record I routinely have websites and web protocols throttled for I'm not even sure why. Which if I remember correctly is one of the core tenants of net neutrality.
Hunter Moore
Next you're going to be telling me that killing people is one of the core tenants of pacifism.
Charles Gray
I was responding to someone else, not you.
So you wouldn't have said that unless you're the same person.
You still don't know what net neutrality is.

i know trump's going to lose to hillary but it's important that he won the republican primaries how he did. he could cause a change in the republican party down the line. we could see the republican party switch from being the democratic party with christianity and gun rights swapped for social justice and socialism to an actual meaningful difference between the two

Yes and no. Gov is actively pressuring/blackmailing Silicon Valley into "sharing" data, but as far as I can tell, gov constantly complains that not many companies are doing so for fear of losing foreign business.
They've not mentioned any fear of alienating business within the US.

I meant not having them throttled. By the way pretending not to know what I mean is not an argument.
I can't point out you have no argument? That's some strict logic you got there. :^)
Xavier Rivera
How am I supposed to know what you mean when you said the exact opposite? Also, how does the government's failure to enforce a law prove that bad things are happening because of that law? Anything happening due to lack of enforcement would still happen if the law didn't exist.
Cooper Ward
That's you. That's what you sound like right now.
Clearly this law is not for the benefit of the average joe and data fairness or this kind of shit wouldn't happen.
To say that net neutrality had anything to do with preventing ISPs from doing anything whatsoever you're mentally impaired.
Jeremiah Davis
You still haven't posted any evidence of bad things happening because of the law or evidence of how the law could allow the government to do bad things. Their failure to adequately enforce the law is evidence of neither.

In short - do you trust the government to exercise wholely arbitrary discretion towards implementing this bill that creepy-as-fuck pro-voyeur Congressman Paul Ryan snuck in?

Does Techdirt monitor this board?
John Peterson
Beats me. I read TechDirt though and I found it relevant to the OP's question.
