How do you feel about this whole thing?

#NetNeutrality jeopardized.

Ajit Pai evidently really doesn't believe in #netneutrality

Defend net neutrality! I don't live in the US right now, but I have friends and family there and I don't want to cut off almost all communication with them. #NetNeutrality

REPEAL NET NEUTRALITY and Take it out of the hands of Government!!!

The fact that there are Libertarians and Ayn Rand followers pushing for government to keep Net Neutrality tells me that a lot of so called libertarian's and Rand followers just don't get it. The NN propaganda is just that... propaganda that has no meaning.

1) You have a greater chance of censorship under Title II because if... no... when the Democrats do get a majority, they will pass their broadcast bill that they have been trying to pass for over 10 years. That applies to Title II. That means all political talk on TV, Radio, and internet can be censored.... again... that applies to the internet too.

2) NN does not stop mergers or monopolies. Anyone spouting this nonsense is a fool. There is absolutely nothing under NN that stops this.

3) A tiered internet... A tiering system didn't happen until after NN was passed. That was when T-mobile started zero rating to get customers. That essentially "tiered the internet" but you don't see customers complaining. Why? Because other companies began doing it. While NN proponents are trying to shut zero rating down, it is an example of how competition could work even better without NN.

4) Netflix... Netflix prices didn't go up until AFTER NN was passed. As a matter of fact, NN puts more money into Netflix's pocket, that's why they are for it. However, Netflix uses a massive amount of bandwidth. Therefore.... shouldn't Netflix pay more for using more??? Netflix can then decide to eat the cost and not piss off subscribers, or take the chance and roll the rise in cost into the subscriber's amount. However... With Amazon, Hulu, Youtube, and Sling TV (among others) also paying more, the competition to keep customers is created. Who the fuck cares if Netflix pays more??? Why help a corporation who is getting more money because NN through government regulation gives them more???

5) Before NN, nothing that NN was created to stop, was currently happening. This was fear mongered through, then the ignorant people, who are clueless to anything but morons yelling, "They are going to destroy the internet," started jumping on the bandwagon because they believed the nonsense.

If you want more competition, you go local and fight to change exclusive territories given to ISP's. You fight local authorities and over regulation to make it easier for new ISP's and carriers to come into the market and provide service. The dumbest thing to do is fight for more government at the top that can lead to censorship, while being screwed at the bottom. No logical person boxes themselves into that kind of government control.

#NetNeutrality is bad. It is not about a free and open internet but a government regulated one that future politicians will censor and lock down. Don't fall for the ignorant and uninformed NN propaganda. The sky is NOT falling and the internet is not under attack. Only in the minds of the ignorant who can't think past the 30 second soundbite is there an issue here.

Americans who are in this community might wanna check the Net Neutrality that is about ready to get torn down. This could seriously impede freedom of speech, information Access, new business start ups, smaller websites, allow cable companies to package Internet access and many other things.
FCC is trying to sneak this by Dec 14

For the people who don't understand what #NetNeutrality is. This is it in a nutshell.
They may take away our internet, but they can't take way our FREEDOM.

It's All Net Neutrality All The Time
But that's because it's bloody important.

This week, the FCC laid out plans to repeal net neutrality, a policy that dictates that all internet traffic should be treated equally. Under the FCC’s new proposals, which will be voted on (and likely passed) on December 14, internet service providers will be able to charge consumers, and companies, for different packages of services and tiers of access. As a result, if Netflix, for instance, wants to strike deals to give its streaming service the fast-lane treatment on some ISPs, it can do that. Other streaming services, like start-ups with less available capital, will be unable to compete. Big monopolies and entrenched industry players will benefit most; smaller companies will risk losing access to consumers, and consumers themselves will remain, as always, at the mercy of a few large ISPs.

Net Neutrality Is Again Being Threatened As Major Corporations Lie Through Their Teeth
The video is painful to watch. They are literally, straight-up lying.

As the Trump administration guts oversight of some of the least liked and least competitive companies in America in one of the most brazen examples of crony capitalism in tech policy history, ISPs like Verizon and Comcast seem intent on insisting that none of this is actually happening. Verizon, you'll recall, went so far as to publish a comical video in which the company used a fake journalist to try and construct an alternate timeline; one in which Verizon hasn't been trying to undermine net neutrality and a healthy, competitive internet for the last fifteen years.
