Net Neutrality

Its pretty important, and I wanted to share the video I made. Please share on your facebooks.

The TLDR of net neutrality is ...

It takes breaks up the even playing field of the internet. Right now theoretically vmaxforum and youtube have the same priority for me to open. If net neutrality fails then vmaxforum may take an extra 5 seconds to load just because comcast decides to throttle the connection to vmaxforum.... but youtube still loads normally. It gives another avenue for ISPs to censor and limit what you can see.

It is important but it seems that the powers that be want to get rid of it so the ISPs can make more money. Thanks for the video.

Never heard of net neutrality till this thread.

I can see why ISP's and huge corporations would push for it to end. It would be highly beneficial to ISPs as they could make even MORE money off providing service.

Huge corporations can use their deep pockets to throttle their sites and further push their competitors into the darkness with the hopes of building a monopoly.

The typical citizen will have to pay for "premium channels" on the internet much like we do with cable TV. Expect you internet bill to double for no good reason.

I can't believe this wasn't done a week after the internet was invented. It seems inevitable.

I REALLY ******* HOPE congress does not end it!!!!!

If you're hoping Congress is going to do anything to make the average Americans life any easier, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale, cheap...

Net neutrality was repealed today.

It opens the gateway to ISPs potentially charging and costing their consumers more money, or limiting/throttling other services.

Looks like Roy Moore is gonna have to pay more for his access to kiddy porn sites.. Sad.

From what I understand over 80% of the population wanted net neutrality. Looks like only corps with lots of $$$ count. Sad.

This is a reporter getting his ass kicked, with real laws, by a former FCC commissioner. I wonder why we don't hear this side of the story. It's a good factual listen IMO.

It's perfect. How many times did he tell him the IF that happens, it's ILLEGAL and there HAS BEEN laws inplace to prevent that for some time.

The former director was stating laws that ,were/are still in place, not bs. :bang head:
The "ANCHOR" needs to go outside and scream at the sky.:biglaugh:

The director served for the repub's and dems so ya can't say he's one way or the other as would be painted in the media.

Actually throttling someones bandwidth isn't illegal under the Clayton or Sherman Acts. The reason internet broadband got classified as Title II was BECAUSE Comcast and Verizon were already found guilty of doing this ****. Something that former FCC guy seems to casually forget. And when the FCC tried to create rules to stop them from doing it the FCC got sued and lost in court. Why? Because the federal courts ruled in 2014 "FCC erred by imposing per se common carrier regulations without first declaring that ISPs are common carriers." That's WHY the FCC made them Title II in 2015...

So we've already been down the road before... you and the talking head are wrong about this being illegal. It was illegal with Title II -- now it won't be. Again, the big corps have already been proven what they are going to do -- it's not a "what if" they were caught doing it before 2015 and the FCC was toothless in court without giving internet broadband Title II classification. The Title II was put in place to for a reason. The reporter on that video failed big time to mention that and the other guy "conveniently" leaves that history out of it.

I'm not ready to jump off a cliff yet.

I'm not ready to jump off a cliff yet.

I'll just quote the headline:

The Repeal Of Net Neutrality Is A Bad Thing (But Not For The Reasons You Think)

Sure, lets argue over WHY its bad and ignore the simple fact that it's bad period. Because that's EXACTLY what the title of the article says. And I'm sorry, this article does the same **** the FCC dude did in the video did - act like we haven't been down this road already. Like there is no history of what corps were up to before the 2015 Tittle II. But keep believing Charter and Comcast are going to be all about Net Neurtrality. Haha... there's only been literally HUNDREDS of years proving when we leave corps to self regulate they ALWAYS fail.

No one ever said anything about jumping off the cliff. Will you see radical changes next year? Nope. But take snapshot right now on your internet access and choices/prices and come back to this thread in 5 years.. and I PROMISE you it will be a big difference and the difference WONT be in you and my favor. I dunno why Americans are so ******* eager to give MORE money to corps making BILLIONS, but this country has lost its damn mind so nothing surprises me.

Nobody's "******* eager" to give anybody more money.
Believe me, that's the furthest thing from my mind.
My wife and I busted our ass to be where we are in life right now.
Nothing was handed out to us.
We earned it and are reminded every week just how much we GIVE away every week in our pay stubs.

It's the ******* hysteria that the worlds going to end **** that annoys me more than anything.

This whole thing kinda reminds me of Y2K.
Made a lot of money hooking up generators to data centers (because "the grids going to go down") then babysitting them while nothing happened.
That's all.

Will it go up, guaranteed. Just look your electric,gas,cable/satellite,insurance, property taxes ect bill from years past.
Nobody's saying they like it.
That would be a stupid assumption.
