Except that you might start getting charged extra for internet websites you use if Net Neutrality is struck down. You can't stay in the middle in this if you used the Internet to make that post.

Are you seriously suggesting you'd want to pay $49.99/month extra for Steam access?

What kind of handicapped fear-mongering is this?

The congressmen have an obligation to be receptive and to carry out the interests of their represented people. If they are presented with overwhelming support for net neutrality, it'll be hard for them to refuse. And if they do, they certainly can expect some negativity come their next election period. I don't agree with fear-mongering or undue panic, but this is a very real issue that requires the attention of the government, and a meaningful congregation of people to promote the idea can help.

Mao isn't a badguy, you are all just paranoid. After all he drove the filthy capalist and imperialist pigs out. *70 million dead later*

This Hoxha guy knows what he is doing, he said he would keep us safe from Greece and Yugoslavia! *6000 dead later*

That golden gate bridge toll is only temporary, it'll only be there for a hundred years! *still charges people to cross the damn thing to this day*

Our nation suffered a bloody civil war, lets let these rich guys and there big business do whatever the hell they want by getting rid off all these regulations and restrictions. What could go wrong. *Thousands of trusts, monopolies, inflated prices, harzardous products, poor sanitation, and worker abuse lasting until the 1900s*

Obliviously it continues, but school history books act like Teddy came by and brought them all done it was a done deal that people would never have to worry about. Like how they also said Martian Luther King jr came by and said he had a dream and that some how ended racism forever.

Basically stuff taken for granted by people of the
"This book said it happened along time ago, it'll never happen again because we took care of it once." mentality.

It's already happening. If you think that "some websites are magically cheaper" is different than "some websites cost extra" you fail at logic.

Huge bump, but it happened, we won. Title 2 is a reality.

Oh boy this stuff again
In short, it has nothing to do with "handing over the net to the government"
