Fox News says killing N.N. will save the internet

[Drydess]

there is zero reason for the average person to want net neutrality gone except "lol stupid libs"

you're drawing a false equivalency in saying deregulation == allowing companies to forget people.

Oh, I forgot to mention this, but you're drawing a false equivalence between saying NN should stay and saying that all deregulation is bad.

NOBODY is saying that deregulation is universally bad. We're talking about Net Neutrality. If you want to make a valid piece of criticism, you must talk about Net Neutrality in specific. That's right, I'm not even talking about Title II, purely Net Neutrality in specific. The reason for that is that if you want to defend the FCC's actions, you have to actually defend what their intentions are, and that's to get rid of Net Neutrality itself. They don't care about temporarily removing it and then putting it back "better", their only intention was truly to get rid of Net Neutrality and keep it gone.

i don't think the average person cares about nn

[Drydess]

i don't think the average person cares about nn

only because the average person doesn't know stuff about it

imagine not being able to make a phone call because you made statements against the telecom company you're using. is that fair? it's a very similar issue with net neutrality, where companies could prevent you accessing websites for whatever reason they chose, reasonable or not.

sure is weird so many big corporations that use enormous swaths of bandwidth are in favor of it

can you guys seriously stop with this? how many "forget AJIT PAI" and "lol look at this anti-NN douchebag" threads have been made in the past hour? is this what I'm supposed to expect for the next several weeks until you finally admit that net neutrality is gone?

i mean, yeah, internet-based services have pretty compelling incentive to be pro-NN, because they're exactly the kinds of operations that are the victims of the kind of anti-competitive behavior net neutrality tries to prohibit

[Drydess]

why do you not want net neutrality? serious question

yeah but a real protest would take too much effort :(

There actually have been protests all over, including many tens of thousands of people calling and writing their representatives. I would have been included in that if I actually lived in the US. Online activism and spreading of knowledge is still important.

whats the issue? consumers pay for that data to be exchanged over the networks, right?
