Topic	Biden's FCC Reinstates Net Neutrality by 3-2 Vote
Diceheist 05/01/24 4:05:41 PM #48:	Deegs posted... Asked this in another thread but I'm confused what Net Neutrality even gets us at this point. I'm very aware of the horror stories of a carved up internet but we were without net neutrality for 7 years and never got anything even remotely similar. I'm not against regulation where warranted but I'm not sure this one particularly is. Nothing changed because the penalties for violating net neutrality were already trivial. Service providers just took the fines and kept their non-neutral policies in place. An example was T-Mobile's BingeOn plan that throttled speed after a certain amount data usage, EXCEPT for on websites like YouTube and Netflix, which retained normal speeds always. Blatantly non-neutral. They got fined... then kept doing it anyway. --- ~ DH ~ <cite>Diceheist posted [p:980190880] in Biden's FC...
