The alt right is as stupid as usual itt.

This is an underrated post:

To be honest, I think the focus on charts like the above is to ignore many of the wider issues around net neutrality.

For example, ISPs won't just be able to charge you more, but they'll be able to modify speeds and even modify the data in transit. On speeds, this will allow them to favor their own services over their competitors and to essentially freeze out new entrants to the market who can't afford to pay for preferential speeds. Even a small difference in speeds affects the sites people go to. On the data itself, this allows them to add trackers, spyware, etc. and potentially remove certain layers of encryption, making the internet less safe to use.

There's also the issue of the infrastructure that ISPs control (e.g. pole attachment), where they can prevent new ISPs from entering the market. For all the talk of competition being all that's required (rather than regulation), well, there ain't gonna be much.

I'm probably sounding like a broken record here lol.

And you know, not to mention this would bring us to third world internet standards. Again no surprise with the alt right, they are basically terrorists that get a platform. For sane people the obvious downsides here are devastating across the board.
