Because that is more preferable than letting the government have control and being able to tell them to knock it off, evidently. I hope you don't have a problem with the ToS on this site which controls what you are allowed to say. It's the same damn thing Not really comparable at all. The internet as a whole has become a critical part of modern life to the point where many, myself included, believe it should be certified as a utility. This is just a privately-owned completely non-essential gaming website that really bad no real significance in life. It's practically as stupid as if electricity wasn't a utility, you had one electric company choice, they intentionally charged way more than they need to, and would limit your allowed power consumption because the bigger city beside you paid more and gets priority. Then trying to argue that fair because they're a business, their goal is to make money, and if you don't like it you can switch to another company that doesn't exist and isn't coming. Shit in a lot of third world countries and poor areas in the world power outages are regular and the grid will prioritize some things over others but I doubt you want something like that to happen here.... And yeah electricity is more important than internet but that doesn't mean it still isn't deserving of being a utility and that it hasn't become essential in modern life and as such shouldn't be solely monopolized and price gouged and allowed to create this weird fucked up internet that exists solely for corporate financial gain when they already have the entire market locked down as is. it's not even most anticonsumer but anti small business too because a lot of things trying to break into a market as competition will get drowned out by a bigger company. It's like you actually want everything to just ultimately be monopolized... How you can claim to support the free market, yet be against having an open, free, and neutral internet that's a level playing field for everyone is mind bogglingly contradictory to me. --- "You need to lay off the peanut-butthurt and u-jelly sandwiches" - Neon Octopus <cite>Gamer99z posted [p:890936392] in Net neutra...
