Yeah, options on how you would like your shafting.

Because giving corporations free reign on how they provide data could never end badly.......

I'm not really worried about it. We weren't getting shafted in 2014 when net neutrality wasn't a thing, and quite honestly, I have no desire to have the government controlling the internet so I don't really care.

It's not definite, but it's seeming more likely than not, at least.

Is anyone really happy about it, though? At best, a lot of people either don't know what's at risk or don't use the Internet at all, moreso than being actively happy about it. Even most rich people are going to be hurt by this.

Living in PH here one of if not the slowest net speed on the planet (but pays the most). I could tell you how bad it is when your provider decides how much speed you can get for how much price. I wish we have net neutrality.

I think, if it's even half as bad as people are saying, that everyone who overlooked this are gonna be really upset; hopefully even if it gets repealed some reaction will get us motivated to move in a right direction

Kinda sucks how limited the USA is on what ISP choices they have. Probably why net neutrality isn't a big deal for the UK due to all the options we have when picking a ISP.

Literally no one should be happy about net neutrality being repealed unless you are on the payroll of a major telecom company.

This is one of those rare issues that everyone pretty much feels the same about, regardless of political affiliation.

People need to settle down. Just because the voting went 3-2 in favor of the repeal, the fight is far from over. This post on Reddit does a far better job of explaining it than I could ever hope to do:

https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/7jsyqt/the_fccs_vote_was_predictably_frustrating_but/

Basically, the fight is far from over. Net neutrality could very well still be saved - permanently in fact. Yes, it's disgusting and worrying that the vote went in favor of the repeal, but it's not time to sound the alarms or get panicked over. Keep calling, texting, etc. Keep on fighting. We can still win this.

Apparently there was a bomb threat where the vote was being held

I figured something like that was happening. And you probably could've guessed that it was going to happen on this case.

The internet is going to end because Net Neutrality has only existed since 2014 out of 23 years.


When it was brought into effect to combat the emerging practice of ISP's throttling popular and/or competing sites for the sake of being able to charge more for them. The regulations were introduced to prevent a problem from developing, and that problem's only going to come back with a vengeance if they're repealed.

Bear in mind that while the Internet has been around since the early 90's, its use has shifted dramatically in the last decade. Facebook only really became a thing in 2005 or so, with the whole idea of social media exploding from there. Youtube in 2006. Netflix only began streaming in 2007. The Internet has become a very different place, particularly with the amount of video content that gets streamed, and that evolution has turned it into a competitor for cable. It's only natural that the telecom companies that run both Internet and cable would restrict Internet to keep the dying cash cow that is cable alive.

Really, I'd be a lot more okay with not having net neutrality if Internet wasn't run by cable companies. That's an extremely obvious conflict of interests, and one of the biggest driving forces for the sort of shenanigans net neutrality is meant to prevent. Break the telecom companies up so that ISP's are actually motivated to compete with cable companies, and a whole lot of those problems would go away.

The 2014 revisions came as a result of the FCC losing in court over trying to regulate ISPs. In any other context the FCC would have been the bad guy for going over the courts to get their way.
