The problem is that most of the people that understand the gravity of the situation are more rational, well-reasoned people that are less likely to fly into a violent rage.

Now that's funny.

Hasn't NN only been in effect for 2 years?

What were things like before it?

Things started to get out of control. Obama had to keep them in check. They will be free to continue now.

Okay but how were things getting out of control?

2005 North Carolina ISP Madison River Communications blocked VoIP service Vonage.

2005 Comcast blocked or severely delayed traffic using the BitTorrent file-sharing protocol. (The company even had the guts to deny this for months until evidence was presented by the Associated Press.)

2007 AT&T censored Pearl Jam because lead singer criticized President Bush.

2007 to 2009 AT&T forced Apple to block Skype because it didnt like the competition. At the time, the carrier had exclusive rights to sell the iPhone and even then the net neutrality advocates were pushing the government to protect online consumers, over 5 years before these rules were actually passed.

2009 Google Voice app faced similar issues from ISPs, including AT&T on iPhone.

2010 Windstream Communications, a DSL provider, started hijacking search results made using Google toolbar. It consistently redirected users to Windstreams own search engine and results.

2011 MetroPCS, one of the top-five wireless carriers at the time, announced plans to block streaming services over its 4G network from everyone except YouTube.

2011 to 2013 AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon blocked Google Wallet in favor of Isis, a mobile payment system in which all three had shares. Verizon even asked Google to not include its payment app in its Nexus devices.

2012 AT&T blocked FaceTime; again because the company didnt like the competition.

2012 Verizon started blocking people from using tethering apps on their phones that enabled consumers to avoid the companys $20 tethering fee.

2014 AT&T announced a new sponsored data scheme, offering content creators a way to buy their way around the data caps that AT&T imposes on its subscribers.

2014 Netflix started paying Verizon and Comcast to improve streaming service for consumers.

2014 T-Mobile was accused of using data caps to manipulate online competition.
