Net Neutrality is dead, FCC voted to kill it.

Falsedawn said:
Net Neutrality codifies the status quo prior to its enaction into law, it's not a regulation in that it doesn't change anything. It's simply the principle that all traffic on the internet should be treated the same, as bits and bytes instead of usage categories like "video" or "voice". It stops service providers from charging based on those usage categories, prioritizing certain sites over others, or blocking legal traffic based on geographical origin point.

This is the internet as we have always used it, versus what the ISPs want to do to continue to monetize bandwidth instead of expanding infrastructure like we paid them to do in 1996.

Who are the biggest internet corporations? Is there a single one who's against net neutrality? Why would that be, do you think?

All internet providers say they love net neutrality. Their actions speak far louder than their words. They have been systematically buying up telecom companies, lobbying to reduce regulations, and they just succeeded.

You seem to be arguing for having an internet in which the providers have a monopoly on control, and you get a dick in your ass.

How about just the way it already is? Can we keep it that way?

A. the way it was is what led to the way it will be, with increasing monopoly and lobbying to change policy.
B. The FCC made sure we cant go back to the way it was/is.

Why do you think corporations control so much of your life? It's almost none of mine. I do butcher shops and farmer's markets for my food. My biggest expense is taxes by a landslide.

No such thing as going back to the way it is, cause it's the way it is already. You're guessing how it might be, which is completely contrary to how everything has ever gone before.

Your anti-government hysterics in this thread makes it sound like you've completely swallowed the Friedman/neoliberal special.

While defending the proposed changes shows a complete disconnect from the issue, and possibly a total lack of rational thought altogether

Technically smaller government wouldn't help prop up these massive conglomerates like ours has for decades. Both parties are at issue on that front.

What does that even mean? I'll take Milton Friedman's word over a sherdogger, but I didn't need to anyway. I can take hedge my bets and it wouldn't change my position one bit.

Surely you can give one example then of websites being shut down. I'm sure you have a ton, but one will suffice. Come on, just one... You called it simple in your last post, so surely you can simply explain your position.

You've gotta be trolling imo

You think I have a 10 year old troll account? I'm just asking what the benefit is of shitting up every website just to make sure google and facebook don't have to buy more bandwidth. Seriously, look at every single gigantic kadrillionaire website and see their position on it. Oh yeah, mark zukercorn and the google :eek::eek::eek:s are all against net neutrality cause they're just sick and tired of owning the internet and think someone else should have a chance.

English clearly isn't even your first language. Does "worst" also include the country you fucking left?

They are already paying for their own bandwidth. This has been explained in this very thread. Otherwise you couldn't access facebook or google because their interconnect services would fail.

Google, Netflix, Facebook all pay for huge amounts of bandwidth on the internet's backend. They pay it to companies like Level 3, Verizon, AT&T, and others, who run the huge interconnects where the data is routed from source to requester and vice versa.

Consumer ISPs charge normal people for the service of connecting their home to the backend through the commercial ISP's own network, which bridges homes and the backbone. This can be a little confusing because some of the same companies that provide commercial internet service also provide backbone service, but they are internally separated and accounted separately.

So when you request a video from Youtube - it originates on Youtube servers (google pays for), travels from them to the backbone (bandwidth google pays for), and from the backbone through Comcast/Verizon's network to your computer (you pay for).

THERE ARE NO FREE RIDES. EVERYTHING IS ALREADY PAID FOR. The ISPs want to get paid by both you (the requester) and AGAIN by the sender for the privilege of traveling over their network. This is fuckery. Imagine if you had to pay for sending a package and the receiver couldn't open it until they also paid. It's stupid. It's bullshit. It's obviously just them realizing there is no meaningful competition and deciding that they can squeeze some companies to increase their revenue by treating certain traffic differently than others.

You don't know what you're talking about. I'm not insulting here, I'm saying you literally are repeating things that show you don't know about this topic.
