Net neutrality became an issue BECAUSE throttling was a problem.

Did you get to the part about how when the FCC regulates it, that the FCC can decide that certain websites are deemed inappropriate and just shut them down though? Or even certain individuals?

So what? Google and FB are doing that already. Both of them are busy "protecting" you from "fake news"- google has not only "demonetized" certain youtubers but is also screwing with search results in both Youtube and in the search engine itself: many of the alt-commentators that I look for, like Catherine Austin-Fitts and Gerald Celente have their search results scrambled ... something from 2015 is popped up as being recent, recent videos are nowhere to be found.

Whatever happened to google's "don't be evil"?

Censorship isn't just by the government, yanno.

Geeez. You admit you don't know ANYTHING about it, even though there are HUNDREDS of articles that would take less time to find than posting a thread and video, yet you are going with a you-tube video for all your reasoned opinion.

And you wonder why I call you an idiot.

Throttling IS NOT A PROBLEM. They created a problem so they could soak more money from people and control internet access.

It doesn't surprise me you'd be FOR that.

Imagine ISPs picking political sides and blocking access to articles and content about the opponents for all their users. That will be legally allowed as well.

"Today’s new rule would enable ISPs to charge consumers more to access sites like Facebook and Twitter and give them the leverage to degrade high quality of video streaming until and unless somebody pays them more money. Even worse, today’s vote would enable ISPs to favor certain viewpoints over others."

I wasn't aware that GOOGLE or FACEBOOK were part of our Government, had enforcement authority over innocent American Citizens, or were entities requiring participation by every citizen.

On one hand you were arguing that Government must protect Citizens from eeevil ISPs, but here you seem to imply that eeevil GOOGLE and FACEBOOK are suitable surrogates for the Government.

Perhaps you believe that all ails would be resolved if Government were merely larger?

Also, since you can't read...at the bottom of that post I said "Or until you stop being stupid, which is most likely permanent...so I'll be around"

You represent everything wrong with humanity. Really. Good health and you piss it away, no impediments to anything you do and yet ALL YOU DO is sit around and complain that women are evil for wanting equal rights and equal pay, and that white males aren't worshipped. No education and you think you should have a say. You are just one big knuckle-dragging seething ID.


You probably think you shouldn't have to pay any taxes because you only use two roads, why help pay for them all....why pay for firefighters when YOUR house hasn't burned down. Why pay for teachers when you enjoy being ignorant and uninformed. You don't want to help pay the costs of living in a society, THEN DON'T LIVE IN SOCIETY.

GET OFF THE INTERNET, GET OFF THE ROADS, DON'T WHINE WHEN YOUR HOUSE BURNS DOWN OR YOU GET SHOT AND NO ONE COMES.

Big Tech has showered Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors’ PAC and charities with millions in donations — and censors her online critics — as she backs their battle to control the internet.

Philanthropists linked to Facebook, Twitter and Netflix have donated more than $7.5 million to a host of non-profits controlled by Khan-Cullors, who has helped them lobby for “net neutrality.”

The issue of net neutrality is about who controls the Internet. Proponents, including human rights groups, want a free flow of views and information. They fear content can be controlled by phone and cable companies — the Internet service providers — in how they set fees and speeds for content producers and users. Big Tech firms, many of which already engage in censoring content they don’t agree with, don’t want ISPs to control the Internet — and their profits.

Khan-Cullors, 37, began lobbying for net neutrality in 2014, a year after she co-founded the Black Lives Matter movement with the hashtag #blacklivesmatter.

“The continued growth of this movement and its capacity to respond nimbly and effectively to the brutal and biased policing of Black communities depends, in part, on access to a non-discriminatory Internet,” she wrote in an opinion piece for The Hill in December 2014. Days later, activist groups including BLM traveled to Capitol Hill to lobby members of the Federal Communications Commission and Congress on the issue. Cullors has given speeches espousing net neutrality and denouncing ISPs.

You can't even tell me why I should be for Net Neutrality.

You have no idea what you're fighting against, Princess.

Do Right, Be Right. :)
