FCC to repeal Net Neutrality Bill

[The Federal Kingdom Of Zuhi]

I can't ever wrap my head around this. What's the point in repealing Net Neutrality? ISPs like Comcast and At&t earn the tens of millions of dollars possibly on a day-to-day basis. Hell, even as we speak. From what I can understand, this is all about money.

What needs to happen is for AT&T to block Fox News for the good of their subscribers.

... then watch Net Neutrality come flying back into place with amazing fury.

Haha, I do hope that happens. Thanks for the chuckle man.

If I didn't know better I'd say they have something to hide.

Ajit Pai's FCC will reject any and all probes and questions into anything regarding net neutrality since they seem pretty decided on what they're gonna do at the vote next week. They've been callous towards anything pro-NN since the beginning.

Of course they do.

Ironically, the FCC's attempt to repeal net neutrality is called the "Internet Freedom Act". More like "Internet Freedom For ISPs To Fuck With Your Internet Act". Seriously, America, freedom for corporations to do what they want is NOT freedom for the people to do anything that they want and is legal

Will this affect me in the UK?

Do American ISP's operate in the UK, subject to American domestic law?

No. But it may or may not give some politicians ideas to do something similar.

I was asking about indirect effects as well. Btw, I am acutely aware that I use BT.

I've come across some brand new information from the telecom industry and the practices that have been recorded over the years and even though there might be some downsides, I've now become sufficiently satisfied with pro-net neutrality being the right position to take overall. In light of this, I'm now in favor of net neutrality.

I don't think Ajit Pai can be stopped from getting rid of it, but if people want it reestablished, I think their best bet is to simply get Democrats elected. All of the incumbents from both major parties that have donor or corporate sympathies getting voted out, that all definitely matters. Actual progressives and populists should be getting power across the board. We'd see quite a lot of interesting movement finally happen.

Well, if the UK doesn't have any Ajit Pais, they should be good.

My preferred form of government is still Fascism but not the type that most people think of so far as dictatorships go. For a while now, I've always had the desire for triangulation where I cherry pick what I like from the Left and Right of politics and combine it into one ideology.

If I had to choose, I think I'm an economic liberal but more of a social conservative. Even though I disagree with committing myself to being purely a far-left or far-right partisan. There is plenty that both do that I can't get behind. I don't want immigration for example. I don't want supply side economics. I can't comprehensively explain where I stand on everything, but people should get the idea.

Saiwania does this all the time. Unlike other posters, he's the sort of person who can change his mind if evidence is shown to him that supports the opposite view he holds.

That said, I am also pro-net neutrality, I just think the process would be better served by passing legislation that updates the Telecom Act of 1996 instead of lumping it under Title II. Title II is overly broad, and the telecom companies would end up relying solely on the political whim of the electorate to not see themselves fucked.

We all shift and ebb into our beliefs in all of those areas.

You're not the only one who holds disparate ideas as to how society and government should run tbh.

Agreed with that. Good net neutrality legislation is needed.

Good thing we have a reasonable thoughtful forward thinking Congress to help with that.

ING is referring to their ISP. That might not be the same for others.

Neutral, certainly don't agree with the ISP slowing websites down or outright banning them, but I don't exactly agree with the same speed for every website idea.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "the same speed for every website idea" here.

Same internet speed for each and every website which is part of internet nuetrality.

When has anyone actually called for that rather than just "no artificial slowdowns"?

It already exists in net neutrality which is why I have a problem with neat nuetrality. I rather just make companies create a minimal internet speed limit, so that they can not go below the speed they advertised.
