Holy shit this guy is playing with fire. Has he not seen the power the internet as a collective has lol? I mean, with groups like 4chan and Reddit who have been known to gang up for things like this, man. His entire life is about to be exposed (not that I endorse this but it will be pretty funny to watch).

I don't think he even knows what goes on the internet since he thinks doing stuff like this would not yield negative consequence to him and his cronies and Trump.

"Nothing's going to happen" you say.... You poor deluded fool.

Not a fool just not overly emotional about things I can't control

Without governmental protection we'll be at the mercy of corporations,

Because the government would never harm us

corporations who are not only not obligated in any way to listen or to respect its consumers, but actively profits from exploiting them.

That's a bit of an overreaction

Net Neutrality's essentially the helmet you wear when riding a motor bike. Maybe you'll never crash and you'll be fine, but who are we kidding here. You are likely to crash, and without the helmet your brain is spreading over the pavement.

That's a definite overreaction

All right.

So, explain me why they are changing the bill, if it is not going to change a damn thing?

It's not a bill. It's a rule change. Most sites will be unaffected, those that are will be video based sites and not text based. Besides it's never going to be as slow as dial-up

Lolis don't trigger SJW's. So 4chan doesn't care.

If anyone from 4chan can prove me wrong, do it.

Not the exact point I was gonna make, but sure this. Between continuing to be able to access their favorite sites without paying moronic fees (including 4chan itself) and supporting Trump, I'm pretty sure I know where they'll stand.

They won't have to pay anything to access 4chan as it's a text and image based site. The video based sites are the ones that will have a more noticeable difference. Also any fees created will be rolled into your total bill.

Capitalism, single-payer healthcare, pro-choice, LGBT rights, progressive personal taxation, low corporate tax, pro-business law, welfare for those in need.
