FCC to repeal Net Neutrality Bill

[Galloism]

And now people are now suing/fighting for NN.

I guess I don't understand the basis of the lawsuit. It appears to have passed the FCC board legitimately and with a majority, just as the original rules did.

I mean, it's stupid, but stupid is not the same as illegal.

[Major-Tom]

People panic as internet rules go back to what they were two years ago.

Point being? FCC rules towards the internet are definitely better now than they were years ago..

People are mad Gallo, they didn't get what they wanted. Obviously that's legal grounds for a lawsuit

Yeah certain people in the South didn't get want they wanted. They never should have sued in court to end things like bus segregation.

I haven't noticed a difference in anything, internet service or otherwise

I mean, "didn't get what I wanted" is the core basis of all lawsuits. I just don't see the legal justification.

Um that was a legitimate lawsuit, those laws whent against the constitution. This vote is not and has not been against the constitution and was legally carried out.

So nice strawman

I guess my joke was way too subtle. The "didn't get what I wanted" being the legal justification

And as the rules preventing the really shitty abuses that happened then vanish.

[Salandriagado]

Now they can fuck with even more of your money.

Yeah, what will we ever do now without the government putting in safeguards to protect against nonexistent practices.

You have been shown fully evidenced examples of said practices actually happening on at least three occasions that I have noticed. Stop. Lying.

Such as?

Eh? I wasn't posting in this thread until now.

Things that never happened.

My point was that these practices weren't widespread, and the hysterical screeching about net neutrality being ended is silly.

And why wouldn't they want to fuck more people out of there money?

I don't know. There were quite a few mega-corporations shilling to keep net neutrality.

[Lockdownn]

I love how NationStates of all websites refuses to do anything about bringing awareness or voicing their disapproval of this action.

This is far from the first thread on the subject.

I rarely participate in these threads. So please, go confuse me with someone else.

It has also come up in several Trump threads, where you do regularly post.

Do you follow me around or something? I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable here.

No, your point was about how abuses of power before Net Neutrality didn't happen, hence your choice of wording in "nonexistent."

And, really, it doesn't matter if it was widespread or not, it's happened more times than you think, and it'll happen again.

No, it's just that I have personally given you actual proof that your above claim is false more than once, and your lies are getting tiresome.

I doubt it. And if it's such a problem then find a new service provider. The beautiful thing about the free market is that you have options. And now you'll have more options.

I don't even remember you. And usually I'm good at remembering people, even long after they've forgotten me.

And net neutrality had nothing to do with Verizon or att stopping the practuce.

There are like a handful of service providers of equal (shit) quality, sometimes there's only one option because even though the guys across town can get FiOS, I can only get Comcast.

Curious.
