It's a purely internal matter. No concern of the UN.

The UN isn't that stupid, and there'd be far more outrage if they actually were trying something like that.

I can't read the UN's brand of legalese.

You should always read them together with the relevant treaties to know what's what.

Because the UN doesn't give a shit about NN.

Because the nations of the UN that give a shit about Net Neutrality are probably in the minority, so if any of them made a resolution to that effect then it wouldn't pass.

As we all know, the years before 2015 without net neutrality saw the deaths of millions of people. It was only by the grace of our lord and savior Obama that this carnage was halted.

He isn't swinging his dick around. He is recognizing reality. Israel controls Jerusalem. Their President works in Jerusalem. Their Prime Minister works in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the seat of the Knesset. It's the seat of their Supreme Court. Jerusalem is, in every fucking way possible, the capital of Israel. The UN choosing to ignore reality doesn't make it any less a reality.

If recognizing Jerusalem is about 'reality', why doesn't the US recognize Somaliland?

I'd like to point out that Net Neutrality rules were being enforced prior to 2015, but Verizon successfully sued circa 2010 (I think) to force the FCC to either reclassify them as common carriers or GTFO. In 2015, they went with the former.

Also, bad stuff did happen when ISPs didn't feel like being net-neutral.

Between NK's threats and Haley's threats, and the name-calling match between Trump and Un, I wouldn't be surprised if the news gets us confused eventually.
