Donald Trump is stepping into a minefield if he really does go after Net Neutrality and he will deserve the backlash for it.


It's a sad day in American when the federal government not getting between a company and their customers is considered interfering.

You people truly have brain disorders.

True or false - your ISP should have full legal authority to block your access to any website at their own discretion, devoid of any legitimate reason.

Since I have to go through this every fricking time, here goes nothing.

ISP have a created a patchwork of state and local laws which distort and destroy the free market for internet service. These big government policies at the state and local level have hugely benefited the ISPs at the cost of the customer.

Net neutrality is a regulation, which is generally a bad thing is not necessarily bad where there is no free market to destroy in the first place.

In a free market, you would have a point. However, ISPs are so intertwined with government that taking away net neutrality gives them exclusive access to frick consumers over. As an American, you have no recourse because the market has such high barriers to entrance.

Any other business, and I would agree 100% with you.

But unfortunately, ISPs have set up an oligopoly and there is very little chance of competition since they don't want to build out their networks over each other.

Since consumers don't have many ISP options, they need to be regulated.

ISP's are natural monopolies -- they need regulation. Comcast, for instance, is one of the greediest most corrupt companies in human history. They will do anything to make an extra buck and they know their customers are forced to take it in the arse.
