Why don't you tell me how DS going down has absolutely nothing to do with net neutrality

Net neutrality is an attempt to regulate content. It's disguised as something else but in the end it's about control.

Net neutrality is literally the exact opposite of trying to regulate content and has nothing to do with this discussion.

Net neutrality is ISPs (read: not hosting providers or domain registrars, which is the problem here) treating every bit and byte that passes through their networks the same, regardless of volume, point of origin, and destination.

For this issue to be a net neutrality issue, you would need Comcast to say that they would not tolerate Daily Stormer traffic on their networks and block it from reaching their customers even though it's asscessible on the Internet.


This is different. This is multiple companies freely deciding they do not want to offer domain registration for the website, citing their T&C

The hilarious part is this is an example of the kind of stuff what the anti-net neutrality folks want. Their assertion to the concerns of the net neutrality proponents is that someone in the market will always provide the service so regulation is unneeded.

FREE MARKET! WHOOOOOOOOOO. YAY CAPITALISM.
