The incessant whining and crying by pro-NN folks, coupled to the support for NN by entities like Google have persuaded me.

Glad to see you vote out of spite instead of, you know, the actual issues at hand

Agreed. Then start deconstructing the ISP monopolies propped up by government regulations.

I somewhat agree with your position.

NN supporters are so incessantly for it, they don't even remotely consider the drawbacks of having gov't regulated internet.

I guess it's similar with most topics that people are emotional about, but I've never seen such hate and condescension spewed over a product.

I've admitted I'm torn on the issue. I see the pros and cons of both sides, but the pro NN people are awfully unnerving. They're so quick to promote this tiered internet Boogeyman it leads me to believe we've all.been duped and the answer may ly on the other side.

Dumb asses Verizon and att put it out there they are going to censor what they deem “alt right “ hate speech once this is repealed because it’s bad for business

Corporations should not be able to censor information from anyone

Dec 14 let them know what’s up

As much as I normally hate Google’s politics, theh have good reason to be pro-NN. Most tech companies should be in favor of it.

If internet service providers decide to charge extra for access to Google or Gmail, the ISP isnt going to be sharing a cut of that extra fee with Google and Google will end up with fewer users because a lot of people wont pay extra for it.

If people had to pay an extra $5 a month on their internet bill to access certain social media websites, those sites would lose a ton of users because a lot of people wouldnt pay for it. So of course Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat would be in favor of NN

Just to ease everyone’s mind on getting rid of NN. A few days ago I disputed a charge on my cox bill. After asking for a supervisor and getting everything straight I asked him what he thought about NN. He said that it’s a good thing they’re about to get rid of it and it will only be good for their customers.

If you really think this, you have no idea what you're asking for. That "whining" is the sound of people trying to protect you (and everyone else) and your rights. But, hey, why don't you go ahead and pay your ISP an extra $50 per month just 'cause.
