Why do you need to use the internet? And if it's only occasionally, drive down to your local library and use the public computers.


Its telling that someone in favor of this feels the need to tell someone else what they can and cant access, and how to access it.

Smells like freedom

So that you don't have to wait years to gather evidence and then sue a tech giant to get them to stop fricking the internet.


let's try this again.

1. laws existed BEFORE NN that stopped ISPs from throttling

2. NN was to stop them from throttling

3. Did the new laws suddenly make them follow the law?

seriously. this is like the criminals and guns argument.

The further the government gets away from the internet the better.

Last thing we need is a government firewall controlled by progressives that label everything as hate speech and conducts massive censorship.

So Comcast getting sued for throttling before NN never happened?


correct.

Comcast did not throttle traffic to specific sites and provide you an upgrade to get better speeds to such services.

Comcast is a great example of why government regulation is not needed. Here are the bullet points:
- Comcast was filtering torrent traffic
- customers got pissed
- Customers hit comcast in the bank accounts by spending money elsehwere
- Comcast was forced by the PEOPLE, not the government, to stop filtering torrent traffic.

anyone thinking comcast is the case study for why NN regulations are needed is apparently not paying attention to what actually happened.

Can you?!?! 'cause obviously you think you're more capable than a billionaire with a huge business empire. Being able to use proper grammar and structure a sentence are also useful!
