Trump took her away from me.

I read on Reddit that this won't be real good.

I think I'm gonna wanna just leave this world.

Not less because in purple I descended
The western day through what you called
The loneliest air, not less was I myself.

What was the ointment sprinkled on my beard?
What were the hymns that buzzed beside my ears?
What was the sea whose tide swept through me there?

Out of my mind the golden ointment rained,
And my ears made the blowing hymns they heard.
I was myself the compass of that sea:

I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw
Or heard or felt came not but from myself;
And there I found myself more truly and more strange.

Surely you realize a website like TD never comes to exist in a world without net neutrality? I can't argue for or against title II but the web will be a much different place without net neutrality.

You don't understand the difference between net neutrality and Title II status. It's ok. The internet has been classified as an information service and as a Title II common carrier public utility over time but rules that ISPs must honor the principles of net neutrality have always been in place. Until today's vote that is.

ETA: today we returned from Title II to information service status but for the first time ever ISPs do not have to honor net neutrality.

The internet was here long before NN in 2015.

Just so everyone knows we have had NN for 2 years.

He’s actually correct.

Explain how he’s wrong.

At what point in time before today were ISPs allowed to prioritize traffic, data, content, platforms, etc?

Well for starters.. this would be legal..

https://money.cnn.com/2014/08/29/technology/netflix-comcast/index.html

In February, Netflix reluctantly agreed to pay Comcast to directly connect to its network. Prior to the direct connect, Netflix delivered its videos to Comcast customers via third parties, including Cogent Communications (CCOI). But Comcast customers experienced abysmal Netflix speeds -- among the worst in the country.

Netflix speeds became so slow in December 2013 and January 2014 that customers grew irate, Netflix said in its petition. Calls made to Netflix's customer support center about slow-loading videos more than quadrupled during those months.

"For many subscribers, the bit rate was so poor that Netflix's streaming video service became unusable," the company said. "Some of them canceled their Netflix subscription on the spot, citing the unacceptable quality of Netflix's video streams and Netflix's inability to do anything to change the situation."

Surely you're bright enough to agree that Comcast throttling netflix but allowing full-access to their own streaming platform is a bad thing for consumers?
