re: Remember in 2012 when websites were banned by your ISP

I remember getting banned on Twitter for defending our potus. I remember getting my account banned on fb for supporting trump. I remember a ton of magas on YouTube getting a lot of their content restricted. If NN didn't address the virtual brownshirts running twitter, fb and YouTube... then good riddance to Nn.

You clearly don't understand the difference b/w content and the gateway to content....

it's the same difference. If I block your ability to hold a sign, or make sure you cant make a sign...the end result is the same

dear god, if you don't like using google, then you can go to bing. Not so much with switching ISPs

wheeeee! You're actually saying that ISPs will refuse customers? now you're arguing companies, publicly traded btw, will choose LESS money. In direct contravention to corporate mission statements and fiduciary duties. seriously. stop. you're too stupid to have this argument.

if we have a free market but we don't

I would support it if it applied to the biggest social media platforms in the world, also.

I'm banned from twitter for going against a verified a-hole that spammed our potus.

I mean.. ya get banned from twitter, there's not exactly a lot of equal alternatives to go to. I think gab may have 5m users now?

Equal Fb alternatives are nonexistent.

Youtube? There's no comparable platform out there that's on the same level as youtube as far quality and audience are concerned.

Give me true net neutrality.. that is applied to not only isps, but the monopolies in social media also.

yeah, nobody else does either.

---

banned? no. but i remember when p2p sharing sites were being throttled and sued. i also remember when comcast/att pushed google fiber out of the game by locking them into litigation over pole rights and used google fibers downtime to install their own fiber

i also remember when comcast implemented data caps in areas without competition but not in areas with competition

Then you're not doing it right.

Limited.

People who take advantage of paid for bandwidth ruin it for everyone else with their "I'll sell you these hosted movies for a fee" clowns.

Yea let me set up my unlimited water supply fir "x" amount a month and create a car wash and let's see how long before I have to pay for taking advantage of my useage for me personal gain.

Poors ruin everything with their schemes on how to steal and take advantage of others.

So you think having over three hundred internet service providers in the U.S. is a "natural monopoly"??

There were 3,195 electric utilities in 1996.. and you want to talk about over three hundred ISPs
