A post Net Neutrality America

[Chiang Kai-shek]

Since Ajit "Information Super highway shitter" Pai is gonna get his way next week figured it'd be a good time to ask. What will a post net neutrality America be like? How will it take to happen? Personally I think we're all shit out of luck. However I don't think KF is gonna bite the bullet, if someone wanted us gone and they had a lot of power we'd be gone by now. But what are your thoughts?

Remember when the entire world ended in 2012? I do.

It was pretty horrifying.

How it was before net neutrality rules in 2015.

Honestly, I think everything will be fine. Its just a bump in the road. I've said this before in the news thread about this ruling, but it will be a while before the effects of the ruling kick in. Contracts have to be drawn up and decisions have to be made about what happens to current customers. Or its possible the ISPs have been planning this shit in the background for a while and already have the plans drawn up and will start ASAP. I think its gonna be mostly the former with a little bit of the latter.

How it was before net neutrality.

I don't think there was a before. But you might want to look at the usenet days pre widespread access to it. Very similar to today, but with normies learning the rules or being scared off.

Pretty good. There was net neutrality. Do you even know what that means?

Exactly, but what does access to technology have to do with ISPs slowing down shit from competitors?

It means the government has their dick further in internet affairs, and if it were to go full cuck, would shut us down before any company who only cares about the money.

It'll be shit... Just like how current TV is. Trust me.

You're already living in it.

Pai is trying to bring net neutrality back.

I just hope the attention of the public at large in the US will be brought to the real issue before it becomes a problem: That the ISPs are so deep in the pockets of legislators and have set up enough red tape around them, that the free market is not in effect in the ISP domain.

I doubt even that will change the designated internet shitter Pai's decision.

If anything, I doubt he'll change it unless several of his own peers begin complaining about ISPs charging them too much money. And even then Pai's head is so up his ass that he'll probably just laugh them off.

During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

Slowly and subversively give a handful of major corporations control of most of the modern internet and no one bats an eye. Write a bill, making it official and everyone loses their minds. Obviously this bill is a terrible thing, but it's been 30% through the door for the past 5 years.

If one uses the wrong pronouns, or if a guy says "hi" to a girl without her consent, the Internet Police may show up.

Spoiler

But seriously, it's quite possible there won't be be too much a difference.

It'll be fine.

With Net Neutrality, big ISPs wouldn't be able to get a investment return on their $10 to $20 billion fiber upgrades and maintenance, so this is a good thing. I remember recently I tried to post this on a certain forum, and everyone sperged out and said it was just because "corporations are greedy", and not because ISPs (small and large) would lose money if they tried to upgrade their networks for higher traffic capacity. Either that, or they insisted about slow lanes, which will not happen, I can tell you that. TCP/IP is hard to manipulate that way on a wide scale.

That, and Net Neutrality's main supporter is a Marxist-leaning organization (Free Press). I cannot get behind that.

 

[Autopsy]

Just glad it's over and that websites will knock it off with the "SAVE THE INTERNET" signalling.
The COICA threat is real and ever-present and I'm not sure why they thought expending all of their credibility on Net Neutrality (of all things!) was a good idea.

Shanna, they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash.

My friend going to try to kill Trump, his family and blow up the White House (without big scary guns mind you); all because he can't accesses his precious fap material. Lol.

Improvised EMP devices can probably serve as a corrective to bad behavior by ISPs.
