Im not your mother. She loves to pop those pills. U got the habit from your various uncles who would "visit" ma dukes for a few hours at a time.
I don't think Netflix and Google gonna let this shit ride out.
FCC board voted to repeal but it still has to go before Congress.
And I wonder how many of these cats doing all the pontificating have called their senators and congressman about this ?
How many have the 5 calls app on their phones or the Party of Lincoln app.
Exactly what are they going to do?
1 Embarrassing Photo Shuts Down Ted Cruz’s Argument Against Net Neutrality
That didn’t go so well for the Texas senator.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) on Thursday tried to mock supporters of net neutrality, the rule repealed by the FCC that had required Internet service providers to treat all traffic equally.
It didn’t go well.
Critics warn the repeal could lead to ISPs charging extra for access to certain websites or even block them completely.
Cruz had an imaginary argument in which the concerns of a “snowflake” are shut down by an “informed observer” such as himself:

Snowflake, believing online propaganda: "OMG w/o net neutrality, the Internet is gone!" Informed observer: "You know, the FCC issued that rule in 2015. The Internet grew up wonderfully free from govt regulation & this restores the status quo ante." Snowflake: "Uh, never mind..."
Journalist and historian Eoin Higgins fired back with a tweet that used just 10 words and a photo illustrating the kinds of traffic that could be slowed or stopped by ISPs:

Ted, let me put the issue as succinctly as possible.
The photo is a scene showing porn star Cory Chase in the hardcore flick “Moms Bang Teens 20,” which infamously earned a “like” from Cruz’s Twitter account earlier this year.
Cruz insisted the “like” was caused by a staffer with access to his account.
“It was an honest mistake, it wasn’t malicious, it wasn’t deliberate,” Cruz told CNN’s Dana Bash. “It was a screwup.”

Don't forget: Nothing Trump does will affect black folks. He's white people's problem.
I guess BGOL really is full of white folks. Apparently black ppl don't use the Internet. Or drink water. Or breath air.
Downloading movie and music torrents will be throttled down so much that it won t be worth it....the movie music and porn industry will pay money to the ISPs for that
Won't get too excited about this until after the 2024 election. Cause even if they run it through beforehand, one election cycle can blow it all up again.
FORTUNATELY THIS did not AGE well....
Cant stop sharing... We were born to CARE AND SHARE...LOL!!!
it aged fine. the ban got repealed before it could really take hold.FORTUNATELY THIS did not AGE well....
Cant stop sharing... We were born to CARE AND SHARE...LOL!!!
thats not with the post said tho....
it made a statement that didnt age well..
no matter how you remix it.... Dj Bishop X!!
What part of the title is not true? it was repealed when Trump was in office. alternative facts won't change that.
No I was quoting the statement...that.. internet downloading and the sharing of files would be slowed down, as the stand alone
statement it was...
if you are saying trump was standing with internet providers, then I wouldnt be surprised, Im sure there was a lot of donations,
made under the table to make that happen.
I do think we got lucky though. I think providers were going to slowly add those restrictions over time.
However, it was one of the few things liberals and conservatives could agree with. Trumpers like their porn too... Lol
It toooooo early in the internet game for us to be worried about that, because right now there is too much competition,
for data mining, you dont NEED to charge money to profit from internet service, you just need the best code to collect data...
and right now there is a major war going on and its going to be going on for awhile...
as long as our data is big business, we wont have to worry about over paying for internet service for at least a few
decades...
If verizon fiber optics takes over and becomes a thing... then yea worry about net neutr whatever the fuck its called...
but they aint even close, they fucked up the bag by getting to greedy and complacent... now tmobile is lookin at em like,
told ya we comin.... and you got many others venues like google etc...
too much competition to have to worry bout that shit for now... if anything you need to be more concern with protecting
YOUR DATA!!! but I aint even worried about that as long as it aint financial.. dont give a fuck what data they mine,
I dont have anything to hide... da fuck they gonna see on my hard drive.. best bud in NYC.. and big booty bitches bendin over...
like I give a fuck!!
This had nothing to do with data mining. This was about internet providers wanting to double dip in their pricing. They wanted to charge both their direct customers and any websites that access their lines. Plus, they also wanted to have complete control over what traffic could go over networks. They basically wanted to treat the internet like one big toll bridge. Don't pay the toll, can't use their roads. Small content providers were looking to take a major hit if this ever becomes a reality.
The competition among internet providers is actually quite limited depending on where you live.
