but once Comcast has that packet, it can treat it in any way it feels
because without net neutrality, a consumer ISP could decide a open a new business model by saying "lets charge the website themselves for the bandwidth their users consume"
send off a ton of bills to facebook, google, yahoo, bing, and all the other websites
obviously they see it as a joke and dont pay the bill
so their service gets limited to 2mbps
so any facebook packet, or google packet or whatever as soon as it hits comcast's network, gets slowed to 2mbps
In the end, we will have to obfuscate and encrypt traffic.
encrpytion wouldnt matter at that point
Tor
sure, something that hides the url you are trying to connect to
but you could just throttle all tor traffic
regardless of source or destination
Yeah, throttle with whitelisting.
but this already sounds like a longer fight
when its far easier to just stop it 😛
I'm still evaluating my position in NN after being a big supporter years ago, but this stuff http://www.dailywire.com/news/24009/net-neutrality-protesters-target-fcc-chairmans-hank-berrien crosses a line for me.
When people bring those who have nothing to with an issue in, especially their opponents family, I lose all respect for them.
When you become known as the guy who fucked everyone's internet, you better have bodyguards 24/7.
That's the problem with being on the same side of an issue with leftist sociopaths
^ I'm generally really conservative on some things, but I don't think this should have to become another "conservative v.s. liberal" issue.
I don't think it's very liberal to say that access to information is something people should receive equally.
And it really worries me that some people assume they don't need to speak up because someone else will do it for them, that's how these kinda things get made into laws.
This was a fcc regulation
I'm not just talking about America.
But the FCC killing net neutrality would definitely set a precedent.
Wut
The fcc made nn in the first place
The internet exists in other countries and they have their own stances on it.
America would influence that if they removed it themselves.
How do you think people would react if the FCC succeeds?
They already did.
It was wrong when the fcc created a regulation on isp without congressional legislation in the first place
It is just righting itself
And the FCC chairman wasn't even elected, right?
Just appointed by Drumpf.
Are you even serious
Ajit Pai is the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. He was designated Chairman by President Donald J. Trump in January 2017. He had previously served as Commissioner at the FCC, appointed by then-President Barack Obama and confirmed unanimously by the United States Senate in May 2012.
How is that- not serious?
>Unironicly saying Drumpf
i'm not anti trump at all, i just said it because it was once his family surname [but never his name]
i don't ride his dick or anything but he's not the "worst president ever"
