The Net Neutrality - SonicZetrex - 12-13-2017
Guys...it's happening. And I mean it's actually happening...

And also, this is only just a quick poll to see whether you will finally support the right thing (in which everyone is) or will you see how the internet falls into place with FCC's control on brutality.
Please save the internet.. Because, this can affect you and can affect everyone. And I hope you'll get this before it's voting time...

If I'm not wrong, if the "Net Neutrality" gets axed, ALL our usual activities that involve the Internet itself will get axed or severely limited. Regardless, someone in the FCC seriously needs to get their head examined.

At this point, I think we will lose. It's already too late for me to send emails. I wouldn't be suprised if ISPs take subtle steps after removing net neutrality.

I think some of the fears about net neutrality ("repealing net neutrality rules will destroy the Internet!") are overblown. ISPs already do some things that arguably violate current net neutrality rules (one random example). However, the FCC's proposal to scrap net neutrality rules would obviously embolden ISPs to do other things that are clearly prohibited by current rules.
I'm afraid that repealing net neutrality rules could stifle innovation and hamper the online experience, especially in areas where ISP competition is limited. In a lot of places, people only have one or two ISPs to choose from, so people can't switch to a competitor if their ISP does something they don't like.
