I agree. Net neutrality really won't hurt F.A.A.N.G. They are too big at this point and ISPs need them too much. Can you imagine the outrage if Amazon decided it wasn't to go work on Comcast? People would instantly side with Amazon.
Democracy hard at work. It's pretty amazing we have zero say in what the government does.
I am lost for words
Their net revenue will go down with this.. or am I missing the big picture
I was trying to explain it to my mom yesterday. Her response was nobody would try and do that it makes no sense, you probably have the facts wrong from your liberal blogs.
welp.
/pol/ isn't representative of 4chan, the same way The Donald isn't representative of reddit. The majority of 4chan supports net neutrality.
Bribery laws have a statue of limitation of 5 or 7 years I think. 2021 would be too late to start investigations.
Gotcha..
It just doesn't make sense. The logical outcome is that many won't be able to have full internet like before. Therefore, their revenue will indeed lower overall. The internet will be a luxury..
Why support such a terrible move?
I mean, your say is through your representative, and whomever you voted for as President. That is democracy at hand.
Because no government in any world is gonna ever function if it has to cater to EVERY SINGLE interest
What's wrong with being "1930s utility"? Are they gonna bundle tap water to Coca Cola next because it's too "1930"?
Is there anything Obama hasn't ruined? We should all be cheering from our rooftops that our beloved ISPs will have the opportunity to increase value for their shareholders.
That's pretty hilarious since anti net neutrality is the antithesis to this.
At the expense of HUMANITY'S PROGRESS.
Oh cosmic forces, please disintegrate these money-whoring monkey men(is there anything more base and instinct than hoarding value at the cost of the greater good?)off of the fucking planet so we can actually move humanity forward.
History will not remember these men well. People a thousand years from now will see these types as rabid animals incapable of grasping basic morality.
Because Google is a pretty shitty company who is expanding into being an ISP and could use that as levity to keep people on Google Platforms and charge more to use others?
Because Facebook and google hold a metric shit ton of valuable data that could be sold to these companies as leverage to be zero rated?
To Republicans, freedom in America is allowing corporations to take advantage of average citizens.
This is what will destroy the United States. There are simply far too many people who either don't know what's happening, don't care what's happening because their side is "winning", or are actively distorting what's happening to ensure that their side stays "winning".
The course we're on is unsustainable and only ends in ruination.
I hate Comcast and any NBC owned company. They are a shit internet provider.
Then NBC also owns The Golf Channel (and GolfNow) and they made a lot of predatory shitty moves in the golf industry that destroyed a lot of revenue for smaller golf courses and operators. They fucked a lot of businesses over so they could make more money for doing almost nothing.
They are the most predatory company I have ever dealt with in my life. They don't give a shit about the customers or the markets they shit all over.

Not necessarily, I can think of a few ways that the removal of net neutrality will benefit Google:
- The removal of net neutrality could have an entrenchment effect - it is harder for upstarts to steal market share from large corporations if the large corporations have the resources to barter with ISPs for preferential treatment.
- Google is also an ISP thanks to Google Fibre
I think you have it backwards, Comcast owns NBC. Took over a few years ago.
Right but most people don't want this, but ultimately we have zero choice in the decision other than to be loud about it.
It's funny about all of these ISP's and expansions he brings up, as though the big Isp's want that to happen.

They use this strategy all the time. "Obamacare is preventing you from being able to access affordable insurance"... uhhh, not it's not
Pretty much. They've figured out their constituents like it when they lie to them.
They don't like being lied to, most people just don't or can't understand the issue. No one likes being lied too.
The hell is going on

then most of those people should have voted for someone that wouldn't have put this a-hole in the ftc chair. remember, this guy was confirmed by the senate
He's making up bullshit claiming that net neutrality didn't exist before 2014. Hes a disingenuous liar.
The Internet should be a utility like water, electricity, garbage disposal, etc that is protected from the things that will happen if Net Neutrality is repealed, as the mobile companies do for various media services not counting against their data cap if the service pays for it. It's not hard.
Part of me wonders the fact that he's making his argument means he has to climb a hill to pass it. He could just be quiet and pass it if he had full support.
Let me guess:
Russians, on behalf of the Trump administration, are running bots to make fake Anti Net Neutrality submissions?
Or Maybe Ajit himself is running the operation?
Wouldn't surprise me. Everyone associated with Donald Trump are insidious pieces of garbage.
there was a big thread on this on the old place months ago. People were finding when they went to leave a comment that someone had already submitted a chain letter in support of removing net neutrality using their identity
And then changed their minds a month later.

LOOOOL
Okay, jerk, if you want to sell people "internet plans" so adamantly, just be sure to research how television turned out before you repeat history.
> TV had ads to pay for costs, people got annoyed with them.
> Cable companies offered customers "premium" payment plans to have channels without ads, in their own little packages.
> The channels weren't making enough money, reinstated commericals (see Disney Channel).
> Ads slowly gained more runtime than the programming that the consumers wanted to watch.
> People dropped their premium subscriptions.
> The companies get pissed and start charging more.
> More people drop TV and/or use piracy as a result. Or they only support services such as Netflix and HBO.
> General TV is dying off, and so the subscription services are becoming the new norm. Commercial break lengths are at an all-time high and shows are putting ads inside of them (such as a character specifically drinking from a Coke can).
How long before the internet sites goes through that same cycle? Don't be lying to people and say "it's good for them".
