Can we not have drama mongering posts like this when nothings done yet?
The time is not for drama and sadness people.
The time is for ANGER. Anger and calling.
Do not let them hear the end of it.
EFF and Fight for the Future aren't giving up, and neither should you.

This is what I expected. TBH we should have just raised 150 million dollars and bought Pai.
How much is Verizon paying him?

To you it's not about money. Your values don't necessarily line up with most others'. A lot of the pro-NN discussion revolves around how hard it will hit the customer's wallet.
Maybe Google will finally get off their asses and starting building out their fiber network? I assume Google is on board with keeping the net neutral. That, or we just build our own ISPs and Internet apart and away from these traditional ISPs and conglomerates that care more about dividends than individuals.
Twitch and Youtube might not be fine for individuals of ISPs decide to charge people more for access to streaming video content or even just throttle or limit broadband access to those sites and cater more to their own streaming solutions.
What he really wants is that cushy lobbying job he'll have afterwards.
You can't buy something that isn't for sale.
Pai agreed to make himself Verizon's snuggle buddy when he agreed to sale his soul to them.
Yeah.. how much he make working for Verizon and how much will he gain?
He seems to me a man of little character and would likely take the larger pile of cash.
Let's not do that. This is an important as fuck topic. Let's not trivialize it with emo bullshit.
Listening to these chucklefucks joke about potatoes and cat videos while they get ready to destroy this thing is infuriating.
I am sure that this will happen. I'm sure the lawsuits will extend into the midterms (and that's probably by design).
He was a Verizon LAWYER. He's spent his career fighting things like... net neutrality. This is his crowning achievement.
Oh no... oh no... please let there not be a violent NN loving-madman, you'll ruin it for everyone. I hope everyone stays safe. I hope everyone is gonna be okay.
Not in the least. They were told to leave everything. All of them.
What's going on?
Uh, nobody should even be doing the former, let alone the latter.

Wonder how many of the people he name dropped there are actually in favor of repealing net neutrality? Felt like they were being used.
We shouldn't joke like this. This is clearly an evac. Like some said, could be a bomb threat. We do not know.
Much of the net neutrality argument revolves around money because its a more concise argument that is easier to understand for laymen. Explaining information control takes nuance and time. But the core issue is indeed information control and information control eventually manifests in monetary ways, because money and information go hand in hand.
Got it.
So ISP cos got caught screwing over customers, got stopped and now want to resume said screwing only this time pretending that it's for their own good.
Fucking hell.
The competition argument would work if your telecommunications industry wasn't a set of localised monopolies.
At least here in the UK if some joker of an ISP wanted to try this I have multiple providers of high speed fibre to the cab based services to choose from. Over there millions don't have that choice and thus be forced to take whatever ISP tell them. That's why they need to be regulated.
In the UK OFCOM has different levels of regulation based on how much competition in the area. Less competition leads to stricter rules to protect customers.
If they want to do the freedom but, put Title II for any customer who cannot choose their high speed internet.
