The best part of that non knowledge is that CNN/Time Warner & NBC/Comcast who have the largest networks own mostly liberal news media which means Fox News, Infowars, Brietbart are about to become very expensive to view and that's hilarious.

Net neutrality has been on the chopping block for quite awhile unfortunately. I mean we should consider ourselves lucky it lasted as long as it did considering the FCC has basically just been a cable industry lobbyist stashing zone for the last decade. Even Wheeler was a lobbyist for them and only turned because he actually cared about how people perceived him (not a dingo).
And lol at the Hillary shills acting like they give a shit about this issue. You gonna let the class know how some of Hillary's largest donors are cable companies like Comcast? These cable companies don't give a shit about red or blue, all they care about is more green. Only way to stop them is to throw their cronies out of leadership roles on both sides of the aisle. |

I believe net neutrality is just a censorship-by-proxy regulation that makes it easier for pro-NN companies to do business (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc.) by banning ISPs from being able to throttle or charge them for fast lanes, thereby giving them an unfair advantage over companies who could compete in a free market.
So I'm okay with this. |

It is because ISPs are the ultimate gatekeeper. Reddit, YouTube, Pornhub, these are all just addresses on a registry that the ISPs control (note search engines are the next "step down" in power from ISPs). They can choose what you see and how fast that information gets to you. If net neutrality was to be removed, they would be able to decide (usually because they are paid large sums of money) which businesses succeed and which businesses you can't even open the webpages for. It allows them to extort internet companies for a place at the "decent service" table. In many cases there are not more options available.
Imagine if someone owned all the roads in a city and were able to charge people for proceeding on these roads at a decent pace. There are no alternative roads, so you are forced to use these ones to get to work/school. If the owners of these roads charge you an absurd sum to use them, how are you to refuse? You can't. How about if they charge your company as well so that their employees can get to work on time? How about another charge for deliveries, etc. They are now able to financially massacre you, your employers, and anyone else who has any connection with those roads at all. They have the power to choose which businesses succeed and which businesses fail.
As for ISPs abusing their power...Their is ample evidence of them already breaking the law in regards to net neutrality and they have routinely broken the law to aid the US government in spying on it's citizens. I don't think anyone has any doubt giving ISPs such power would lead to astronomical abuse.(edited 1 day ago)Ellesarien posted...Trump Cult will slurp this down like always.

No, I'm arguing that the monetary incentive which pro-NN companies gain from this possibly facilitates their own enthusiastic censorship.
That "argument" is literally gibberish. There is no such "monetary incentive", and to think there could be shows you don't have the first clue what net neutrality even is. And you also seem to not know what censorship is.
Not being throttled and charged for fast lanes is a significant monetary incentive. The companies could lose hundreds of millions without net neutrality (there's a lot of ISPs).

I believe net neutrality is just a censorship-by-proxy regulation that makes it easier for pro-NN companies to do business (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc.) by banning ISPs from being able to throttle or charge them for fast lanes, thereby giving them an unfair advantage over companies who could compete in a free market.
So I'm okay with this.
Censorship would be allowing ISPs, who have in many areas monopolies on service, the ability to choose which sites they devote resources to and which they do not.
You can't call for the free market to handle something when a free market does not exist for ISPs. That is the whole reason for classifying them as utilities in the first place.
Interested in seeing you answer the above dilemma to.
I don't understand the scapegoating of ISPs, since all the fearmongering about throttling abuses are purely hypothetical and I'm more concerned about the censorship that already exists, and affects me.
It is because ISPs are the ultimate gatekeeper. Reddit, YouTube, Pornhub, these are all just addresses on a registry that the ISPs control (note search engines are the next "step down" in power from ISPs). They can choose what you see and how fast that information gets to you. If net neutrality was to be removed, they would be able to decide (usually because they are paid large sums of money) which businesses succeed and which businesses you can't even open the webpages for. It allows them to extort internet companies for a place at the "decent service" table. In many cases there are not more options available.
Imagine if someone owned all the roads in a city and were able to charge people for proceeding on these roads at a decent pace. There are no alternative roads, so you are forced to use these ones to get to work/school. If the owners of these roads charge you an absurd sum to use them, how are you to refuse? You can't. How about if they charge your company as well so that their employees can get to work on time? How about another charge for deliveries, etc. They are now able to financially massacre you, your employers, and anyone else who has any connection with those roads at all. They have the power to choose which businesses succeed and which businesses fail.
As for ISPs abusing their power...Their is ample evidence of them already breaking the law in regards to net neutrality and they have routinely broken the law to aid the US government in spying on it's citizens. I don't think anyone has any doubt giving ISPs such power would lead to astronomical abuse.
I don't agree with ISPs being the bigger gatekeeper. You can always switch to another ISP, even if you have to move, but someone demonetize on youtube or banned from twitter is being deprived on a platform with practically a monopoly on content distribution in its own sphere, and necessarily losing out on many many opportunities.Argonian_Maid posted...EuroKnight38 posted...

I dont consider that abuse, though. That sounds like Silicon Valley being forced to compete in a free market. If ISPs started using throttling to damage small businesses or control content, that to me would be abusive.

So you're against The Free Market(tm) when it comes to the internet? Because those sites being popular is just the free market at work.
And you're in favor of the government allowing corporations to pick winners and losers, and to allow them to blackmail the losers by forcing them to pay extra money or die via throttled web traffic?
And not to mention the ISPs will charge us, the consumer, extra fees on top of all that if we want to access those 'loser' sites.

I have multiple ISPs here. I can't really imagine ISPs using their throttling powers to irresponsibly to censor content. There's already so much public outcry over merely repealing net neutrality, that the first time someone does something really authoritarian, people will instantly be upset about it.
Comparatively, people seem to either be silent about social media censorship or actively okay with it. That upsets and disturbs me. When you consider how net neutrality is in these companies' best interests, by banning ISPs from using throttling to essentially extort them, I become skeptical of the whole plan. I can probably admit that some form of throttling regulation would be reasonable, but it concerns me that my own free speech rights seem to be thrown aside as less important.And I can't imagine a madfoot post that isn't profoundly stupid and wrong.Orlando City/USA Soccer

The problem with NN, particularly in its current form, is that is stifles competition at the ISP level. Heavy regulations that are put on utilities (and now ISPs) virtually guarantee no additional competition will enter the market. Also, it stifles new ideas on how to save consumers money.
For example, say a company has a plan to provide access to Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube at high enough speeds to guarantee 1080P or 4K Streaming, but you agree to have 5mbps for everything else. This could lower a customer's bill while still allowing for the services they desire. That is not something that can be done with NN in place.
People always assume the worst, but the free market will eventually sort itself out. If a company is doing something horrifically bad, bad press and losing customers will affect them. Net neutrality only existed for the past 5ish years in law, but ISPs had never taken massive advantage of it before, because a competitor could enter their market and take their market share."In science as in love, too much concentration on technique can often lead to impotence." -P.L.

This really has nothing to do with my argument whatsoever, and is just a strawman.
In any case, black people hardly built the US. Very few people, even in the South, owned slaves. Agriculture was hardly the backbone of the US anyway, as the Industrial Revolution moved us forward significantly, which was mainly a Northern phenomena. If you are speaking of the Chinese and the railroads, there is a reason so many came to the US to work, because it was worse in China. That doesn't excuse the way they were treated, but that certainly didn't stop them from coming here in droves.
All of that is to say, the US was certainly not "built on the backs of slave labor", to say that is showing total ignorance of US history."In science as in love, too much concentration on technique can often lead to impotence." -P.L.

That was a natural extension of the changing of the economy, and led to the rise of unions, which is the free market answer to these issues. There are times when unions take things to far, to the detriment of the company, and ultimately their members (see the UAW); nevertheless, unions are there to balance out these issues. Child labor laws may be a legitimate government regulation.

Well, we are the longest running democracy in history without a change in government. We have the most powerful military in the world by a pretty huge margin.

It's a bit of a leap to go from "powerhouse" to "greatest country in the history of the world." The point is, it's not as simple as just "capitalism!" There are many factors to consider.
Well, we are the longest running democracy in history without a change in government. We have the most powerful military in the world by a pretty huge margin.

Native Americans died of disease and a series of wars waged between both sides over the course of several centuries. Slavery was evil, but that alone doesn't discount from the rest of Wyld's post.EuroKnight39 posted...Apparently I was suspended for arguing against net neutrality. Bewildering.
Wait, surely Eroknight39 and Euroknight38 aren't the same person, right?"Hodor" -HodorWydileie2000 posted...The problem with NN, particularly in its current form, is that is stifles competition at the ISP level. Heavy regulations that are put on utilities (and now ISPs) virtually guarantee no additional competition will enter the market. Also, it stifles new ideas on how to save consumers money.
For example, say a company has a plan to provide access to Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube at high enough speeds to guarantee 1080P or 4K Streaming, but you agree to have 5mbps for everything else. This could lower a customer's bill while still allowing for the services they desire. That is not something that can be done with NN in place.
People always assume the worst, but the free market will eventually sort itself out. If a company is doing something horrifically bad, bad press and losing customers will affect them. Net neutrality only existed for the past 5ish years in law, but ISPs had never taken massive advantage of it before, because a competitor could enter their market and take their market share.
If you're right, that would still only be applicable to more populated areas though. There are still parts of rural America that have no access to any broadband internet, and many more that really only have one choice. People in these places are more vulnerable to being exploited by ISPs as the cost of laying new infrastructure versus the relatively small number of potential customers makes it unlikely that new competitors will move in. In some cases even if a competitor wants to move in they can still be blocked by local governments if they refuse to provide "right of way" access.
In urban areas there's more of an opportunity for competition to prevent abuses by ISPs. However, I still can't help but feel uneasy about it. Even in those places you have oligopolies at best, because the barrier to entry for any new competitor is very high. Direct collusion is of course illegal, but broadband providers in major cities would still be in a good position to throttle parts of the internet if they feel confident their few competitors will do so as well. It could work out fine as you say (depending especially on how fast Google can expand into more areas), but I don't think it's a given.Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.Mr_Church1313 posted...Genericgamer667 posted...
seriously, do the trumpanzeees know that net providers can throttle their favorite sites too?
The best part of that non knowledge is that CNN/Time Warner & NBC/Comcast who have the largest networks own mostly liberal news media which means Fox News, Infowars, Brietbart are about to become very expensive to view and that's hilarious.
And I can't wait for that to happen just to see the looks on all of those dumb, Trump supportin' faces.

Hope Frieza doesn't chuck an Iceberg at the Goku, otherwise it's all over. -NekoslashWhy would providers block pro trump sites when his administration gave them the keys to the kingdom? Their so called "liberal" networks are hot air or only slightly less sensationalist or racist than Fox News at best, as well. They actually promoted Trump, giving him nothing but free coverage while estranging the likes of Ron Paul(Who I also don't like, but still.). They have been stocked with corporatist assholes behind the scenes for some time, despite any token rhetoric. They still pretend the elections are real as opposed to reality programming/social engineering, and tell the peasants to put their support behind another corporatist puppet like Hilary. So that the corporatist model is always pushed forward regardless.
Comcast is particularly awful, I see them jizzing in their pants and slurping Trump's penis under his desk because of this.
Though the trump cheerleaders probably won't retain the more uncensored versions they cherish so dear, and I hear demands of actual ID registry coming.
Sylph posted...In a way, this would just pave the way for Google to make real inroads in working to oust Comcast and Verizon finally in this arena. When Google is the only one not throttling speeds and charging extra, I think we will see an expansion happen there.
Google are compromised toadies who give your info to Intelligence such as the NSA, I would not count on them to be saviors, I would count on them to be agents, just as they are in China. Don't buy any old ironic marketing slogans like "Don't be evil.". They will also back down from shit providers like Comcast when told.(edited 22 hours ago)All you have would to do to convince Trumpanzees and Deplorables to oppose ending Net Neutrality is to remind them that Ajit V.

I'm sure Americans will be positively thrilled when their ISP charges a premium price for the "privilege" of using other internet services they already pay for, like Netflix.
Now this has me wondering..... what does this mean for large downloads of games?
I was just thinking about that recent HUGE PC update for DOOM which is about 35 GB.... wouldn't net neutrality cause a HUGE problem like making data caps a LOT more strict?
Yup.
It would be a deathblow to digital gaming.
Not only would it destroy / severely harm digital gaming, but physical games would also be in the shit hole.
For example, if you buy a physical game which has a patch and / or DLC or something else which happens to be a certain amount of GB to download, this could be a HUGE problem if the data cap is set at a horrendous limit.Creator of the most talked about 500 post topic on the Wii U board, the most populated board on Gamefaqs. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/631516-wii-u/72708411zzeennoolloo posted...Ellesarien posted...

This is one of the main reasons why I stick to retro gaming. You didn't have patches and DLC back then and generally didn't need them, as most devs back then actually made sure the games were actually finished before they released them and focused a lot more on single-player along with local multiplayer which doesn't need the internet.Awww, isn't that cute?

You'll probably see a rise of Retro Gaming (Particularly from Gens 3 to 6), too, as most retro games don't rely on online (And the ones that did had their servers shut down long ago), and were actually finished before being released. They tend to be of better quality, more fun and have more replay value than most modern games anyways.Awww, isn't that cute?

I also retro game as well, I've been playing games since the 8-bit Sega Master System (I was playing Breakers, which was originally a Neo Geo MVS arcade game, on Sega Dreamcast this morning. Great game, I highly recommend it if you enjoy 2D one-on-one fighting games).
The problem is that because games tend to be much more complex to make these days due to various reasons, they pretty much have to release stuff like patches. Granted, there are LAZY efforts where a company will purposely rush out a broken product that needs a patch or else the game is an unplayable glitch fest from hell (Assassin's Creed: Unity comes to mind) but sometimes they will release the game with good intentions thinking they released a glitch-free product and later on after the release will find a serious glitch that the play testers never found and will need to release a patch for it (That one major glitch in Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword comes to mind. Nintendo was legit shocked they missed it after extensively play testing that game. They released a patch for it).
Point I'm trying to make is that for big budget modern games (especially for games that are hours upon hours long) patching is essential these days.
