Please, please sign this, it will determine the future of the entire internet, whether it be a free internet for everyone or one dominated by companies who want nothing more than to control you.
Not to undermine the importance of this, but it seems like the internet collectively freaks out over this every 3 months. Then, itâs âBut itâs different this timeâ, rinse and repeat for the last 5 years. Why is this time different?
Edit: I donât mean to sound harsh or anything, just genuinely wondering why this time is so âdifferentâ.
Yeah, youâre not wrong. The government has been trying this shit for years. What makes them think itâll pass this time
If the cable companies try to shit you over every few months, you must fight back every few months. You donât, they eventually win.
I support what ComCast is doing. Having a company to control what to do on the Internet is needed for the Internet, the internet have no limts and it can be very dangerous. ComCast wants people to be more safe in the internet. Its like SOPA but its has more freedom and more safety for people.
You may wanna read more up on this then. This can only end badly and will completely destroy the internet
Maybe its time for a new internet.
If you want your internet slow, censored, unfair and behind ten different paywalls, maybe it is
What vtipoman said. This wouldnât be a new internet, itâd be the end of the internet
If it becomes the new internet or will become a disaster, I think we are better off without the internet. I think we should all take a break from the internet.
This game is 100% reliant on the internet? I have absolutely no clue whatâs going on in your mind.
i donât really understand you. Am I supposed to take you seriously?
Meth is a hell of a drug.
I think we should all take a break from the internet.
Take a break from the greatest collective of free information available to mankind? Okay.
P.S. Youâre using the internet.
Also, you should know that with âmore freedomsâ they mean more freedoms for cable network companies to screw with the consumers, not more freedom for the consumers.
And end of net neutrality would give absolutely zero benefits to the consumers, the profit would entirely go to huge cable companies.
A little bit more in detail, net neutrality makes sure that cable companies do not go out of their way to censor things they donât like in order to make a buck out of it. So they can block access to services of their competitors, or make them run extremely poorly, unless you pay up. By the way, the same way they could censor political articles with alternative opinions which they donât like. And guess what, with the end of net neutrality, all of this would become possible.
I think I got something wrong there because I didnât consider that ISPs in the US agreed on some no competition act so they can provide crappy internet for ridiculous prices, meaning that itâs unclear what competition is meant here.
This is like, the most basic shit you get taught when you find out about the whole net neutrality debacle
Meth is a hell of a drug.
Not even once.
I absolutely despise these cable companies for trying to end Net neutrality, they want to essentially ruin the internet for the sake of more money. Itâs absolutely disgusting.
Okay letâs just assume for a second that Comcast is actually trying to make the internet safer for consumers. What about removing Net Neutrality makes you think that itâll affect the safety of the Internet? The only thing this accomplishes is the ability for cable companies to throttle the Internet for anyone who wonât pay. For instance, you want to visit Netflix, but Comcast hasnt made a deal with them? Youâre either outta luck or youâll need to pay a premium to access Netflix. Nothing about that sounds âsaferâ to me
I support what ComCast is doing.
Are you talking about something in specific? On the linked page I cannot find anything that particular company is doing except from a Streaming thing which doesnât appear relevant to your context.
Having a company to control what to do on the Internet is needed for the Internet
The Internet is the Internet because this is not the case. I could present you with a totalitarian scenario but Iâll just say that I disagree with that statement of yours.
the internet have no limts and it can be very dangerous.
The Internet is more or less a projection of the physical world. Thereâs safe spots and thereâs dark alleyways. Thereâs people who can walk across the street safely and thereâs Darwin Award Candidates. Do you leave your house as often as you use the Internet?
Maybe its time for a new internet.
Because that will change what? The idea of a new Internet sounds like killing some political figure that will be replaced by someone just as corrupt.
I think we are better off without the internet. I think we should all take a break from the internet.
