i made that gif...love seeing it spread.

The Trump administrations main goal is to turn us into Russia, meaning the government will control the narrative of what is seen and heard by its citizens.
This is one of the ways to do it.

yup.

Can someone explain to me what net neutrality is to my dumbass?

the way things are now, every website gets to you at the fastest speed that site can get it to you.
if net neutrality is killed, your internet service provider can slow down how fast a site can get to you.

problem is that the companies that provide you with internet may also control the content you consume.
that means they can slow the speed of content providers you like but they compete with.

it's like if i owned a bridge but i also owned a brick business that carried bricks over the bridge.
there are also several other brick companies that crossed my bridge.
of course i'm gonna let my bricks over my bridge first...but...if you want those other bricks, you have to pay more for them.

who's bricks are you gonna get if you are poor?
and if you can afford my bricks, then you may not care about the problems of people who can't.

by slowing the speed of your competitors, you decrease the number of people who have access.
get a strangle hold on information.

it's evil.

shyt's like the modern day war against public broadcasting:francis:

As folks become more aware of how society works and how the government is manipulating the dumb, the more the government will go harder with keeping the hamster wheel rolling. If only there was a spokesperson to go against the grain of how Net Neutrality can do harm to the internet ala how Fred Rogers was kicking game on the importance of public broadcasting. Then again in this era of suckers and instagram moguls, might as well just pray on it or go the old fashion route (reading a book).

Welcome to the future dystopia :beli:

Late stage capitalism

companies are desperate for any way they can monetize things no matter how ridiculous

Verizon took away 1080p and up video streaming while on their LTE network because it was going to help customer speeds all around. Then they give you the option for 1080p streaming, but you have to pay an extra $10 a month for it

late

stage

capitalism

they can feel their grip shrinking with the internet....

Yo son...I just had a thought.

If net neutrality gets repealed, seeing how attached Americans are to the Internet and their smartphones, what if this deadass causes a revolution once people realize what this means?:russ:
Nah, people as a whole are dumb and don't wanna push back. They will just comply
