>>393547 A mock-up of the end result of net neutrality dying.
Companies like Comcast will put up their hands and claim they would never consider such a thing, but the moment they think they can get away with it they will go full tilt.
And yeah, the moment any major ISP thinks they could get away with this shit, they'll do it and never look back - especially if they can convince consumers that this is for their own good.

Advocates for the open Internet are pushing for reclassifying the Internet from Title I to Title II under the Telecommunications Act of 1996. According to the supporters of this measure, it would make the Internet more like a public utility and give the agency more authority to regulate the Web and enforce protections for net neutrality.

>>393546 I remember a similar case in Europe, or at least i France, where the local provider had tried to do that, then the European law told them to fuck off. Free (the irony) still stried to filter youtube for a while to "force" people to upgrade but it failed and they got spanked again. We are safe there from that shit for a while at least.
it's probably over, calling your representative and telling them you support classifying isps common carriers is the most you can really do, and who knows if they will even vote according to their constituency
>>393577 Wait, you're saying if I support net neutrality I'm fighting *against* giant skyscraper lasers? Screw that, I'm going with the side that's totally metal.
