today i will remind them that it is worthless without platform neutrality.
no, you aren't allowed to just terminate someone's CONTRACT because some gross tranny cries about it.
And if the GOP is smart this time they'll ignore it because bickering over settlement free peering is the most Comcast-grade petty bullshit.
There is no political "win" on opposing network neutrality because the burden of enacting it falls most heavily on the networks... many of whom are on the list of America's most hated companies. A few are under investigation for defrauding the FCC on improvement grants.
Best to leave the issue be and tell any company that comes lobbying to go fuck themselves.
The GOP isn't stupid. It's evil. One thing it could do but won't, is support Net Neutrality in exchange for anti-censorship policy changes.
Obama is a piece of shit but opposing net neutrality is like taking a shotgun to your foot. Supporting or opposing something because your "side" has that position shows just as little critical thinking as the left doing the same thing
Why? Has net-non-neutrality been hurting those of us on the political dissident side? (honestly asking)
It's expending political capitol for no gain.
Network neutrality is about settlement free peering, or the free, unprioritized exchange of data across the peer networks that form the internet.
IT IS NOT about last mile providers, although midwits think it is. Being opposed to net neutrality looks like being in favor of last mile traffic prioritization.
It's mostly a fight between extremely large data hosts (Youtube, etc) and extremely large network operators (Lumen, etc), and in practice whether you have neutrality or not matters very little compared to the market forces driving the installation of new fiber. Large hosts increasingly run THEIR OWN fiber direct to major exchanges, making the whole issue moot.
Yes, I totally agree with your top comment. I don't think it's a good move for the politicians to get involved. I assumed he was speaking on behalf of us plebs. As in "why would you be against net neutrality, you're only hurting yourself!" I don't know much about it but I have heard that YouTube already has favorable peering agreements that give them an unfair advantage over competitors like Rumble. I could be for NN if it made it easier for Rumble or Gab but I don't know if that's the case.
