Appeals Court just killed Net Neutrality.This could be the end of the Internet as we know it. But it doesn’t have to be. Tell the FCC to restore Net Neutrality: http://bit.ly/1iOOjoe can someone explain this to me with small words they want to make the internet like tv. with channels and paying to get to specific websites and things. net neutrality = not doing that i do not approve in the slightest This impacts every internet user. Please signal boost the hell out of this and sign the petition if you are American Frickin Frack this is important, please sign! Fuck that I’m broke here is a source (wall street journal) the explanation above is a bit misleading. what the appeal means is that content providers (google, netflix, etc.) will have to pay to play depending on their traffic and ISPs’ (verizon, comcast, etc.) interests. the concern, of course, is that these fees will then trickle down to us, the consumers, and we’ll have to pay more for content providers. what this also means is that ISPs will basically be able to pick what content provider succeeds in the market, bc they will decide- depending on who pays how much- the speed of traffic. if one stream is slow and another stream is fast, the consumer is going to go to the fast stream. this could spell disaster for small businesses and entrepreneurs. and as a consumer, it seems a step closer to the prospect of internet censorship. net neutrality is very very important. commercializing access to content is terrifying tbh. -- source link
