Net Neutrality Dead lets get it back!

[Anadu Kune 668]

Net Neutrality is the thing that stops internet providers choosing what you get to see and what you don't get to see on the internet. As of now net neutrality is dead meaning there is nothing to stop your providers from blocking any site they deem fit. They can also put up pay walls, and that's most likely what they are going to do. Verizon and Comcast are currently racing to implement things like this.


I heavily suggest that all who like an open internet sign this

Sounds like a pointless idea for them to do, because their customers are not going to support what they do if it is not going to benefit the company and the customers. Not good, Verizon and Comcast.

Greed and control 

 

That's going to be the reason why humanity will fall...

The internet was intended as a tool to spy on and manipulate the public but is now being used as a tool to educate and communicate ideas which are very dangerous to the establishment which isn't sitting well with them. Doing this will only confirm everything the "conspiracy theorists" have been saying and will end up backfiring on them big time. So go ahead and take away Net Neutrality and see the angry mobs of people calling for an end to this and the criminal corporations and their puppets in congress and the white house responsible for it.

Thanks a lot, America, for f***ing up every other country besides your own.

Assholes.

All for the almighty dollar, but they can't take what is ours.

Seems to be something that's only happening in the USA... We don't have Verizon or Comcast over here.
Yeah, I don't live in the USA and thank the stars for that. In the words of the late George Carlin

So I let my friend read this thread, shes been all for open Internet for years now. She is happy to see others who are with her. I myself signed the petition, and in my moms words she describes me as one of those rioting spirits. Bring it..and watch us stand up to you. This wont just affect people who like to look up random useful information on the net but it will also affect my school work since I am an online student. With my degree I have to look into a lot of things my text books do not cover.
