As the title goes alot of people in every alt right circle are praising trump for electing the FCC guys, but it gives comcast the ability to throttle the connection to any website they want for any reason, and since comcast is part of the establishment, if they were to make it so alt right websites were slower, wouldn't it be hilarious if the alt-right turned around and blamed SJWs on all of their problems, when it was their guy who did it, Also i actually support comcast, because i bet they will just do that to any racist/neo nazi websites, its the free market making the decision

Yes it would be ironic, but the left talking areas could also be throttled. This is why we should all care about Net Neutrality. This is not a partisan issue, this is a Rich vs. Poor issue.

Media it self is not a partisan issue. But, net neutrality, or the ability to pay an ISP for preferential treatment, will be all about money. A start up will have a bigger chance of hitting a bigger audience now, then after revoking net neutrality.

Edit: oh and yes... the more extreme views you have, the less likely removing net neutrality, will help in finding more like minded. It explicitly empowers MSN, CNN and Fox, while pushing alternatives further out of main stream.Last edited by Felya; 2017-12-04 at 08:17 PM.

No they won't, quite the opposite... You think Google can't outspend a start up? The big existing monopolies will be able to pay more money, drowning them out. Originally Posted by Felya

Of course they will. The corporate cable companies are clearly part of the "media" and therefore in the luberlulz pockets.
Because they can't accept the fact that they may have made a bad decision or picked the wrong side of a fight. Instead they just double down.Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
