PragerU on Net Neutrality

[szechuan]

Data Caps and or Throttling somebody unless they pay more for Bandwidth is a Scam, Seems like usual they want people to pay more for less.

Something is disingenuous about that electricity analogy, but I'm too lazy to put more thought into it.

It's not an accurate video but there's a lot of hysteria about not having government mandated net neutrality.

The Internet has done fine without the government mandating that stuff.

Look, worst case scenario, make your own ISP, open up the competition and ISPs that offer a shitty service (high cost poor access) get phased out.


If you're so concerned about evil stuff on the Internet, HIRE PEOPLE TO START PATROLLING the damn dark web, lots of evil illegal shit there, but the government shouldn't have direct powers over the Internet.

ROFL.

ROFL. lol.

Yeah, everyone is lazy and says the same thing. "We can't do it".

I don't care, do it.

If there's such a huge public outcry then I believe hundreds of millions of people can figure out a way to make a proper ISP.

It will fix itself?

ROFL.

For the past century, all IT advancement has been towards faster and yet cheaper.

The Internet will be fine. Maybe put cops to patrol the dark web like they do the STREETS or something if you're so concerned about immoral things on the Internet.

People fix things. Go start a "proper ISP", hell, I'll even invest in it if it looks semi-decent.

Which People?

I want to know what you think is worse:

1. some random ISP having crappy rules (you still haven't explained what exactly has any ISP done that warrants government regulation of the ENTIRE Internet)
2. child porn and assassins on the dark web

Then tell me why your priority is number 1 and literally no word about nr. 2.

ya know for a guy who posts really wild conspiracy theories one would think you want the government to allow you to say that and not leave it to a private company to decide weather to come in and shut you down. but, clearly you have no idea what NN actually is.

You honestly think the dark web does not have a shit ton of honey pots?

their post makes absolutely no fucking sense.

1: what, you want MORE regulation of the internet?
2: what, you DON'T want regulation of the internet?

I don't have a problem with companies shutting down right-wingers like Alex Jones as long as they are honest about their leftist bias as a company. But of course they're frauds, if people had known from the start what their bias was, would it still be as popular? Probably not. Facebook, Google etc. rose to fame masquerading as something they were not, open platforms. That's fraudulent in my view.

Hopefully the truth is out now and they will fall soon.

Taking down child porn is policing, not regulation. No different than a cop on the street witnessing a crime in progress and stopping it.

A full scale regulation of the Internet would be something like a curfew in real life and some streets being off limits to you even if you haven't been proven to have done anything wrong.

You do realize how insanely high the barrier to entry is for a new ISP, right?

You know they are already going after those sites, right? I think you just don't have any idea how the dark web works.


It also has fuck all to with NN. But hey, if you hate regulations that will benefit you, nobody is stopping you from expressing that hate. I mean, unless you're a CEO of one of the big ISPs.

You are confusing the internet, with social media. That’s why Infowars.com is not banned... until your ISP chooses to ban them, because “government enforced” net neutrality, is gone. Social media cannot block independent parts of the internet, while ISP sure as hell can.

A full scale regulation of the Internet would be something like a curfew in real life and some streets being off limits to you even if you haven't been proven to have done anything wrong.

Yes, which is something protected by net neutrality, but has nothing to do with social media.

Policing because of Law and Regulations.

Which didn't happen with Net Neutrality.

His issue is with Facebook being able to ban users, but he supports NBC owned Comcast, blocking access to their actual sites.

They're not going enough.

Here's an option: Don't spend any resources on telling ISPs what to do about net neutrality, divert all those resources to a stronger police presence on the dark web.

Government doesn't have unlimited money. It should spend what it has on its main functions: defense and combating the initiation of aggression/fraud
