net neutrality

[sparkz_alot]

Laws are made by people in congress. It will eventually work out. But it takes time.

Sorry, but I'm still waiting for prices to drop and magical technology to emerge that was promised when they deregulated the phone industry. Seems to be the same argument in this case regarding the internet. Since it was the government (ie our tax dollars) that got the internet going, it should be free, since we've already paid for it. Forgive me if I don't trust big business and congress to act on behalf of the public, since they are basically one and the same now. I think the "free and open exchange of ideas" was dealt a heavy blow with this ruling. Alternative viewpoints are a requirement of a democracy, now if the major ISP's don't like what you are saying, consider yourself throttled or even blocked. Perhaps one of the outcomes of this ruling will be the increased use of the dark net?
