Shows how effective the MSM and Internet are at making people believe the exact opposite of the truth. Most people on this forum believe Net Neutrality is about shutting down conservative websites. Which it could be if they decided to charge more to websites like Drudge and FR.
But mostly it has to do with them throttling video websites to force users to go to sites like NETFLIX, HULU, etc. Artificial price inflation used to force out unwanted competition.
It's all about the money. They bribe our politicians with it, and our politicians allow them to build MONOPOLIES.
Remember when politicians used to tell us MONOPOLIES were a bad thing ?
Shutting down conservative websites WOULD come, make you no mistake, but it would mostly come later - namely, AFTER the corporations had finished testing the waters with tricks like mysteriously making competitor’s websites or websites documenting their sh!tty service or dishonest practices not work or work at a crawl. As for myself, I was on board the NN train when one of the most conservative people I have ever known in my life explained it in alarmingly simple terms:
“Net Neutrality is the law that states that internet service providers cannot charge different prices for different content...
To make it clearer, it’s as if the post office, tired of merely charging you by the ounce for delivering your letters and nonperishable packages, demanded the right to charge you extra depending upon the content of the letters you received and sent. Letters from your boss are now 25 cents; letters from Granny are now 50, letters from your sweetheart are now a buck and a half... Letters they dislike will also be delivered slower, and with more errors and package damage.... or won’t show up at all.
If the ISPs succeed in persuading the government to drop Net Neutrality, this is precisely what they do. They will cheat customers out of the service for which they have paid. They will freely and openly use “variable rates” to obstruct access to competitors-— material, political or ideological.”
