We need to destroy all the communist polices that the Great imposter set in motion.
Here are the more detailed stories from Ars Technica:
It is primarily techies, not leftists, who are supporting net neutrality.
Soros is putting his $18 Billion to use with Rent-A-Mobs and BLM thugs. We should wrap Soros in a blanket and send him back to his country so they can deal with him......properly.
It is worrying how easy it is to whip lefties into a fury with fake news.
Only after we seize 100% of his entire family’s assets.
And spay and neuter his kids and grandkids.
The Noise Machine won't be quiet until the change is made. Then it will find something else to be noisy about.
Communists protesting because they want to be regulated by the government and have their free speech rights removed while holding up Orwellian signs saying the opposite.
more frenzy from a clueless crowd of idiots whipped up by faceless leaders exploiting the protestors stupidity.
Net-Neutrality Bookmark
It’s amazing how many people think this April 2015 rule has been in place since the internet began and something dramatic is taking place if something that never before existed prior to April 2015 gets rolled back. It’s ridiculous.
There, is that loud enough? No, but it's a start...
Who cares what that criminal soros wants
I have said many times that he should have been deported long time ago.
I am a “Techie” and have been for over 20 years. I spent my first three years as a general consultant before moving into network engineering as a junior, then senior, then architect. Now I manage a multi-discipline “SWAT” team of engineers for a large datacenter provider with over 20 sites worldwide.
And neither I nor any of my friends in this industry support Net Neutrality or any other government initiative to regulate the Internet. Then again, all of us have been around a LONG time.
I was there when AOL and CompuServe were the big “ISP”s. There was not World Wide Web - there was Archie, FTP, and a few other programs for gaining access to information stored primarily by universities.
Nearly all of the innovation done in the early years of the web and the HTTP protocol was fueled primarily by porn. Almost all of the fancy stuff you see now on websites was thought up and invented because geeks wanted better access to naked women (or men I guess).
In those days, there was no regulation. It was a “fad” and no one gave it much thought. ISPs came and went - some were bought by others, some were merged, some went bankrupt due to poor business decisions.
Throughout all of this, everyone figured out that the *last* thing any ISP would do is arbitrarily block their customers from something. There are many failed ISPs to attest to that fact. It’s far too simple to switch to someone else to get your access. That’s called a “free market”.
As with pretty much all things government these days “Net Neutrality” had nothing to do with “neutrality.” Instead, what “Net Neutrality” was all about was rewarding big donors to politicians (Amazon, Netflix, Google...etc), and their investors, by preventing downstream providers from charging more to stream movies and music - all things that take up far more bandwidth than anything else and put the highest burden on the downstream provider networks.
Without being able to charge the upstream providers or content providers more for the bandwidth, the downstream edge provider has no choice but to raise their prices for all their customers (the end users) thereby subsidizing the content provider’s market. This is because *everyone* has to pay for the added bandwidth, not just the content provider’s customers.
So the political donors and their investors are happy, and the people at the bottom - who’ve been told that without this “feature” they will all be censored - like that *ever* happened before it was implemented - honestly believe that is the case. I’ve argued with hundreds of them and nearly all of them simply refuse to understand reality.
Crazy world. Somebody oughta sell tickets. I’d buy one.
Thank you for a clear overview of this. I admit I have limited understanding of it all but as experience has shown me, anything my arrogant and over educated (2 masters, woo hoo) brother in law is for, I’m against.
Cause Soros is paying for the violence... and the press help and the PR, and very few of these people understand why...
Excellent summary.
