It's been good knowing you guys.

I don't want to ham it up, but I do wanna say that Verizon is a God. i worship them and their internet services.

This is a big deal...and is timed nicely to slide right in under the cover provided by basically every dirty old man with any name recognition whatsoever having all his jizz-starched laundry aired across the world's OLED screens.



It won't happen all at once. People would flip out. But it's going to be interesting seeing internet "bundles" being priced to include or exclude particular sites and services.

It's such utter bullshit.

it's weird that republicans have their cocks raw over this considering it's going to hurt every single corporation that isn't a telecom which is most of them.

you people are f**k insane

these regulations were put in place in 2015 because of fears that they were needed. DESTROY THE INTERNET? you mean, go back to how it was like a year ago? lmao you f**k people. you're destroying my reddit feed with your f**k chicken little hysteria is what you're doing

the reason the FTC hasn't done anything is because there hasn't been abuses. this belongs under the FTC, a consumer protection agency, rather than the FCC, which does things like regulate the strength of radio towers and makes the government money through auctions of airwaves, as well as prop up monopolies like AT&T for 100 years

FYI: In RES options, search for a word filter to use filteReddit. You can add "Net Neutrality" under keywords (which blocks everything with that in the title) and you can also block everything from domain keyword "battleforthenet". My reddit has been saved.

Join us next year for an episode where John finds out his broadband speeds are throttled depending on the service/website being utilized. Until then, stay safe and stay sane.

It's also weird because this would remove state's rights to regulate telecoms too.
