Kinda like our retarded Net Neutrality Act. Freedom of speech is a Constitutional right, but Congress passes a law to make the government the arbiter of what can go on the internet and how accessible it should be. Then everyone screams that the net needs to be "neutral" - retards, sycophants, ignoramuses. Welcome to Dystopia.

Myk Murphy:
i am willing to throw out net neutrality when US citizens have a diversity of high-speed internet sources/hookups available to them, but not a moment before. it's not stupid to ensure that streaming services from company A are not throttled by company B at the customer's location, who happens to offer a similar, competing streaming solution. as "fixed 5G" rolls out very quickly and we get past "the last mile" monopoly issue, we can stop treating internet as a single-source utility, but to allow ISP choke-points beforehand is, oddly enough, very bad for technology innovation.

If someone could give me an idiot's guide to this whole net neutrality thing then me and my tired brain would be very grateful please and thank you.

Prediction: in 20 years the constitution will be rewritten. The result will have people like myk cheering, for 5 minutes. 1st amendment, gone, second amendment gone. Myks grandkids will.be living in tyranny and asking the question, why. Or maybe not. Much of the future will be based on sharia law. Fags, killed. Women, covered up. If they're raped, they're sluts. One of the items going around is is girl who was a sex slave, th3 British media is stating she's has sex with 100 men, by 16. No she was raped. Insanity has taken over.

Myk Murphy:
sharia law is not coming for the US or anywhere else. it makes a great sound bite in the news when some guy shouts that he'll set up a caliphate in (insert western city here) but it doesn't make it likely. it does, however, terrify the breitbart/fox viewers as they watch ads for diabetes meds.

and if the first amendment survives your orange messiah, h, it will survive anything.

as for net neutrality, simply put, it is the demand (put forth by the google and netflix crowd, as well as many of those in technology) that media/cable companies should not be able to change the download speeds to accelerate certain traffic while slowing others. or, for certain data to "not count" against your data limits ("zero rating") while others do. there is a fear that an independent streaming provider would have to pay "tolls" to stream quickly on "the last mile" where customers get their internet into their homes or businesses. it would be like BT altering your home internet performance such that they favored BBC or ITV while simultaneously slowing Sky Sports (unless Sky paid a fee to go fast). or slowing facebook while letting linkedin perform really well. or stopping a voice over IP phone provider from working while selling your own phone service from the cable company. etc...

cable and wireless companies want the option to bundle a tv service on your phone and zero-rate it, but is that a free market (decoy's position) or is it monopolistic? i suppose that if we had lots of wireless and home internet and streaming tv options, it might be ok for these bundles to occur, but lawmakers are rightfully concerned that monopolies still exist. home internet is the most common monopoly where many US homes really only have one provider, and so it might be best treated as a utility like electricity, without favoritism. as we often get phone and tv over that same pipe, net neutrality is still a big deal. the new wireless networks (5th generation, or 5G) are on the way, and they will give homes fast internet without digging in your yard... this might give us more internet access options, but playing games with internet traffic is still a troubling behavior.
