The End Of Net Neutrality
| This is the end my friend
| Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
| So, can someone explain me what Net Neutrality is exactly? Heard 'bout it a lately, but still not get it
| >>79743 Simply put, internet providers now can block access to certain sites and additionally charge you just so you could visit them.
| So now the US now has both slow overpriced internet and no access to Facebook and whatever else people use everyday unless you pay
| Well, shit. This sucks. Looks like situation here in russia tho. But insead of providers our government block websites which they found "dangerous". "Dangerous" websites like DeviantArt, knowyourmeme, a lot opposition sites and so on. They even prohibit VPNs. Not like their prohibits really works tho :)
| >>79758 about internet price/speed. I pay like 9$ for 100 mbit monthly. But it is in central Russia. For example, I know that on Far East(region near China and Japan) people pay 35-40 $ for 20mbit internet. In some places there only satellite inet which is slow and experience as fuck. So how is situation in US?
| >>79796 I'm not from USA, however I have few friends from there. Imo main problem with internet providers in USA - monopoly. In some regions one provider can control whole small city. That's one of main reasons why internet in the USA is so expensive and bad. If you have free time you can read comments under Linus video about "how speed up internet" https://youtu.be/tqbnjgbtDl0. People from whole world stated to discuss their internet plans. Most luckiest - Korea and China :)
| >>79874 Well, there is in Russia also one major provider called RosTeleCom. A lot of small towns controlled only by it. But in bigger cities situation is better,usually they have their own local providers. And there are also mobile operators who sell modems and that stuff

It's more a problem with shit like how comcast has it's own streaming site that rivals netflix but doesn't get nearly as much trafic so they block netflix and force you to use their shit, or they make their own social media and force you to use it, or the BBC has been covering stories that make them look bad so they block it etc. etc.
| Most terrifying thing is now they can block all BitTorrent traffic. Or all VPN traffic unless you pay more. I'm scared for the future of stuff like torrents and tor

Only in america. The rest of the world will be just fine, nothing will happen to torrents and tor. And yes you will pay more as you already pay more in average for shittier internet in average compared to the rest of the world. So why whine if you pay even more now?
| People still posting this misinformation I see...
Scroll down to the "End of Net Nutrality" (OP spelled it wrong) for information on how Net Neutrality isn't over just yet.
Also misinformation: >The rest of the world will be just fine-
| >>80335 If USA did it, pretty sire many countries would look them up and think "Hey we should fuck people in our country too"
| It's really the end of "nut" neutrality
| Afak, the Congress can still reappeal the FCC's decision.
| It will affect every nation too... Like if companies in the US cease to exist due to the change, web services and sites will go down which will impact everyone as well... Even if the governments do not follow suit.
>>Please don't die twitch.tv
| tfw everyone just spreads the 'pay to access sites' meme

It is so easy to do you wont believe. And very convenient to profit from. I worked in several isp. If there were no law to force equal treatment of traffic and/or destinations netsorkwise, the first thought that comes to mind in order to make more money is "lets slow down X feature a bit so who needs it will pay more money". Everytime everywhere. What protected the users from such hidden abuse was only fear from law and getting caught. Always.
| Anonymous vowed to destroy ajit pai and net neutrality. We grew up with it being free, they cant change it on us like that... Long live the free internet
| If someone lives in Portugal they can tell you what shit internet is there. You dont pay for internet but for the ability to use x ssrvice, or access y site, or be able to use z protocol (ssh/sftp come to mind), etc. You can feel it you are being proxied and filtered everywhere. When you watch utube there is some anoying videoad playing before your video opens. Apart from being crippled it is full of shit.
