Should internet access be free?

yes

if something is free, you are the product

Everyone pays at least a tiny bit of taxes, I bet you're forced to pay more than I do ausfag

>taxes

So it’s not free then?

It is free. Just build and maintain the equipment yourself.

Who'd pay for the infrastructure?
Who'd set up cables? connect homes? raise antennas?
The tax payers?
Well that ain't free, now, is it?

Also, do you really want more "normies" getting online than they are now? or even worse. third worlders?

It's just a what if
Would "free" internet be classified as gibs?
Libraries are also "free" but funded by taxes

its already free

Internet should be so expensive that I couldn't afford it

Optic fiber is almost free here - $10.

Internet access should be priced high enough to keep poor people out

Russian with VPN?

You think I have fish swimming in my fridge?

Yes. I pay roughly $11.00 USD a year in taxes and I collect $130000 in return from the taxpayer.

My parents raised me on monopoly.

>Should internet access be free?
Why should someone else pay for your internet access?

>"Free" as in you only have to buy the device the connects online
So it's not really free?

Why can't you justify the internet being free to you?

>oy vey, how can i get shekels if its free
i... just...

Because it's a modern day Library of Alexandria, all the information you could ever need to be successful is flying around your head every second.
The restrictions are internet "provider" corporations and whatever device you need to access this information.

False equivalence

>Because it's a modern day Library of Alexandria, all the information you could ever need to be successful is flying around your head every second.
So what?

Why must you have access to that for "free" (aka someone else paying for it)?

>The restrictions are internet "provider" corporations and whatever device you need to access this information.
Again, so what?

>False equivalence
It's "free" to you. Someone else is forced to pay for your internet. Why must that be allowed?

Yes it should be for free. The connection should come from a satellite. It's 2019 after all

It's not free for me, I pay monthly for internet

>It's not free for me, I pay monthly for internet
You want internet to be free though. Which means someone else will be forced to pay for your internet.

Why must someone else pay for your internet?
Why must you have access to the internet for free?

I already said ITT, re-allocate (not raise) taxes until the infrastructure is built

>hurr durr taxes will pay for it

Companies love overcharging the state, all you're doing is making tax payers pay for leeches

It costs to maintain, retard

>I already said ITT, re-allocate (not raise) taxes until the infrastructure is built
But why? That's your problem. You haven't justified internet being "free."

You want internet to be "free" because you don't want to pay for it. That's not a good enough reason for internet being "free."

To my shame, I don't know much about Asiatic cultures...

I could teach you so much.

Alright yeah, I cant really justify it
I dont want to sound like "hurr I was just playing retarded" but I cant think of a non-socialist reason

The internet it self is for free.How much do you pay to visit a http site? How much do you pay to make a Jow Forums post? How much do pay to read news on a free website? Nada. You only pay for the connection to the internet. But the connection can come for example from a satellite too. Google Elon Musk Starlink

most of us pay taxes for ‘education’ and all sorts of things that are actually supposed to help the collective.

healthcare is one subject due to its high expenses for people who never contributed any value and lived incredibly harmful lives, but free internet would be useful against propaganda, for education, work, creativity and so on

government should invest into the infrastructure and provide access and digital identity for everyone.

I go further and say internet connection should be a human right.

Literally only VAT which is automatically included in the price of everything before you buy it anyway
