Yes

we're free now

While there are problems with non-regulated internet, aka throttling, a bigger problem would be had if it were regulated.

The future of 3d printing/information sharing is at risk. Downloading porn could get you prosecuted under interstate commerce lewdness laws. "But those are extremes" yea and those extreme laws have been used to jail people for buying hentai comics/pillowcases/sex dolls.

So I don't trust the regulation at all.

Why did no one bring this up during that whole freakout? This, along with the speech law persecutions in Europe and Canada, are legitimate reasons to be skeptical of legislation

Regulations only bring more regulations. Anti-government proponents have been trying to tell you this for centuries, and yet "Make more regulations to solve all of our problems!" is the only thing people are capable of conceiving.

because we love getting fucked in the ass with needles

idk, nothings changed for me since the whole fcc net neutrality shit
t. Californian

Most people categorize that as a long-term philosophical problem which can be dealt with when it's encountered, whereas the problems being solved via regulation are imminent and dangerous, and thus need to be solved immediately. It's not a positive thing, but that's the logic I used to follow when I was further to the left

To the consumer, theoretically nothing should change either way, at least in the short term.

In the long term you may actually see websites as "paid packages" or some stupid shit like that.

Net neutrality was and always has been about big corporations fucking other big corporations in the ass, and it was frighteningly easy for Google and Facebook to get the general populace on their side.

No, but European Internet is falling apart...

Yes, it feels like I'm back in 2006 living in fear from /i/ raids and all sort of oppressive scares.

>In the long term you may actually see websites as "paid packages" or some stupid shit like that.

Net neutrality was aimed at business to business though. I've yet to see any indication that the regulation would have stopped this. And you can make a simple regulation to stop just this anyway without having a massive document filled with God knows what.

Given the massive outrage over the very idea, I think most corporations realize it would hurt their bottom line too much to attempt

>reddit times
EU proven itself better than us again

I've always been of the opinion that the problems being solved via regulation are almost always a problem that had to be invented. "First world problems", if you will.
Net Neutrality as a problem popped up almost out of thin air and could theoretically have been invented well before Netflix.

Real problems that affect the lives of real people, i.e. immigration are usually swept with changes in leadership and court cases.

The outrage of the consumer is only as long as their attention spans.

Cable TV was created as an "ad-free" alternative to Satellite and other means, and today you can't find a single TV channel on any network without advertisements.

They'll slowly but surely work it in. Frog on a frying pan and all that. Like the Patriot Act.

Oh no, some websites didn't manage to stop stealing private data in time & now had to disable pending update.

It is like missing out on software versions infested by spyware.

No because based california passed their own net neutrality law and that's where all the traffic goes anyway

I don't get why people are so bent out of shape about this. It's only fair that businesses get something in return. In this day and age you're making the decision to give up your info consciously. There's no such thing and free and the idea that anyone should be forced to offer free goods or services is retarded.

Filing wired ISPs under common carriers, as mobile ISPs are, should theoretically apply a bunch of pre-existing regulations onto them.

The one you're looking for is that they are treated as a utility and not a service, and as a utility they are not allowed to touch the data stream.
In other words, no censorship.
Providing payment plans for particular websites is not a far cry from censorship (i.e. set the MSRP for some faggot pariah website to $6000/mo)

God I hate yurotrash. Hope they all burn in hell.

You should listen to yourself talk.
You sound like you're speaking a PR manager's practiced one-liners in front of a broadcast audience.

You lack context.
You're supporting hungry wolves who feed on sheep who are ignorant or incapable to be able protect themselves.

The GDPR isn't about giving corporations the middle finger (although the result certainly is), it's about giving the average stupid sheep consumer the protection they don't know that they need.

Frankly that an entire industry may potentially crash to the ground because of this is just an example of poetic justice.

>The GDPR isn't about giving corporations the middle finger (although the result certainly is), it's about giving the average stupid sheep consumer the protection they don't know that they need.

If they don't care about themselves why should I?

Because when stupid sheep are gathered together, they can form lasting impacts that the next generation can feel even decades later.

Example: The invention of the accredited investor, as a result of stupid sheep, who when gathered together can cause a financial crisis, such as the dot com bubble.

We've been moving ever closer to a state of mind where giving away more and more of your personal information is just "the way things are", and stupid sheep are the people who push that zeitgeist.

If you don't fight to protect the stupid sheep, you're culpable for everything that results from their actions.

Nope
My connection is faster and better than yours
