from the little i understand

net neutrality in essence is turning the internet itself into a "utility". when something is a utility, it can be taxed, regulated, licensed, hell it can be shut down based off the content within, etc. all at the discretion of the FCC/federal government.

i'm not sure if you are familiar with the FCC, but the only times i've ever heard of them was in regards to them censoring things, from radio to television.

so allowing them to hold the wheel of the internet is silly to me, espescially when the argument for allowing them to hold the wheel is censorship. like somehow the FCC has your best interests at heart, and the people who's livelihoods exist on your best interests don't.

the government gets paid no matter what, through forceful taxation and the threat of incarceration.

netflix gets paid through your voluntary subscription. if they sign a deal with an ISP that fucks over their consumers, they fuck over themselves.

but again, im not pretending to be all knowledgeable in this, im as biased as anyone because of where i stand outside of all this. being anti the government having its greedy fuck hands in everything.

every legislation with a good name should be scrutinized and not taken at face value. nothing is actually in the best interests of the people. no child left behind, the patriot act, the affordable care act, etc, all sound like great things if you are just looking at the name, but underneath that its not in the peoples best interests, and never is.
