Gonna have to pay $9.99 to come here nows
The way sites like Twitter are going to be blocked and/or slowed down hard with all the negative Trump coverage.
Congress has to officially pass this, but we all know they will. I was reading an article the other day detailing how much money members of Congress have already received from the telecom industry. It's kinda scary how much the internet is about to change over the next few years.

!!! Because I ain't paying Virgin Media ?30 a month for them to snatch the cat back now :uhh:
It still has to go to congress before it's really put into work, but when it's officially released I want to request all my posts on this site be erased and my account deleted.
I won't be joining you girls in jail when the heat is on.

I wonder will the ISPs really do the negative things they can with their powers
because sounds like it would cause them to lose customers in the process
Yeah. Im going to need to start a new account on here.
Luckily I was ahead of the game and left my old twitter account behind. :guys:

Basically the internet will be similar to phone companies or cable/satellite

What you can and can't see will be regulated by your Internet service provider. They can chose what to block and what goes fast and slow and instead of just paying for the internet, you will have to pay for the internet and then pay for what extra sites you can use.
It's American, but it will affect the world since alot of American websites are visited by non Americans. An example, if Netflix loses alot of people because not only do they have to pay for Netflix, but they also have to pay for the speed and to be able to stream, then Nextflix would probably end up raises their prices just to make up for the losses and we know how if the US does something alot of other countries are quick to follow.
It aint over yet... expect major lawsuits from major companies and activist to come in the following weeks. They've already been prepping for this. I'm expecting this to end with a federal/supreme court ruling.
Y'all better call your state reps and pressure them to sue the FCC
I honestly don't expect their vote to stand for long
Netflix
QuoteWe?re disappointed in the decision to gut #NetNeutrality protections that ushered in an unprecedented era of innovation, creativity & civic engagement. This is the beginning of a longer legal battle. Netflix stands w/ innovators, large & small, to oppose this misguided FCC order.

Many of them have vowed to make sure they keep their hands away from questionable practices such as slowing down sites that belong to their competition, etc.
This is an important decision/vote that was made but I do feel as if the media is over dramatizing it just a bit. As they do with everything. lol.
We'll see how it plays out though.
Congress still has to vote
There?s still hope

Sis I love you, but you know as well as I do that these companies partake in shady tactics and their words in public don't always match the behind the scenes.
Case in point all those companies denouncing trump or homophobia, but then it's revealed the girls have been in bed with the Trump Administration and Anti-LGBT organizations.
I'm not buying what they're selling.
This ain?t gonna happen
This only benefits one side. I agree with Afro lol it?s not going down without a fight and is hardly a forgone conclusion
No way. The lawsuits are practically underway
The cynic in me wants to believe that this isn't that much of an obstacle and checks and balances will work out in our favor, but I also thought there was no chance in hell that the human Cheetoh could be our next president.

Well it's not much they can really hide if they begin slowing down access to certain websites, etc.
Ray pointed out a possibility of some ISPs losing customers for those types of practices. They've said they'd stay away from it but only time will tell. It's definitely something they wouldn't be able to throw under a rug, though. The change would be too obvious.
That's what I mean. I'm sure they're not somewhere campaigning for Net Neutrality to stay in place, though.

Right
Alot of issues plaguing women, poc, lgbt etc would've gone under the radar if it wasn't for access to the internet and social media. So much shit that affects our communities wouldn't get TV time if it wasn't for social media bringing it to light, and sometimes it still gets overlooked no matter how viral something goes online.
White people are truly a mess.

Hill still won the popular vote :gotchafag:
This is why I stayed away from all that Sexual Predator mess that?s been coming out for the past few months. Anything to keep our minds off the real shit being done to strip away our constitutional rights.
I think it is alarming, isn?t the access to information a human right? So people should get a library pass because internet is blocked? I thought this could only happen in countries like Korea or in those old fashioned religions. I don?t get the ?We?ll see how this plays out? mentality when America has been crumbling for over a year now. I thought the people of the USA were these brave heroes, but is the plan now to be passive sit back with some Cheetos and watch Alex Jones rant?

I think something is brewing and scandals about senators are up next. We must not lose ourselves in the hype and distractions but we also have to let karma be the bitch she is. I know the government wants Wikileaks gone..and they would like to have control over media

Algorithms in social media and the Google ads/results are already creating bubbles. So people who cant afford the premium internet package are just going to be screwed.

Not a great thing but it isn?t the end of the world either.
Exactly.
I was trying to tell you gorls that there was a bit of dramatization going on (regarding paying for websites, etc.)
It's an important decision that will change the game but it's not the doomsday that media is hyping it up to be.
Well I guess if you feel comfortable go ahead with the plan
I wouldn?t want it. Don?t give these companies and the government too much power

It IS a big deal if allows your ISP to LEGALLY censure consumers. To even allow them to have that sort of power coincides perfectly with Trump's authoritarian tendencies. A slippery slope.

It's a big deal, I don't think anyone's arguing that.
As well as an important decision...And a step in the wrong direction.
But not doomsday. Or something that will cause us to swipe a card before logging into Bsource.
