RE: Burger King launches powerful Net Neutrality Campaign

in #netneutrality7 years ago

You do realize by being for net neutrality you're against a free and open internet right?

If you are for a free and open internet then you're against net neutrality like i am. Net neutrality is nothing more than government regulation of the internet.

If you are not in the USA, you likely have a choice on what Internet Service provider you choose and have better speed for far less than we do. You also not likely forced to purchase 300 useless channels in a TV bundle to get the 1-2 you want to watch.

You should check out sling, youtube tv (not sure this is the name) and playstation vue (again not sure if this is the name).

Sort:  

Net Neutrality provides some protections from Internet Service Providers doing more evil than they do now.

They have already proven they cannot be trusted and without any regulation, they will exploit users and businesses over and over.

IMO the main organization the has proven over and over again that it can't be trusted is the government.

I'm hoping that without all the red tape we will see the rise of some competition, but only time will tell who is right.

There can’t be competition, there are laws the lobbyists paid to get implemented that pretty much makes it illegal.

Net Neutrality regulations create far less damage than what service providers have done themselves.

Comcast has been rated #1 worst company in America for years for a reason.

Lol Amazon is pretty high up there with companies to work for. I don't think that's a reason to slap Amazon with regulations on how to run their business.

Government regulations shouldn't be implemented based on company work environment.

Strip the PR campaigns most people complain about working for Amazon.

But that’s not really relevant. ISP have already shown they will do anything they can to make money regardless of ethics or their customers. Allowing them to do what they feel like will destroy the open Internet we know now.

They will hold the keys if a company site can even be accessed and what media users can consume.

If they build an Amazon clone they can slow down Amazon unless they pay absurd privilege fees.

Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T are the most untrustworthy companies in America. They will use everything in their power to manipulate and take advantage of a users need for the Internet.
