Variations of that filled social media yesterday as left-wing activists and normal people who don’t know any better bought into the notion that the demise of “net-neutrality” regulations would mean the end of online freedom and the beginning of corporate tyranny.
Because remember when it used to be like that? When ISPs would intentionally slow down and block content from certain providers unless you paid a boatload of money? Remember when it was impossible to get enough broadband speed to watch a Netflix offering?
Oh. You don’t? Well that’s funny, because “net neutrality” regulations have only been in place since 2015, and prior to that the Internet seemed to work just fine.

The internet is here to stay may be forever or hundreds of years. From 1991 until now this would be just the baby life span of the internet. We have just reached the childhood. And now everyone is trying to raise this child to be his slave. The war over controlling just started. We have to wait to see how it will end. And how it will affect crypto currency, mining, and this very platform Steemit. You have a nice day.
