Let's Be Real: We Can't Stop Net Neutrality Repeal

[@Kanglar]

You DON'T fuck with the internet. The internet will fuck you up right back.

[@thunderpooch]

If I didn't know any better I'd think the internet was a honey badger.

[@Timorio]

Tell that to North Korea and China.

[@jebkfan9146]

I mostly agree but don't forget that they can materially pull the plug on people.

[@rustyshackleford5668]

Welp time to DDOS Ashit Pie

[@hellooutthere8956]

tht is wht i said. the more they try to control the more ppl will find a way around it. especially the internet crowd o social justice warriors.

[@davidparrott1763]

Once we lose it, it is very improbable that we will ever get it back. Most people have no clue that this is happening.

[@therrydicule]

David Parrott No, we might be able to get it back. But, we need to start making pressure now.

[@lbscree]

They even made a provision where the state can't even regulate it. How Republican, to take control from the states

[@therrydicule]

Maziyapa Zi Look, we had the same situation under Obama in 2015.

[@ed3n4]

[@demarkussimon9202]

Deathly_ Inkwell yea now we the greediest guy in power with most of our power being Republican. This is a very sad year indeed.

[@mykkie100]

For someone like myself, a disabled American, my lifeline to the world is through the internet. Please stop the killing the internet!

[@akenzokuinthewild6396]

Im VERY poor and have narcolepsy and a million other things that I cant get rid of and Honestly if those cunts take the internet away from me I will, get a gun, go to the nearest isp place, coat the place in a thin layer of blood and kill myself (also already very depressed) and leave a note that would have alllll the thing that have fucked me over primarily verizon and such

[@aiden359]

This fool Pai is gonna wind up dead

[@iMaDeMoN2012]

I jumped for joy when Osama died. Why wouldn't I do the same for a traitor like Ajit Pai.

[@marshallbs]

I don’t understand why these fuckers think they can just push push push... and not expect a reaction. The overwhelming majority of Americans are against this. This fool thinks he can simply act as a tyrant with zero repercussions.

[@suk4honesty]

I would be quite literally jumping for joy 💖

[@suk4honesty]

marshallbs I think we need to do a large scale internet campaign to make he AND his family PUBLIC ENEMIES NO. 1. We need to make it so that they will not feel safe ever leaving their house.

[@thunderpooch]

I'll try to force a tear. But I suspect a smile will emerge.

[@borimirtheboring]

The ironic after effect might be that so many people (like myself) won't be able to afford internet service that a lot of people will cancel their internet and the whole internet economy will come crashing down.

[@thehypnotoad3869]

boromirtheboring - of course, fewer users will force the price up on those who still subscribe.

[@RicterCasenger]

Unfortunately most people need it, most being everyone, we'd be kept in the dark about events and things we should know about. It would be all according to coperations plans if we stay or go because they know the internet is nessiary in this day and age.

[@WiseFidelista]

Before the internet people still found ways to get together protest and Win. #N0EXCUSES

[@CoolLatiasLatios]

Your last sentence is the absolute thing I am very scared of happening. People that say that this won’t effect us as bad or it’s better to get rid of net neutrality better think again. There is more at stake here if he really lose this. The number one thing I fear is the economy taking a hit and again and again. This proposal that fucking Pie want’s to pass will hurt everyone even big websites like Facebook as an example. How will Facebook as an example would be able to make money if more people than ever cannot afford the internet? Then you will have even more people cancel because they just won’t be able to afford it anymore. I’m pretty sure that Mark doesn’t want to lose money. If I was in his shoes I would be very worried how again this would effect Facebook. I seriously hope that if we keep piling enough pressure and the big Verizon protest on December 7th will finally open Congress eye’s and stop the FCC from voting. If not then this will probably be immediately taken to court and hopefully stuck down there:)

[@vulgarprophet2689]

That's what they want dude. Its the dying cable companies that are buying the internet from under us, they can't handle the competition so they're buying it and destroying it. Now CNN and FOX won't have to compete with KZbinrs that have better content for free. They need to be hung by their fucking necks

[@seanwjones07]

This is horrible for democracy and free speech. It's hard to start a movement if you can't get out the message.

[@SexyFace]

Jones206 it's hard to start a movement at all these days unless you're some social justice warrior preaching gay rights

[@readyjoe6427]

Smegma tf does that have to do with anything right now? This isn’t about social justice warriors or conservatives, nobody gives a shit. It’s about us uniting against a common threat that’s literally threatening our freedom and going directly against what America stands for.

[@SexyFace]

Dead Gang it has to do with the second sentence in the op.

[@SexyFace]

Pokemon Trainer Blue I was using sjw's and LGBT as an example to make a point. I wasn't comparing anything with the net neutrality problem either, so I'm having trouble understanding why the both of you felt the need to go in depth about what it is and what's happening concerning it. I already know everything about NN, probably more than both of you combined. What's irrelevant is you explaining "the fight we're all united in" because it has absolutely nothing to do with my original comment. Nobody can use their brain these days.

[@readyjoe6427]

Smegma that’s the downright most stupid response you could’ve came up with. We replied to you that way because your original comment has absolutely nothing to do with what the op said. It was straight nonsense which my reply called out. The fact that you don’t understand that is actually shocking. And no matter what context you put it in what you said either doesn’t make any sense or is just making a problem out of nothing while outright ignoring the obvious bigger one.

[@cagedtigersteve]

I say we create a new Internet.

[@topiasinsulanias7458]

Caged we have it already it’s called the dark net

[@v77scorpio41]

Never is a long time.

[@kozhedub]

[@acetate909]

BurnTrooper BlowOut You're right and I feel the same way. We had our chance to speak up but I don't think that enough people took the time to write the FCC or their representatives and articulated their opposition. People will look back at the passage of this bill as the turning point that changed the internet as we've known it.

[@UnkyNik]

Unless you move to a free country.

[@acetate909]

UnkyNik India just passed some progressive net neutrality laws. I hear India is lovely this time of the century.

[@frijolex2509]

This is a good legit idea. Has anyone started something similar that we could all join?

[@utmost9470]

I would but I have things to do.

[@nosavepoints]

The internet should be considered a necessity in today's world. Nearly every job I have applied for in the last few years required an online application and emailed resume. Most bills are required to be paid online now. Finally, the only sensible way to keep an eye on your credit is online, especially with all the recent hacks and the rise of identity theft.

[@Imozart0341I]

No Save Points it is a necessity, that’s why Bama reclassified it as a public utility like electricity and water.

[@blackham7]

No Save Points Yes but who does the hard work to connect you to the internet. ISPs should be able to decide to charge people however much they want for people to use their Telecommunications devices. It's a business like any other. The internet itself though has always been free but you need to pay for a car to get you there.

[@peach495]

The way I'm going to deal with it is like this. The first time I see a buffering pinwheel, I'll call my ISP & cancel the service.

[@sibe9501]

Same, I only get 5 megabytes download and 1 megabyte upload. I refuse to pay more for something that barely works already. However, Americans are just going to bitch about it, realize they can't do anything about it, then pay for it and go about their daily lives. We aren't going to do shit about it.

[@acetate909]

NEUTRAL INTERNET! I read a great book a few years ago called 'The Master Switch' that was essentially the history of electronic communications from the telegraph to the internet. By the end of the book it was obvious that all these mediums start off open and end up being closed. If history is any indication of what's to come then net neutrality will not last. I really hope I'm wrong because the implications of this bill are horrific and I see a very expensive internet experience in my future.

[@karrasue]

And lastly, WHY do we continue to battle the same battles over and over again? Why can't our decisions be final? At least for ten years.

[@frisky1727]

karrasue Right? It's bullshit. The FCC just comes back with some other bullshit excuse to repeal net neutrality to make the internet a more profitable place! Fuck Ajit Pai!

[@Imozart0341I]

Because those who want to take away freedoms to make profit will never stop. They feel Americans are weak and can’t keep up the fight

[@robertojasso1866]

I've never been one to advocate for violence but I sincerely think this situation merits it. The only way they will listen to us is if it affects them financially. Not only should we protest but we should also vandalise and cause property damage. We should all go to Verizon stores on December 7th and smash their windows!

[@MissNayNay]

All they care about is money, so I think what there should be is a nation wide boycott. These are greedy assholes who only care about their bottom line, that's it. Protest and anarchy is great, but a long with that, we need to hurt them where they'll will REALLY feel it by putting these companies in the red.

Just make the rich richer. And when you pay for slower internet, censorship perishes next.

Since people don't want to pay for this, won't companies LOSE money instead of making more? I could be wrong but they should think this through a little bit. But I hope this fails, it's absolutely ridiculous. It's a shame how money hungry the world has come.

[@vladislavdracula1763]

No. The vast majority of people only have one option for an ISP, so ISPs can do whatever they want and the consumer will be forced to pay.

[@muireannnisidach7890]

So what's next, re-privatization of all the major expressways? You logically can't justify one and not the other without revealing what the real motive is at work here. Then we move on to the public parklands that were set aside. It actually doesn't bother me having the entire country become a conglomerate of corporate interests. My problem is that it isn't merit based, never was. If we are going to be a corporation then make it a worker-owned, democratically governed corporation.

[@karrasue]

I grew up where we could buy a tv. Take it home. Plug it in. And watch 5-8 channels. My 30 yr old kids have no concept of this. The internet was given 'freely and free of charge' to the world. We have allowed ourselves to be enslaved. We really need to stop trying to such at the monopoly teat and figure out ways around them. Home servers. Why don't we set up community servers???

[@GordieKat]

Nice optimistic attitude there, David.

[@Xaphnir]

The pessimistic attitude is unfortunately the right one here. Net neutrality needs to keep winning over and over and over to stay. The telecom industry needs only win once for it to be gone forever.

[@GordieKat]

Xaphnir Not really. We won't let it stay gone and doing this will doom the current administration. It'll end up like Prohibition: so incredibly unpopular that they have no choice but to change it back.

[@Jessman9000]

Strike how would it doom the administration? especially if the ISPs are in favor of the current administration? You do know they will basically have the right to silence every opposing opinion on the internet right? if this passes the chances of any non-pro corporate media every being shown to the public are slim to none.

[@thunderpooch]

Good luck. Gorsuch, I LOVE CORPORATIONS, is now on the bench. This country is bought. It will only get worse until baby boomers all die off. The greatest generation raised the worst generation. Their motto became: "Gain wealth, forgetting all but self."

[@thehypnotoad3869]

Anonymous DueToFascists - that motto has been in effect since the first tribe chose someone to lead them. typically it was a "holy man". an arbiter to the gods. the ones in charge sought to capitalize on their position, that seems to be human nature.

[@thunderpooch]

The gain wealth, forgetting all but self motto takes root in large populations where people think they can exploit others or outsiders. It is often peddled by the leaders of a financial system for everyone to keep trying to scam one another. The idea is that the more wealth inequality rises and the more no cares about their neighbor, the more money will flow to the financiers creating the credit chase game. When small groups break down and large groups take root, you become more ok with fucking people over for gain. Take their money, take their land, pollute their water, kill the enemy, etc. See deregulated capitalism or anywhere fractional reserve banking has propped up as examples of this behavior.

[@therrydicule]

Anonymous DueToFascists You forget a thing: Google, Facebook, Amazon are on the side of net neutrality.

[@thunderpooch]

Oh my, so silly and naive. Shame shame shame. They once were, but as always, big business colludes together. Have you noticed, they aren't saying much about the end of net neutrality. The ISP's are working out deals with all the large capitalized corporations. They will unite and crush everybody else. Google, Amazon, Netflix, and FaceBag will all work out a sweet little deal, don't be foolish. This is the natural tendency of capitalism. The big boys all work together and create an illusion of competition and conflict. Then they crush everybody else. Those big 4 will have super high speed lanes. Everything else will slow to a snail's pace and they'll make you pay through the teeth. It's essentially a way for the ISP's to strengthen the big 4 and screw everyone else.

Andrew is Great! I love the OA podcast he is very good at making the law mentally accessible to people like me

[@masondeross]

The FTC doesn't want Title II removed, which they've said, because they know they don't have the legal authority to enforce any rules in court at the FTC, which again, the FTC has said themselves; afaik the FTC can only fine the ISP's for non-compliance, which wouldn't deter them as it would be pennies compared to the profits. That is the whole reason the FCC moved the internet to Title II, because when it was Title I, the ISP's won in court when suing the FCC to claim that ISP's can whatever they want. The judge advised the FCC to reclassify the internet to Title II, and then they would be able to enforce Net Neutrality in court. How do people forget this?

[@jebkfan9146]

YES WE CAN!!! WE WILL KEEP NET NEUTRALITY!!!! WE WILL FIGHT TILL THE VERY END FOR IT!!! An end that will NEVER COME!!!! VIVA LA NET NEUTRALITY!!!!

[@Epickillguy]

There is one way to fix this...stop using the internet. If we stop using it then our internet providers will make less money. No one is probably going to really do this.

[@jayyyzeee6409]

Even though people have the power to force corporations to behave by boycotting, I don't have hope that people will exercise that power to rescue the Internet after net neutrality dies because they're usually too lazy. Oh well.

[@Spid3y_69]

Having access to the internet is a human right. Is this technically going against human rights?!??

[@Sryper666]

This is what happenes when we dont pay attention and let businesses pass bills without our consent

[@slave7022]

Next election, we absolutely need an IQ test before voting, not everyone should be allowed to vote.

Let's be real: Resignation is not a recognition of an inevitable reality, nor is it an effective tool for effecting change. It's just giving up. Ajit Rai is going to do what he's going to do, but he's not the end of the road, so lets talk next steps. Let's talk about calling your congressional representatives, let's talk about identifying representatives who are opposed to net neutrality and what we can do to vote them out of office in 2018. The FCC only has this power because of congressional inaction, and we can always pressure them to act. Let's be real, the net as we know it is in danger, we're exhausted from everything, but now is not the time to give up.

[@timothytrevino3772]

We can though why do you think he tried hiding it before hand he's scared of us bearing down on him

[@IronBroccoli]

Opening arguments! Whoop whoop!

[@karrasue]

Do we need these carriers? Can't we set up our own servers across the country? Do we not still have the power of the masses by having everyone do some sort of scare tactic towards these monopolies? Fear factor as in not logging on for a weekend or something as such?

[@marcusmelton2295]

karrasue yes you can make up your own internet and become your own ISP. Look it up online they'll go step by step.

[@daolong51279]

karrasue problem is the infrastructure. The ISPs own the transmission lines. You would need to lay hundreds of thousands of miles of fiber optic plus build transmission stations just for a minimal backbone.

[@jayyyzeee6409]

Working for companies like Verizon and Comcast should be as embarrassing as working for Monsanto. If you can, work for an ethical company.

[@jsbart96]

Great interview, really enjoyed it

[@stevenbarton5949]

enjoyed???

[@zozozoeyyy5855]

The internet is huge... arguably exceeding the importance, influence, and even population of any one single nation. This includes the U.S.. We may be taking a loss for now but we'll be back on track one day. When is anybody's guess...

[@slash100588]

boycott verizon everyone cancel them now!!!

[@Karuminu2]

I think I'm going to be sick.

[@fkyoy9140]

I'm willing to take up arms and fight for this if it comes down to it, show them we don't take shit from anyone.

[@DesolateCosmo]

Maybe we can't but Congress can. There are members out there who do want net neutrality to continue.

[@rustyshackleford5668]

Take the FCC to the courts, then he HAS TO go through the comments.

[@1337GameDev]

3:40 - Then wtf was the point of wasting time on comments? What the hell. To give people an "impression" of power to influence the FCC?

[@MCNinja38TR1]

I believe regulation laws can be taken to the supreme court, and eventually will work towards the "unfair competition" if I'm not mistaken. What needs to happen is if this throttling occurs, then users can complain to the provider companies, and force someone to file a lawsuit, and get net neutrality rules passed again.

[@marceletta]

And I'm over here just trying to pay for internet...struggling to pay for it....fuck this...

[@lujujj4157]

the age of intelligence is over now if your too poor you can't access parts of the internet this is big brother at its finest

[@furyberserk]

I work security. I need to use the Internet to check my schedule. I don't get paid much, but now I'll be getting less. Cause I need it.

[@Rikon01]

If every citizen in america donated 10 dollars we can create a better internet than we have atm its very easy

[@youthinkyouknow343]

I don't think these companies will start charging more out of the blue, they will try to hide it and some will fall for it. I'm sick of these companies overcharging for internet and phone service. If you feel that way to don't agree to anything to those door to door and phone salesmen until you read the whole contract and do the math to chose any plan.
