What is net neutrality and how could it affect you? - BBC News

This week the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will decide on whether to repeal an Obama-era law that protects "net neutrality". It refers to the principle that all traffic on the internet is treated equally.

literally nothing about this is good

[@xorboy]

Well, Ajit Pai is getting rich after he is done with the FCC chair and gets rehired into Verizon on a cocktail do-nothing-job. At least that is one person that gets something good out of this. *dark irony*

[@kato5397]

It creates competition for better ISP services. Also Google doesn’t adhere to Net Neutrality. Google connects directly with the NYIIX aka a fast lane

[@eli6797]

Kato if anything it brings less comp. More comp for the big companies to face each other but at the same time there would only be like 1 or 2 big company's for something like social media and they'll have their own strengths/weaknesses so they won't really try to outdo the other big companys. In this sense we would only have the same company's with no improvement cuz no competition and eventually you'll have to pay more for the things you want like KZbin and things like the porn business will go down cuz noones gonna pay for it especially all the 13 yes olds who depend on the parents money.

[@kato5397]

your average plumbus that’s not how it works dude. Any broadband company that wants to enter the market under net neutrality will have to be picked by the FCC. That one agency will dictate who can compete based on their personal bias. Having an agency that can shut you down based on arbitrary rules is not good for a free market. Also Google is hypocritical since they doesn’t adhere to net neutrality. They connect directly to the (NYIIX) and (LINK)

[@winonadaphne6445]

that's google's choice. banning net neutrality altogether forces everyone into something they dont want.

[@user-yx9xn2ub5f]

The issue is that since nn is gone its so much harder for new startups.

[@davigurgel2040]

No, because net providers are cartelized by state, if wasn't, net neutrality would not even change nothing. The state smash your legs, give you the crutch and then tell that if wasn't for the state, you couldnt walk

[@JohnLloydScharf]

All Internet Services are neutral when it comes to making money. All of them have to compete. If they started charging extra charges for services on the Net they did not create, they would be buried by competition. Cell phone services are rapidly doing away with charges for long distance within the US for that very reason. If your cable or phone connected ISP started charging extra, believe me, I would go into business with a public wifi and a satellite antenna to beat them MYSELF. That will eventually happen through the cell towers, anyway, IF THE FCC WILL GET OUT OF THE WAY.

[@ticcitoby5091]

Keegan's Life The majority of people is against the repealing of net neutrality maybe they have their own reasons against it and not only this video. Keep in mind today we have access to more than one source. We are able to form our own opinions with multiple sources of information but with internet providers having the ability of blocking off certain sites or slowing them down we don't have that same privilege.

[@ticcitoby5091]

Keegan's Life Yeah I've seen it been exaggerated, maybe it's because we're afraid of change and not knowing how it will affect us directly.

[@emilianocazares8493]

[@NoralbaO]

Agree !

[@devynparks4800]

Keegan's Life we don't think that they are certainly going to start upping the prices of everything but it does give ISPs way too much power, i don't really trust them to with the best interests of the people. Also if it means equality for all on the internet why would anyone be against it

[@nerdicwarrior]

You're a bit late in reporting this, BBC. You should have brought this up before the FCC vote.

[@Mr.Legend_Speaks]

Kairu Otaku it’s not like the people had a vote for it anyway.

[@pokemonkid7]

Your right because the vote is done and we just got fucked again..i can't believe more people or citizens didn't pay more attention to this vote because in a year or so the ones not paying attention will all the sudden start caring when it's to late to care..

[@gabe.9176]

Will Stone we don’t get to decide, no matter how much we as Americans complain ,Ajit Pai and his fellow republican heads still control the majority of the fcc and have the final say. Not us

[@scroom1202]

You guys do realize that it Congress could still tell the FCC to sit the fuck down. The Supreme Court could be compelled by citizens to overturn the repeal. Since it is no longer a federal law the states themselves could make laws for Net Neutrality. The FCC did what we knew they would, but unelected idiots don't get the final say, or did you all miss that part of US Government class.

[@pokemonkid7]

Scroom120 everyone has their hands out getting paid..or did u forget to go fuck off..

[@missfluffybunz]

I wonder what would happen if everyone stopped paying for internet.

[@FirstLast-kz3ll]

Miss FluffyBunz .

[@eli6797]

It would bring us back to the 80's and bellow to when there was no internet. No one will accept it, more people enjoying the world, but at the same time tech will stay the same and no improvement cuz we would only need say phones for the purposes of calling and all the TV apps will be gone and we even all have the same TV provider and they could cut or add any content they want. It'll be like a more free north korea

[@jakobhindle1508]

[@jackblack2087]

ajadrew - you just buy their drivel hook line and sinker... don't you? Should FedEx be required to ship all packages at the same speed (no over night, no 2 day air)? This is the argument that you're buying. There are so many things that we pay extra for in order to get better access or convenience... Should Harvard be required to lower their tuition to that of lesser Universities? Look, Net Neutrality was implemented by Liberals to insure that the current Liberal quazi-monopolies keep their monopoly and make it much more difficult for other companies to challenge those monopolies. You know, like the monopolies the networks have with network TV... Liberal companies currently have the most control over content on the internet and they want to keep it that way (it worked out very well for ABC, NBC and CBS... all Liberal and all of them push Liberal news programming every chance they can... even if it's FAKE LIBERAL NEWS). IF YOU CAN CONTROL THE MESSAGING THEN YOU CAN CONTROL THE POPULATION... JUST LIKE THE NAZI'S DID.

[@aaronlandry3934]

And they'll have there fav corporatations online like Google or whoever they want. There will no longer be real news of wtf is actually going on in the world.

If I am wrong then why aren't more talking out about it ? Distracted about other things ? Nah. Very few show a commitment or a willingness to stand for a actual believe etc. They just stand by and try to look like they care whilst being paid. All whilst blaming the opposition etc for the children going homeless etc this Christmas. Nothing changes when greed is involved.

[@PullOverItsDaPopo]

It's all the plan of the Freemasons. They want America to fall so they will be the only ones to survive. They want us to be a third world country while they sit on top of the worlds money. George Soros said America will fall and the only ones who will survive will be the ones in a certain group. Freemasons are very real. There's nothing people can do about it. I see freemason buildings all around where I live and my uncle's funeral was at a freemason church. They've been hiding alot of factsfrom us. Like the fact Jesus is a sun God and he's actually Lucifer. Trust me they will never tell u though. I'm not going to scare y'all though but we should stop with the spiritual and relgion stuff because since the beginning of time it's been a hoax. There's this book called the NWO, it has loads of info. It talks about how long ago these group of men were going around telling people they need to worship the sun or it would go away. So that's why ppl started sun worshipping. That's why u have all these sun gods in Egypt and their stories are just like Jesus. But the thing is their all Satan. Notice how u go to church on SUNday, and the Bible literally forces u to say "Jesus is the son/sun of God" which never made sense to me. Aren't we all gods children? It's a play on words. He has many names. For some reason they want us to sun worship. It's very fucked up. Do not sun worship or worship jesus. That's why Africa is fucked up. And India is too because they worship so many gods which are jinns and demons. Idid 8 months of research worshiped all of these gods tried all relgion and I finally have the truth. It makes so much sense. We keep giving energy to these things. I'm not saying this is true but this is even scarier. I read somewhere that we are being reincarnated through the sun so the jinns and the fallen angels can keep torturing us and making us serve them. That would make sense as to why they want us to worship the sun. But then again that's something I can't prove cuz I'm not dead. It may or may not be true. People must have found out sun worship was evil so they made up Jesus to trick us.

[@strchsrarchive]

And on top of that, people are going to start pointing fingers at political sides and blaming them for this. No person in their right mind would want this. If we want our freedom back we must fight as one. This is not a matter of "look what the conservatives did" this is a matter of our internet freedoms being stripped away from us and possibly never to return. And if we succeed in winning this war we should still fight to ensure nothing like this will ever happen again.

[@eli6797]

LiGht YaGami yeah but eventually if this happens you won't have the freedom to make this comment or you might have to pay monthly or such to even have the ability to comment

[@Streifi]

They did for years, because in other parts of the world stuff like that is a topic too, also in America the topic is around since 1996, even when it wasn't always around under the same name. But people usually are ignorant and complacent to what grants their freedom until they lose it. That's why you usually tend to find more discussions about stuff like this afterwards, because shit needs to hit the fan, before it hits social media.

[@hamletmander2651]

Well, just be careful what we support. We don't want to end up in a worse situation than we started or a situation that's the same, but with our country more drained after some turmoil. We have options left to run out of yet. I have a feeling those options might run dry, but personally, I think we must be patient. The second that screen happens is the second things change.

[@balleberry6678]

As a high school student how are many children going to be able to do their work? If its going to cost you to use google or any website for that fact how are our children going to be able to flourish in school and have the right tools for development. Personally everything at my school is through google docs, turnitin, noodletools etc.. and i know so many parents are not in a financial state to afford to pay for web access. My opinions might not factual, and a voice of a "child" doesn't matter, but I do feel as if our government is wrongfully playing the freedom citizens have in america that i learn about everyday. "The greatest danger to american freedom is a government that ignores the constitution." -Thomas Jefferson

[@MemeGang420]

Mal Mal I feel that school has evolved and that "going to the library" will not satisfy today's school needs. Our lives have become more busy, there is no time to sit in a library and look for a book that might answer ONE pf your questions.

[@baranUtube]

Mal Mal libraries are dying. The world needs to improve. That's why we're moving onto things like electric cars (Which I'm sad about because I'm a mechanic and who ever thinks electric cars are good they can die in a hole) and electric this and that. So why would our providers want us to go back in time and use libraries when they could help children out with school work. Idk if they realize this but teenagers today are their future. Soon enough we will be the ones telling them how we want things to happen around here

[@patriciablea6467]

I also do not want any part of the internet if we have to start paying to use services on the internet. The cable companies hate You Tube. The cable companies will want to bill us for everything we watch on the internet which also means that You Tube will not be able to provide the music, documentaries, unbiased news and so much more that we all have enjoyed over the years because the cable companies only care about money and they will use censor to control over what we will be able to view. Facebook will also suffer the consequences of the repeal of Net Neutrality, instead of a free download, everyone will have to buy access to it in a package with Facebook and You Tube. Groups have become the backbone for Facebook, once these companies are under the control of the cable companies This is going to majorly affect all music groups, crime groups, etc. Not everyone will have the same access to all these sites. The cable companies are going to charge every one of us for using these services.

I think one of the biggest fears Internet users have with the repeal of Net Neutrality is their lack of options when it comes to ISPs. The Internet was designed to be Open and Accessible... But when people don't get to choose their best option, it restricts what the Internet can be.

Also it encourages you to be a better version of yourself and always improve to attract a partner. So you are an idiot who promotes prostitution... I hope one day the porn industry will fall and people will be red pilled and open their eyes

[@honor2425]

RavidGames some people need to have sex everyday and Some people don’t. Just because you don’t have issues does not mean you need to bring anyone else down. Not everything In life is about finding a partner. Not everyone can have sex. Think about the people who had a loved partner die. They can’t move on for a while or sometimes they cannot move on at all. Yet they still have needs. Yes, Sex is more rewarding with a partner, but abstinence is dumb. Have sex or relieve it yourself. It is simple until stupid people like you have to ruin everything. I am republican, but I don’t think porn is a problem. Masturbation is normal, sex is normal as well.

People will pay for whatever they "want" these days and not even do anything about it. My wife and I were talking about this issue and she disagreed with me. Told me "People will not pay for just anything they want want. They would sooner just not pay for it." SO I decided right then and there to test my theory. As we were getting in our car on a busy Xmas shopping Saturday I noticed a car was waiting for our parking spot near the front door of the mall. Idea!!! I got back out of our car walked up to the driver waiting and said "For $5.00 I will pull out right now so you can have this spot or I can go back in the mall and shop some more." The guy in the car immediately pulled out a five dollar bill and handed it to me, he even thanked me!! I help up the $5.00 bill and waved it at my wife, then handed it back to him and said "Thanks but I can't take your money for something I don't really own. But you did help support a point I was making to my wife. Have a Merry Xmas." and I walked back to my car, pulled out and left. She now agrees with me, people will willing pay for what they "want" to save them a few extra steps. Now, I agree with Venrox "Guess its time to start playing OUTSIDE and try to find FRIENDS" I am not going to pay for a FAST lane with my ISP and I hate to think that the little start up company has not a chance of making it. Besides what kind of world do we live in when the big company stock holders can't afford a personal island of their own named after themselves.

I don't agree at all. Internet, as it was until now, is our most important weapon to defend ourselves against propaganda. It was the best way to inform yourself on a topic by reading tons of different opinions and making you oun opinion. While newspapers and big news sites are easily manipulated, in the old internet you would always find sites that argued them. Sure, those who argued were not always right but at they gave variety of opinion. As it will be, when you will search for a topic you will find tons of paying sites (that will most likely be easily manipulated) and just then, when you are fed-up, you will find other sites. In addition to that, internet is also your most powerful mean to make tourself heard.
