Re: Net Neutrality

I don't entirely know all of the issues involved - but I have mixed feelings about it. Yes, I believe that net neutrality is a good thing. I don't think that corporations should be greedily taking extra money from people, and keeping people from accessing stuff they'd normally be accessing. Especially in re: piracy. I'm quite pro piracy.

But also, I wonder if the world might be better off if we were literally forced to spend less time online? It's not as if the way we're currently doing things - with constantly feeling obliged to be on social media and whatnot - is heading anywhere good, either.

Getting to known piracy hubs will be next to impossible since ISPs will be able to slow your connection down to nothing, censor what you’re allowed to see, and just straight up make accessing some content impossible.

Will it affect the entire world's internet though, or just America's? I keep seeing things about "call your reps" and it's all US based.

New Anon:

I don't know what the global effect would be or to what extent it could be a negative effect. I could imagine if a website primarily has an American audience, it might die or change into something less desirable if it looses the biggest part of its audience/customer base (not sure how likely that would be for pirate sites, but I could imagine it happening for smaller US-based merchants or gaming sites or something).

Do you really think people will spend less time on social media? They'll probably be forced to because they'll pay the extra $10 a month for it, they might as well get their money's worth. Meanwhile, how much time does the average joe really spend on factcheck and snopes?

Ugh. I was hoping there would be a bright side. Society moving to a better place and all.
