Re: Net Neutrality question

(Anonymous) 2017-12-19 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
I don’t necessarily know that ISPs will divide the internet into shopping sites, social sites, and so on. It’s more like Verizon and Comcast and Time Warner and whatever other ISPs will prioritize sites and services that either they or their parent companies own, or that other companies have paid them to speed up traffic to.

Everything else might load slowly or not at all, so what sites load easily would depend on what ISP you went with. Independently owned or small sites might well be screwed because they may have to pay every ISP out there or be stuck in molasses-slow nothing-loads land forever, but if they’re small or independently run they probably can’t afford to pay up.

And to top it all off, it’s now legal for ISPs to censor content that criticizes them (like a site organizing pro-net neutrality rallies), or content that might hurt their bottom line (such as a list of senators and congresscritters who took money from telecomm companies in exchange for gutting net neutrality), or that they just disagree with (say, a site arguing that internet access should be universally available to everybody) so that people never even see it.
