I remember meeting Ajit Pai at a party for the first time. He walked up to me, shook my hand, and introduced himself: "You know, even though niggers are only 13% of the United States population, they account for over 80% of the violent crimes. Nigger chimps are subhuman scum that need to be shipped back to Africa." Then he offered me some coke. I didn't accept it, partly because I didn't have any money, but mostly because he wanted me to use his asshole as a straw.
The Information Age is over. The Internet will become pay-to-access and over 99% of all websites will be blocked or throttled. This is our future. Make no mistake, this will happen. Prepare now. Hereās a brief list of things you need to do ASAP. This list should not be considered exhaustive:
Get at least two external hard drives, but you may need even more depending on how much you need to download. You are going to download EVERYTHING on the Internet thatās even remotely important to you and back it up. You will likely spend at least $150-$200 on this, but it will pay enormously to have the peace of mind.
Get every single bit of personal information off NOW! Anything you store on āthe cloudā like Flickr or Google Drive, you need to get off immediately. You will likely not be able to access it later. A brief list of sites to scrub would include: family photo albums, banking/financial information, social media accounts, any shopping sites or anything that has your credit card information such as Amazon, etc. Download anything you can think of to your external hard drives, back it up, and delete it from the Internet as best as youāre able.
Upload NOTHING to the Internet from here on out that you might want to take down later. You can lose access to any website at any time. This is how you must use the new post-Information Age Internet from now on.
Start downloading any websites or things of interest that you use. Especially small personal sites or obscure webpages. Remember, you canāt assume that search engines will turn up any sites you want. In fact, you canāt assume search engines will even be around anymore. What is there to search for when 99% of the Internet is blocked? Youāll have a small list of sites that your ISP offers and thatās it. A good first start is Wikipedia. Itās not perfect, but itās one of the best sources for general knowledge available. The file size isnāt as big as you might expect (though still big at around 20 GBs) because itās mostly text. Update this every month or so, especially if your ISP makes noises about throttling or blocking it. Download an offline version of a mapping service like Google Earth or Maps and update it frequently as well.
Download any porn you like to watch. Yes, your porn is definitely in danger. No ISP wants to be seen āsupportingā porn so they will likely block this before anything else.
Start pirating any music, movies, tv shows, games, etc, that you enjoy. Whatever your prior feelings were about piracy, fuck them. Your Internet is about to die and your access to everything you enjoy as well. Internet piracy is about to be a thing of the past anyway, so indulge yourself now while you can. Alternatively, you could buy everything to download, but that just seems ridiculous in light of the fact that your Internet prices are going to go up to access the exact same shit you did before. Think of it as debt that youāll make up by paying at least 50-250 extra dollars a month for the rest of your life. A little āpiracyā seems justified to me.
If you have an online business, I honestly donāt know what the fuck to tell you, except to offer my condolences that your livelihood is about to be stripped away. You should be in survival mode right now. Keep in mind that different ISPs will support and block different sites. You could be blocked on one, throttled on another, and have the fast lane on another. Either way, you will very likely lose business unless you bribe most of the ISPs. Weāll find out details in the coming months and years on exactly how theyāll fuck over small businesses. For now, just breathe. This likely wonāt happen all at once, so you have some time to get your affairs in order. Brick and mortar stores that the Internet replaced will likely start to make a comeback, so if you can, start thinking about making a transition.
Get a VPN and learn how to use it. This will likely be made illegal in the near future, but for now, this is your last line of defense against the ISPs. Even here, donāt upload anything you want to take down later. There are free ones, but a good one will run you some dollars per month, but itās still cheaper than the prices youāll soon start paying for Internet, and youāll have access to everything you did before, albeit much slower. You donāt have to use this for everything (yet), but you at least need to be familiar with it.
Stay informed. Hereās a brief list of sites that support Net Neutrality: https://www.battleforthenet.com/. https://www.savetheinternet.com/. https://www.publicknowledge.org/. https://dearfcc.org/. http://www.theopeninter.net/. Donāt expect these to stay up forever. You may consider downloading any relevant information from them. Keep in mind that throttling and blocking will likely happen slowly at first. The ISPs will be very tricky and in many cases, it may even start out imperceptibly. If a frog is put into cool water that slowly heats up, it will die before it knows what happened, whereas it will jump out if the water immediately switches to boiling. I suspect this is the strategy the majority of the ISPs will take. It will happen gradually over many months and years until we slowly accept the new restricted Internet. This is the main reason to remain very aware of exactly what the ISPs are doing and to call bullshit on every single thing, even if it initially seems minor.
Stay vigilant. Even now, this isnāt over. The majority of America is with us, and public outrage will bring those numbers even higher. This is a fight that at least we have strong public support for. Start campaigning, keep calling your representatives, keep the discussion alive everywhere on the Internet before they block it. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
tbh if you want to be considered a utility then you cant be biased, companies like reddit proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they wanted to implement their own rules
the electric company cant cut you off because you used the electricity in a racist way nah mean
its logistically almost impossible to implement all the bullshit fast lanes and omg pay 12 dollars a month for facebook or whatever stupid people thought it implied, itd literally cost isps more money to artificially limit and track everything than it does now
companies wanted net neutrality because it meant they could use as much bandwidth as they liked, now they might have to pay for a premium
either way theyre going to make less money now and thats what all the fuss was about
I live in Australia. Our Internet speeds are cancer. I get buffering on 1080p videos and it takes minutes to download one video. I've learned to deal with it. Why the fuck are the left in America getting so pissed at throttling? Place them on Australian internet and watch them suffer.
This was democratic. The people voted a party into every branch of government that wanted to repeal net neutrality.
Both sides are not the same here. They are nearly nowhere.
It's depressing that after a year of Fascist in the White House, this is the issue Reddit gets mad at the most. This is why trump won. When certain demographics are so privileged that they value their porn speed and vidya more than the lives of minorities, the healthcare of millions s, the next generation of the surpreme court, climate change or curbing authoritarianism in Asia.
This is what you deserve when the price of your internet is more important to you than literal human lifes and you still refuse to vote for the party that is in agreement with you on this issue.
Looks like they're more of a "filthy ledditors deserve to have their freeze peach taken away because they weren't with her" thing, ignoring that fucking them over fucks themselves over too.
Reddit should start a massive campaign about how shooting yourself in the head actually kills you and you shouldn't ever do it. Just spam it on every sub, for days on end. At the same time, /pol/ should start a just as big campaign that cyanide is very toxic and you shouldn't ever take it. I think that could solve a lot of problems with the Internet really quick.
Your agenda is obviously to fuck Ajit Pai, a man who looks eerily similar to a retarded kangaroo, in the ass while you watch the United States burn to the ground.
You do realize this could be used to stifle market competition, correct? Not only will major companies be able to purchase QoS-related advantages such as packet routing prioritization (which is zero-sum), but they could also pay to have their competitors' traffic de-prioritized.
There's been back- and- forth litigation for years, which is what prompted the FCC to eventually classify broadband traffic as telecommunications. And no, you couldn't do that shit while the recently repealed policy was still in place.
This is a good point. I take it peering policies between U.S. and international providers will ensure that QoS changes won't affect intercontinental transit, right? This will still affect U.S. products that other countries might use, although that would be less direct.
Circle jerking is canon for the far right. If you far right recruitment manuals all they do is make super edgy right wing jokes and then just slowly ween people off the irony. Anybody calls them out they just paint them as someone who isn't in on the very cool jokes.
Why are you so cavalier assuming nobody works toward retardation? We've had plenty of examples in /r/drama that refute your problematic generalization.
However that is beside the point, you were born that way, baby.
Ok I just checked out that guy. He appears to be a blend of snakes, trolls, and alt-right Nazis. I saw several clear violations of US law. Liberal redditors are smarter than the average cookie, he had to know we'd be on to him. Sad.
No ISP is going to block jack shit. So your Netfux might be 480p on your basic plan instead of 4086K or whatever. Who fucking cares. Get a fucking grip you inbred mong

What ISP would even have the balls to introduce pay-by-month packages anyway? That's not easy money, that's company suicide.
