Can't wait for ATT to decide it wants to build it's own video streaming service and stop offering youtube and netflix to customers.

why would they stop offering it when they can simply charge money for it (as they already do)

net neutrality is a miniscule piece of legislation with a likely positive intent, though existing on the wrong level, as it should be part of some more overriding principle

it is notable only because it is a vehicle for privileged white kids to demonstrate that they actually care about politics, just not anything actually important

i.e; ignoring their countrymen getting shot by police for no reason would be a bit hollow if they can't simultaneously demonstrate that it is not that they are generally incapable of political expression, it is just less important to them than what tv shows they can stream next season

"why would ___ stop offering ___ when they can simply charge money for it" fits many of those examples

probably not "most" as i previously characterized, but hence i said "probably for the same reason"

Bruh the modern way they do it and are doing it right now is to let their favored service be unlimited and then tie disfavored services to the normal data cap or throttling eg t-mobile advertising that Netflix is now unlimited means there's other things that aint

You can then charge huge amounts for overages or to lift throttling

BTW mobile providers like AT&T and T-mobile have been explicitly exempted from net neutrality regs the whole time because they're not wireline
