Net Neutrality is two words that start with 'n'. lots of pictures on imgur and posts on facebook have been generated by these two words.

net neutrality is when you take some good net and some bad net and they neutralize each other. fcc wants to upset the balance due to corporate interests

the removal gives netflix an excuse to raise their prices, and thats about the only aspect of it that will affect u. there are some good parts and some bad parts, and they just about even out, so its like whatever who cares what they pick. companies like the githubs and whoever else will lose some profits now, and thats why they were encouraging their users to fight The GOod Fight. and most of the users went along with it because they cant think for themselves and just agree with what hellogiggles and buzzfeed says.

without net neutrality we are going back to the dark age of the internet aka 2014, but now neflix subscribers will need to pay an extra dollar every month

on the bright side everything else about the internet is being reset to 2014, so pewdiepie is popular again and you can get a lot of mileage out of luigi death stare, awkward seal, none of my business kermit, and ascii shrug

net neutrality is a competition between google/facebook/netflix/other large online firms vs carriers on who gets to control and make the most profit from the internet

perhaps a system where they have to pay an "up the stream provider" to send their packets roughly in proportion to the amount of traffic they send could be put in place

they already meter your internet unless you subscribe to a video service they own like u-verse iptv or directv with the actual dish (directv now doesn't count even though they own it). otherwise you either need to pay $30 extra per month or subscribe to their gigabit fiber tier to get unmetered service.

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
