Is pretty important, I guess. Something about Comcast literally claiming ownership of the Internet. What do you think?

Personally, I think it's problematic that a sitting Senator has a racial slur for a last name.

I will fight them.

If I lose I will go off into the internet outskirts where they can't catch me and make a life for myself on the wild internet frontier.

i just dont care anymore...the whole "this is the last day to save the internet" rhetoric has been endlessly run into the ground for years and years now. i think i signed an e-petition for net neutrality back in undergrade while Bush was still in office. if Comcast is set to gain anything at all from whatever happens then the poo poo has already been decided and there is nothing that can be done about it (even more obvious if you have paid attention to what they have pulled off in the last year or so without any sort of opposition whatsoever)

that was p much their plan. eventually people just get apathetic and stop caring. yea sure wiki, google and everything else did blackouts to raise awareness and petitions and poo poo the first, second, and third time this poo poo has come up. but now we just don't care so bring it on :getin: millenials ownnnnn

in california, we shot down some parental notification proposition about 3x but was finally not on the ballot. but if they kept trying they prolly could have got it passed because :effort:

e: the funniest thing, cumblast and co havent even tried to rebrand net neturality as like 'improved internet speed and anti-government control of the internet and privacy act'

gently caress it, just gently caress it all. burn it all to the ground. squeeze whatever drops of lingering pleasure you can out of this withered blasted husk of western society and then prepare yourself for a long and endless night

No, we can make a difference! Be sure to call your senator so he can jack off to the sadness in your voice, crying out for justice!

If this poo poo doesn't get passed now it will get passed down the road. And I'm loving exhausted. :smithicide:

the thing about net neutrality is that if ISPs were just going to be throttling netflix and poo poo, it wouldn't be a problem imo, since the benefit to society:bandwidth used ratio of streaming movies is probably the lowest of anything on the internet, but that's the only thing that will motivate enough people to seriously mobilize in support of it. like, only nerds would give a poo poo if ISPs blatantly played favorites with throttling traffic to various sites and as long as netflix is left alone, the masses will be content.
