I think a lot of us here don’t really understand Net Neutrality, other than the fact that it was DEMOCRATS demanding it - so it had to be bad for both the country and for freedom.

Now we hear of a guy going to jail for a felony over it - makes me wonder more, just what the hell they were going to with Net Neutrality.

...I think a lot of us here don’t really understand Net Neutrality...

I am not a super guru on it, but I think the way things work without it is that content providers can pay more to make their content faster. Notice their competitors will not be slower, they just won't as fast as those who are willing to pay.

With it everyone is the same speed.

I don't understand people getting all worked up over someone paying for an advantage...

Ajit Pai? Markara Man? Welcome to the third world...

Pai at least appears to be somewhat like Dinesh D’Souza, albeit born here. Mitch McConnell got him into the FCC during the Obama years, so one can make one’s own opinion, but he voted to repeal net neutrality after all.

As for the defendant, a picture is worth a thousand words, none of them good.

Net neutrality started as a Chinese commie thing ... I’m still not sure why...
