You probably shouldn’t go anywhere near Reddit or imgur for the next month or so.

“You probably shouldn’t go anywhere near Reddit or imgur”

This is my general policy.

By next month those will probably be included in the “executive” package of your ISP

Because that used to happen all the time before 2015?

Yeah, unrelated, but it did.

By changing classification you’re basically saying that you approved of the monopolistic behavior and trust them with your internet necessities.

I know that perhaps you dissagree, but that’s Ajit Pai’s posture.

It happened but we fixed it without title 2.

And you say you trust the government more than the companies you choose to pay, you want the people you’re forced to pay to protect you? why not just switch ISPs.

Monopolies weren’t fixed.

It used to be protected like water or electricity is, now its protected like cable TV.

But what would a non title-2 solution sound like? I’m curious.

The article does raise important ideas, but I think that the coverage is sort of flawed in the sense that mobile ISPs vs fixed ISPs tend to be regulated differently. It also shows a supposed Portuguese pricing plan, when you click it, it takes you to a Quartz article that claims it’s a mock up.

I guess the title-2 protections were just band aids as they tried to figure out something more logical and fair!

New tech will save the day, not the government. Trump can’t repeal Innovation.

I suppose it will eventually! But I think that one of the hardest parts of government is what innovation you give priority to!

Trump has certainly accelerated automated coal mining innovation, but renewable or carbon neutral energy? Well... no...

I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of sites that were vocally anti-repeal are going to have their traffic mysteriously throttled.

Yeah, because they shout a lot for their users but never quite bit(by that I mean sue the FCC)
