I don't understand why we are using incomprehensible-without-supplemental-material terms like "Zero Rating" and "Net Neutrality" when discussing these matters.

I don't understand why we are using incomprehensible-without-supplemental-material terms like "Zero Rating" and "Net Neutrality" when discussing these matters. It's like they were crafted with the explicit purpose of confusing laymen, like someone challenged you to a game of chance, gave you loaded dice, and you just went with it.
- johansch 11y agoSuggest some better terms?
- ethanbond 11y agoBetter terms aren't even really necessary (though they'd be nice). But at least some sort of explanation in the article of what exactly it is that we're discussing would be nice.
- Cakez0r 11y ago"toll free" would be clearer than "zero rated". Net neutrality is trickier though...
- jjoonathan 11y agoIf you're on the Net Neutrality side then "toll free" obscures the downside even more thoroughly than "zero rated". So it's clearer... if you're facebook :)
- benihana 11y agoDid you even understand the frustration of OP's post? It's not the terms, it's the fact that the terms are stated with no context. If OP is frustrated about the assumption that everyone knows what terms like Zero Rating and Net Neutrality mean and wants some information about the issues, how could they reasonably suggest better terms?
