That simply not true, it's the slippery-slope fallacy. Observe: "When you let them take away any weapons, they'll take away all the weapons. Therefore, it should be my right to own nuclear weapons".
> We have now 2 internet service providers ....
Domain registrars are not ISPs in any sense of the word, least of all the net neutrality sense of the word.
> Nazi's didn't rise in germany because they were allowed a platform to speak from, they've risen because they've silenced anyone who opposed them.
The two parts of that sentence directly contradict each other. The second part is (Not allowed free speech -> Inability to gain power).
- dogma1138 9y agoActually they are ISPs, Net Neutrality goes way beyond if your ISP can throttle traffic based on content, that is the least important argument. It's about the not having any discrimination based on the nature of content across the internet period. And no it's not a slippery slope, freedom of speech is paramount, all speech should be free period, regardless of what stupidity comes out of someone's mouth. You can be a holocaust denier racist spewing racist slur at orphans and as european jew whose parents were born in 1942 and then had to live behind the iron curtain will fight your right to say anything you want even if you would say that to me i might punch you in the face afterwards.

Therefore, it should be my right to own nuclear weapons". It's not a slippery slope fallacy. It's the typical American view on free speech. VS say Canada where Nazi's aren't protected in spreading their hate.
