Well, people who are anti-NN would never voice their opinion in this climate. They will get downvoted to hell.

- ikeboy 9y agoI recall trying to argue against NN years ago here and getting down voted. It's interesting that economists largely are against NN as well. http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/net-neutrality-ii http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/net-neutrality-ii
- extra88 9y agoSee my other comment, that's not what those charts say. Less than half of those economists surveyed think that net neutrality is bad policy.
- ikeboy 9y agoThere's a significant number of uncertain ones but those should be excluded, and then the ones against NN significantly outnumber the ones in favor. I don't see any other reasonable way to spin that.
- kelnos 9y ago> There's a significant number of uncertain ones but those should be excluded That's not how polling works. Well, unless your plan is to twist the results to fit your desired narrative.
- ikeboy 9y agoAssuming you're building a policy off of poll responses, how would percent of uncertainty change the policy? It's not clear to me that it should. If it's possible to test, then maybe higher uncertainty should mean you spend more on testing before rolling out policies, but otherwise I don't see what else you'd do with it. Could you enlighten me on what you would do?
- dingo_bat 9y agoThat's not what those charts say. Less than a sixth of the economists surveyed think nn is a good policy.
- orthecreedence 9y agoLet's ask beekeepers what they think of Net Neutrality while we're at it. Or how about professional dog walkers too? "Children under the age of 6 overwhelmingly oppose Net Neutrality."
- extra88 9y agoThe comments on this article are clearly a "safe space" for anti-NN people. Others are engaging with them and they're not all being downvoted to hell.
