that's wrong. Net neutrality was the norm, until a brief period after verizon challenged it in court.

It would have been much easier to leave the regulations be, and yet they felt the pressing need to repeal them. It must be that they intend to do something different having changed the laws. I doubt they will be open about it, at least not at first.
- alienantfarm 8y agoI'm just not convinced the actual outcome of repealing regulations only passed in 2015 has created the apocalyptic internet wasteland that was promised by a lot of people Maybe there's an element of "jumping the shark" by the many influencers who pushed the campaign so aggressively. And perhaps that could be responsible for my current skepticism If anything indications are the internet is getting "better" https://www.recode.net/platform/amp/2018/12/12/18134899/internet-broafband-faster-ookla https://www.recode.net/platform/amp/2018/12/12/18134899/inte... One thing I have wondered: with net neutrality laws passed, would ISPs be prevented from offering "unlimited/unmetered Facebook" as a promotion?
