but they could have. still could. and you might not even know. and the fact that one of our political teams has been fighting SO HARD against net neutrality is a big red flag.
protections are important even if someone's not actively and noticeably abusing people right this minute.
- ars 3y agoThere's been exactly zero problems in 20 years (the idea was introduced in 2003), yet somehow "still could. and you might not even know.". No one is fighting "so hard" this is a dead topic. T-Mobile offers to zero rate YouTube if you let them throttle it - it's your choice. Would that be legal under Net Nutrality? Would they have to get permission from YouTube?
- johnnyanmac 3y ago>No one is fighting "so hard" this is a dead topic. AI was a pretty dead topic after the 80's boom as well. Hell, we can argue VR is still a "dead" topic, but we know sometime in our (millenial+) lifetime that we're going to have major landmark cases over VR/AR tech. I'd rather patch loopholes before they get abused at this point.
