The argument is not that the internet would suddenly die, it’s that it would get chopped up and rebundled a-La cable tv. And we’re seeing isps give preferential treatment to services that pay them, just not instantly and only that because it’s been only 2 years (edit: comment below points out it’s been 5), business sales cycles are long and they aren’t stupid enough to immediately turn the heat up to 11 while the frog is still paying attention.
- parineum 3y ago> The argument is not that the internet would suddenly die From honest/informed actors, you're correct but the FUD campaign during the repeal was incredibly dramatic and exaggerated.
- dahfizz 3y ago> because it’s been only 2 years The net neutrality repeal took effect in 2018, its been 5 years https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/11/technology/net-neutrality-repeal.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/11/technology/net-neutrality...
- mattnewton 3y agoApologies idk where I got the 2 years from. But I still feel like this too short a time period to claim the experiment is run , especially when several states like California[0] have their own net neutrality laws since 2018. I feel it’s kinda like saying that we don’t need federal emissions standards because the sky hasn’t fallen without them (but they are in major markets like California).
