That's more because in the USA, net neutrality was very short lived ?
It's not like ISPs cannot block/throttle customers at all, but what they are allowed to do is heavily regulated under net neutrality.
- bandrami 2y agoBut I really feel like the discourse here is ignoring the provider side. What net neutrality has meant is that Facebook is not allowed to subsidize data for its users. Like I said here in Sri Lanka I buy a data package for my phone and the data limits don't include Meta properties at all because Meta subsidizes our data packages, which is (or was until today) illegal in the US
- BlueTemplar 2y agoRight, but this being such a bare minimum is why it's probably not mentioned as much ?
- bandrami 2y agoI don't know that it's the "bare minimum"? Zuck wanted to loft a dirigible over India and beam free 4G service to it from the masses that was limited to Meta properties, Wikipedia, and government sites, and meter for the rest of the traffic. The plan was rejected notionally on net neutrality grounds (substantively on Indian nationalist grounds, but let's leave that aside for now). What's wrong with Zuck doing that?
