Why are you all in on this? The problem w/ all of the proposals from Obama is that when you get into the details, they hinge around traffic that is "illegal".

The problem w/ all of the proposals from Obama is that when you get into the details, they hinge around traffic that is "illegal". No Snowden disclosures, no wikileaks. If you distill the proposal to it's basics, it has very little to do with the kinds of functionality that people think they are fighting for.
- Retric 12y agoThere is nothing sinister about allowing illegal traffic to be blocked. Currently ISP routers often block massive DDoS attacks and without that exclusion they would have to let them through. Realistically, routers are the best place to deal with such attacks and not carving out that exclusion would open up a lot of valid criticism.

- dsl 12y agoThe fact that the president even recognizes it as a problem is the result of an incredible amount of work and millions of dollars in lobbying efforts. I can tell you right now you're not going to get the libretarian paradise that everyone wants, but you're not going to get a Verizon 5% ecommerce tax either.
