You'll probably see this a lot today, because it seems like a big fucking deal!!
And I don't mean to be a downer, and I can't predict the future, but without net neutrality , I don't even see how Inkbunny would still be a thing......
Oh you'll just move to FA if that happens??And face a crawling internet speed, because that might be what your working with if companies like AT&T and Verizon get their way. That or you can pay an additional fee to access it.

Look guys I dont know much about alot, and these predictions could be all wrong...but I dont wanna find out!!!

Sadly I can't help in the battle as it seems to be an US thing :(

Just under the address section there should be a little 'Outside the US?' button. If you click that it lets you put in a custom address

Really it just needs to be passed so it can stop being a thing.  This is the US, where money makes the rules.  It will get passed eventually, so why not sooner and just get it over with?

We all have our own opinions on the matter.
People that dont care/ dont want to try to do anything about it can just ignore this, and move on with their lives.

Not if we have anything to say about it.
If it passes, that's it. No more internet as we know it. I'd rather not "get that over with". Thank you.

For those outside the US https://www.fcc.gov tell them how having to pay for 80% of your sits fucked up and wrong. This is not an American problem this is a global issue.

There is no "they could or could not" time Warner has on multiple counts tried to force a pay per view system into the net and attacked Netflix's speed so they could push their own shit service. But the net neutrality laws put a stop to it before. If this goes they will be allowed to do it to anything they deem not cool.

This is not an American war this is a global one and your freedom is just as much in danger as ours.

America lost control of ICANN under the Obama administration. America no longer has control over the internet. If anything this legislation would only effect America but maybe not even that.

Just remember 80% of the surface net are American servers

Please don't repeat that silly old lie. ICANN only controls domain names and IP addresses. We never had "control over the internet" and relinquishing control of ICANN didn't affect anything. This legislation will massively affect American internet users and anyone using websites with servers in the USA.

Will it effect the tor project or any of the alternatives to the normal web? Because if the alternatives remain untouched the surface web may lose much of it's current traffic. Then the alternative webs might finally the mainstream and what we now call the surface web might be renamed ”interactive cable television”. Like it or not the surface web will become cable TV. We have known this for a long time. We have been building backups for a reason and the reason wasn't to traffic illegal contraband.  The backup webs were meant for this kind of legislation.

Its primary affect will be on all traffic going through the ISPs that govern most web traffic and server space in America.

It's completely ridiculous to think that this will be a huge benefit by popularizing the dark web.

We need to stop ISPs from trying to exert this level of control over the mainstream web that the vast majority of America uses, not cheer for it because it'll make TOR more popular for a tiny group of geeks.

Also... The dark web uses public and private servers (Mostly in the US) to bounce around and push it out to access the servers that are again, mostly in the US...

So, Putting a block on Tor and similar services would be totally legal, and toring would be useless anyway.

You have been condescending the entire time you've been talking with me. The once I bring up questions you're too stupid to answer you send me to an external webpage. You might as well told me to go to the library. What you did was attempt to end the conversation before you lost face. It was a poor attempt so of course it failed. Now you attempting to claim that I'm willfully ignorant in an act of classic Freudian projection. You lack basic self awareness.

No, I provided a helpful resource that would help answer all of your questions. Which you refused to use. Please don't be ignorant. Inform yourself, help prevent the rejection of Title II. It affects all of us.

You ask for an explanation and he links you one, then you immediately dismiss it because he... hurt your feelings? Why should he put forth the effort of re-writing an article that already exists providing facts that have been hashed out and discussed ad nauseum? You don't even offer a counter-argument, at this point you're just being contrary.

Is there something wrong with your brain? I'm not trying to be mean here but you seem to be autistic. That's the only way I could see you thinking he hurt my feelings.

Hmm, usage of 'autistic' as a catch-all insult, evasion of any of the points addressed, and focusing only on your hurt feelings.

Self awareness, indeed.

Autism is a condition that I have. It is not an insult. You're just an asshole, or at least you are behaving like one.

You are confused. I called him confused for the same reason I called you confused! I wasn't insulting ananyone! I was just asasking a question. But both you and him were too autistic to understand that. If you are still confused I'm not insulting you now. But I'll give you some advice, drop the victim complex.

Yeah, I can confirm when monopolies control things they fuck you over, my only choices here are slow & unreliable as hell AT&T (600KB/s) for ~$80/mo (plus they added $10 fees for usage over 150GB/mo per 20 GB or so), or cable..faster but have to buy bundles starting at $100/mo.

Privatizing things is usually a bad thing but people keep buying the lies.

The thing I'm concerned about is that Ajit Pai doesn't care. It would take IMMENSE public pressure to stop it, and even that's a long shot. Hopefully this is just temporary, and a future administration will try to overturn it and restore NN.

I've written my own journal to kind of help explain it a little bit, in my own terms:

https://inkbunny.net/journalview.php?id=282839

Also provided a few additional resources for explanation. Not much, but my journal is kind of in-response-to this one (as a further explanation).
