Now that Emperor Obama wants regulation on the interwebs, will all the trolls on here expect to see a future visit from the Govt after posting that isn't to the liking of the protective class? Discuss!

On this issue I agree with Obama, not the cable companies. The world wants net neutrality. We pay 5 times more for internet than Koreans and UK but get 4 times slower speed. Big profit and poor service. That's not capitalism.

They say the government will "control" the internet and it will impact innovation. Too bad America is already way behind in the inovation department. So obviously the whole "pure free market" thing isn't working on American ISP's, or rather ISP consumers.

The real reason they're against it is because Obama is for it. Nothing more than just petty politics.

More proof you don't understand the issue. Maybe if phone companies started charging you premiums for calling customers of other phone companies, then "phone neutrality" would be an issue.

Only a winger whack job would be stupid enough to beg to get even more ripped off by a corrupt corporation just because Obama doesn't want you to get ripped off. It would be funny if it weren't so bizarre to see people who want to spend more money while getting less and less. Verizon and ATT love you, suckers.

I honestly don't get it- is it just about not letting those companies rip us off or will it actually impact what is posted/privacy/something I'm missing?

Would it help identify users regardless of proxys? I just don't get it. Can somebody dumb it down for me?

Sure.

When it comes to gov't regulation its all about incrementalism.

This current push for net neutrality is about the FCC just getting their foot in the door. And then slowly over the course of several years they'll ratchet up the regulations until the gov't has almost complete control.

Example 1: The FDA was originally founded with the simple mission of making sure that food and drug manufacturers were honestly labeling their products. If the package said "beef" then it better actually contain beef. Today they micromanage virtually every aspect of the food and drug industry.

Example 2: The 16th ammendment (income tax) was ratified in 1913. The first permanent income tax rate in the US was only 1% on incomes over $3000/year (about $75K adjusted for inflation). And look at what that turned into?

Like everything else the gov't regulates, net neutrality will start out small and innocent enough and then grow into an unwieldy bureaucratic monster. So its best not to even create the framework for gov't regulation of the internet in the first place. In the long run they will abuse it just like they always do.

This thread is the perfect example of how insane Repugs are. Really. They WANT to get ripped off or even poisoned if they think it means less govt regulation. And here's a clue, you dumb fucks...not wanting to get ripped off does not mean you're poor. It means you have a brain. Which Repugs obviously don't.

I think you might be put off by the fancy terminology, Interweb Troll. NN is one of those things like 'women's suffrage' which sounds bad but is actually good. Parse Obama as you will, he wants to maintain net neutrality, not have it sold to the highest bidder.

Big fan of The Oatmeal - his 'how zombie apocalypses get started' poster hangs in my office.

This is a "slippery slope" argument, which seems to assume that a state of nature is absolutely A Good Thing. By that rationale, laws themselves are evil. Do you really want unregulated commerce, no police, no public utilities, no public highways? If you're willing to take that stance, I think we can agree to disagree but remain friends.

if you're not taking that stance, then I'm not sure you've really provided any rationale why NN is bad. It seems pretty clear that NNN (net non-neutrality) would be bad for consumers. Since we have police (and not a police state--let's not start THAT discussion, but compared to what most people call "police states", nothing in the U.S. comes close); the lights and water seem to work pretty consistently; and potholes and all, the roads are pretty drivable--I'd say that it's quite possible to have something quite far from no regulation/state of nature and have a positive outcome.

It's actually not even clear to me what "government control" of the Internet would mean. At this point, it's so deeply embedded in the fabric of daily life and commerce in this country that attempts to control it like in China would piss off everyone from the pornographers to the man on the street to the banks. So that seems pretty unlikely, no?
