What is net neutrality and how could it affect you? - BBC News

This week the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will decide on whether to repeal an Obama-era law that protects "net neutrality". It refers to the principle that all traffic on the internet is treated equally.

The world is so shit even the internet lost equality

[wordout]

This is all about greedy companies from the top.

[sharmisarkar]

This would become like the modern day transfer window: only the richest can afford the best

*Can someone create a net-neutral internet service provider?? I'd go find me the sh*t out of that.*

[jj]

Time to hit the books I don't want to be brain washed by being shown what they want us to see.

[nerdicwarrior]

You're a bit late in reporting this, BBC. You should have brought this up before the FCC vote.

[missfluffybunz]

I wonder what would happen if everyone stopped paying for internet.

[ajadrew]

This explained it really well. Net neutrality should stay.

It's always about money...sad....

[jennydelise]

What's next? We pay for the air we breathe

[Breannafaith]

Maybe I'm dumb... I just don't get it. Why mess up something that is fine the way it is

[justsomekid]

Can we literally have NOTHING nice nowadays? Damn.

[urpupdixie]

Well now since it’s gonna be money to have any apps, I should just Trash my ipads and iPods. Completely no use for them anymore.

[evanleal]

I guess it’s time to go outside, meet people, read books. Everyone is so obsessed with the 90’s so I guess we got our wish.

[heet]

Some people just want to watch the world burn

[vlonepanthera.]

1955: i hope we have in the future floating cars
2017: everyone need to pay for every app

[humanbeing]

shit just realised they can erase our beautiful memes

This is about greed, not being fair so it wouldn't surprise me if this is passed. People in positions of authority don't listen to the people who vote them in. They listen to their pockets. If I am wrong then why aren't more talking out about it ? Distracted about other things ? Nah. Very few show a commitment or a willingness to stand for a actual believe etc. They just stand by and try to look like they care whilst being paid. All whilst blaming the opposition etc for the children going homeless etc this Christmas. Nothing changes when greed is involved.
