Net Neutrality

I've changed my mind on the topic, and I no longer support this.

I feel that it would create an environment in which the free market could run without competition, allowing for increased monopolization of ISPs. It's best to just leave the ISP market alone, especially given the fact that it is rather limited, and there is little competition already in the US.

I support Epsilon's reasoning.

I feel what goes on in the Internet and Web should not be controlled by the state.

I would do something if I was able to do anything. Fortunately for me, I'm in a country where net neutrality is an actual thing.
I do, however, support all of you (except Pai)

@xparasite9 : uh, you do understand that the repeals essentially targets the only thing that warrants net neutrality ?

Accepting net neutrality regulations is literally ceding control of the internet to the state.

I see. Thanks.

Not sure if I understood this correctly but my intentions were that I support Epsilon's reasoning. Do you mean the state will not be in control if net neutrality continues, or is it different to that?

(Sorry, my original wording was unclear. I didn't mean that I accept net neutrality being repealed. Contrarily, from what I gather I believe net neutrality should stay, though I don't understand the subject much)

IT'S NOT. CONGRESS CAN STILL STOP IT.

if any of you have money and live in the US start suing the FCC for violating the First Amendment.
That's more likely to get the rules reinstated than attempting to persuade Congress.

I don't know if they did, but they pressed YouTube to block the video on copyright grounds.

Youd get laughed out of court. Net neutrality has nothing to do with the First Amendment.
