  1. Okay Mr. Fight for the Future man, I'm very glad that you won your little war against the FCC. Now please stop emailing me.

    2. @darkw00d yeah congress passed some kind of Net Neutrality bill and that's apparently a "historic" victory even though stuff like this has been going on for years and nothing's ever come out of it

      1. @mrmattimation @darkw00d The FCC has classified internet access as "Title 2", which means ISPs aren't allowed to discriminate between traffic types (Hence "Neutrality"). They're already acting like fat babies and claiming that the FCC just "ruined the internet", and Verizon actually has a blog post up claiming that the FCC just "Sent the internet back to the 1930s"

    3. @darkw00d I mean sure. I really don't know much about it because I don't care.

      1. @mrmattimation Its funny because you are/aspire to be a content producer, and they're the group that would be hardest hit by the ISPs getting their way. So really, you should care the most? Like, your entire career path becomes financially untenable.

        3. @ceruleanspark If I don't care, somebody else will and they'll probably fix the problem for me. Ignorance is just about the only way I can stay happy.

    4. @darkw00d Your government needs to handle it. Your ISPs have conclusively proven at every possible opportunity that they have no interest in the public good.
