Should SPC support https://www.battleforthenet.com/ ?

@moonman I don't really have an opinion as a non-murrican, but I don't want to be on the same list with bernie tho

@shpuld yeah that's the thing. Also I don't believe in net neutrality per-se. It doesn't exist. But I think that it is bad for everyone to let ISPs sell access to their customers.
-
@moonman yeah as long as the barrier of entry is as high as it is when it comes to service providing, the free market is not going to fix that either

@moonman I find it really batcaveing disingenuous that the companies pushing users to demand it stays for the good of the people are the same ones who are perfectly cool with DRMing the grape out of the web because that suits them just fine.
Twitch/Amazon sure as batcave don't care about the good of anybody but their own wallets.-
@cyberpotato @moonman i can understand amazon but redpill me on twitch in regards to drm?

@cyberpotato @moonman Pretty sure a number of the companies supporting Net Neutrality also want the good PR.

@takeFluffle Puffakenji @moonman This too, looks good to be fighting for their users, even when all they've really done is stuck a banner at the top of their page.

@cyberpotato Amazon has two great reasons to be for net neutrality:
* a hundred thousand internet services are built on their AWS architecture, and they know that "build on our peered cloud service not AWS" is right around the corner if they don't stop this
* lockout of amazon prime video for Comcast Elite kiwivid Service+Player
It's self-interest, but I think the first one is aligned with the health of the Internet in general, if not for the fact that AWS is so huge
