I really cannot believe this bullshit. How on earth will loosening of regulations be good for us as the consumer?

How are net neutrality laws in Canada? Are they regulatory up there like they are here?

Does this mean we'll see the wrath of all the naughty searches we'll search for?

No, not at all.

Net neutrality is essentially what allows for equal access to all internet services without having to pay more to your ISP to access services (like Netflix and Hulu) due to throttling.

Well then, WIRED is stating that Ajit Pai's plan to eliminate "Title II" status might very well be a violation of the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946...

John Oliver just did another segment on this, asking people to submit comments to the FCC. The process is more roundabout this time, but he bought a domain name to link you directly to the form to submit comments.

gofccyourself.com

And of course, the FCC site crashed within seconds of that domain being put on air, so... strong message already being sent.
