Net Neutrality is a horrible law.
Look past all the leftwing screaming and the death threats, the end isn’t coming; yes, humans will die, but not because of ending Net Neutrality. The law is flawed, clearly
biased; it gives distinct advantage and power to an exclusive segment of the
Internet industry, what is called the “edge” providers. Google, Facebook, Twitter, you get the
picture.
Know this; Net Neutrality is not neutral; it is not neutral
at all. It is a reasonable
argument that the choice of its name was a tactical lie. And the
masses of ignorant Americans, led by a shallow and often times worthless press,
lapped it up.
In my informal surveys I find very few people that have a
clue what Net Neutrality is all about; most articles I’ve read in the
mainstream press are superficial and talk generalities in ways that support the
lie of neutrality. It’s pathetic.
Where to Start
Proponents of Net Neutrality talk about protecting against
“throttling” and blocking and censorship. But they stop there, by an large they
don’t explain any details, I will.
Blocking and Censorship
First off, I agree, blocking and censorship are big concerns,
very big concerns. These are fundamental. Corporations do not
have the right to usurp the principles of our country. They do not have the
right to censor or control the subjects of open forum content. … Hear, Hear! Human
rights exceed corporate objectives and interests, always. That’s how I see it.
Throttling
That said, the throttling issue is way over hyped, Wow, just think a little past the basics here. Why wouldn’t I want the opportunity to trade speed
for cost? Why is that so important? It’s not! This is mass propaganda, likely
from the leftwing tech giants.
It’s over hyped and incredibly effective brainwashing. To witness such
stellar mind control is scary to anyone that uses his or her brain.
Misunderstood and poorly considered by many people (almost
everyone I’ve asked). As far s I am concerned, the idea of controlling speed or providing preferential
speed from the ISP is not a big concern. It wasn't to people back in 2015 when the rules
went into effect either. So why is
it such a big concern now? Brainwashing, that is all.
So let’s get to the details of Net Neutrality, the details
that matter.
Who was Governed by
Net Neutrality?
The Internet is composed of two principle components the
“access point” and the channels to content, called the “edge”.
The access point is the business of “Internet Service
Providers” or “ISPs”. Large ISP's like Comcast and local service providers like Bend Broadband in Central Oregon,
my ISP.
The other component of the Internet is the “edge” companies,
where you land when you hit the Internet, Google for instance is my home page,
That is the first edge of the internet for me. Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook. These are
edge companies too, many others.
As for principles of Net Neutrality Think about this, it’s all over the news. These companies have
been known to censor, block, throttle and much worse. They can do so because
Net Neutrality rules for the most part do not apply to them, only the ISPs are covered by the Net Neutrality
regulations. That is wrong.
There it is the belly of the lie. It might come as a shock
to you, after all these companies were such vocal supporters of the law.
They lie, they cheat, they deceive, they manipulate, they
use psyops tactics to manage you. What more do the techno corporatist have to do to get you to stop listening
to them?
Think Outside The
google ™
This is what is relevant, who is and who is not governed; others will talk about Title Two
and the Communications Act of 1934 bla bla. Bla. It is all smoke, irrelevant smoke. The idea that the Internet be governed by laws that originated 85
years ago is fodder for fools.
The Internet needs to be looked at for what
it is, now in todays world with an eye towards tomorrow’s potential. Getting hung
up on what laws from the past should apply indicates you’re dealing with the
wrong people. We must stop the thinking of the past and reanalyze the methods of the past.
Future Planning
I believe that the Internet does need to be regulated; but there
is no immediate rush, just as there wasn’t anything pressing back in 2015 when
Net Neutrality was imposed. A measured reasoned and fair set of rules applied to all would not
be detrimental in my opinion. Speed options with competitive pricing would be great too.
Unfair, unbalanced and patently biased, the old
Net Neutrality rules, that is bad, bad for the Internet and for society future itself.
Regulations must be done in an even handed way. Full
transparency is possible today and the society should have access to these
discussions. The full light of day will keep the fascists away.
