    Regardless if you think that it is a good thing or not, concerning net neutrality. I think the internet is one of if not the only things that can save this planet from humans.

    The planet will be just fine, no matter what we do. Its the human species that needs to be saved.

    I am ok with only red states getting throttled. That actually makes a lot of sense. Maybe slower internet will slow down bobbythegreat and RL trolling.

    Note... there is a ways to go for it to be really back, but a promising bit of news none the less.

    Trump's FCC hasn't been implementing Net Neutrality since they have been in office. Basically, Net Neutrality has been gone for 18 months. your internet is fine.

    The rules were established in 2015 and has been in effect. The ISPs know this. The rules are officially over after today. The ISPs know this.

    Unless you are talking about some under the table agreement that Trump's FCC had with the ISPs...

    what the ISPs know is that nobody is implementing net neutrality. The first thing the FCC looked at under Wheeler was zero-rating. Wheeler eventually came to the conclusion that zero-rating violated net neutrality, but before he could take it to court Trump won the election so he was out of a job. The new administration ignored Wheeler's conclusions and hasn't been implementing Net Neutrality at all. Not on zero rating or anything. The ISPs know net neutrality isn't being implemented. Everyone knows this except people on this board. Its not an under the table agreement.

    Zero-rating <> NN. Zero-rating wasn't even banned in the 2015 FCC NN rules. FCC 2015 NN rules (e.g. No block, No Throttling, No Paid Prioritization...) have been in effect and will expire end of today.
