Trump's war on internet

Postby waauw on Tue Nov 21, 2017 1:17 pm

Farewell, soon CC won't load for you anymore, unless you pay extra!

The US government is going to end net neutrality, a fundamental principle of how the internet works.

Net neutrality is the idea that all internet traffic is treated the same. But the new ruling will allow internet service providers to block or slow access to specific websites, and allow them to charge for those limits to be lifted.

As such, it violates a principle that has been in place ever since the internet began: that no particular website or service can receive special treatment from the companies that power the web. Instead, service providers will be allowed to charge websites to load quicker, for instance, or force their users to pay extra if they want to access certain pages.

I don’t understand why other regions don’t jus let construct their own internet networks. The EU and China are already developing their own versions of GPS so that they don’t need to use the American government-controlled one. Why not the internet too?

Freedom of information and freedom of the press. Both could be argued to be under threat by seperating internet networks.

Good, maybe I'll get offline and move to Puerto Rico.
