They'll cheer for him telling it like it is and finally opposing the rotten corrupt media.

Did you not pay attention over the last months? Do you really think this will somehow change minds after everything else?

Edit wait, I thought I was in the press meeting thread. I'm sorry

 

[jackal27]

Well fam, we had a good run.

Where do we go next? Books? Radio?

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

It's probably going to be just like fucking cable TV.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I like how he can be far more of a corrupt liar than anyone and yet somehow gets a free pass for all of it.

Yayyy

It's just super demoralizing. Nothing sticks. Nothing applies to Trump. I've never seen anything like this, but it seems like most white people are completely bought into the idea of a white supremacist "strongman" as their dictator who can do no wrong.

Really saddens me to see all of this play out and we haven't even begun his presidency.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

They're not gonna listen to or give a shit about people. If anything is gonna save us, it'll be if Netflix, Google and porn companies get upset enough about this.

 

[Loudninja]

Some people never listen they were warn again an again about this person.

 

[NeOak]

Never count out the creativity of ISPs in ways to fuck customers.

Alas, I'm just being hyperbolic to make my point, but still it won't be pretty.

I mean, look at the airlines and what United is going to do with the new "cheap" coach BS.

 

[Eidan]

Wait, where ARE our Trump supporters? So many came out on election night to gloat, but they seem curiously absent as the fuckery, hate, and regressive policies get underway.

Either in blissfull ignorance, or dreading their own inevitable comeuppance, that we all are gonna get dragged into along the way.

The news media is lying. They're a bunch of Liars.

They only arrive occasionally to plead people to give the racist demagogue a chance.

 

[Nekofrog]

Reddit is text, no matter what happens with net neutrality they have nothing to worry about.

YouTube, Netflix, HBO, and other video sites are the only ones this might affect and in the end, it's probably not going to be a big deal (just like how we didn't have net neutrality enforced by the government for many years and everyone survived)

Will certain ISP like Google Fiber be a godsend for people or is it just going to be a mess regardless?

I last heard they were at Maggiano's

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Hopefully he appoints his 8 year old son. I heard he is one of the best at cyber

 

[ColdPizza]

Eh, the Internet is starting to suck anyway.

 

[whyamihere]

Great job, Reddit.

Banned? At least, all of the notable ones.

 

[FStubbs]

The best part is how his voters still pretend everything's great, lies by the media, or just lie to themselves that eventually everything's just gonna turn out to be great somehow. It's insane.

Your country fucked itself so hard and people are applauding it. And the rest of the world might just follow all this idiocy, and I can't do shit about it.

I really have to stop reading these Trump threads damnit. It's getting depressing.

It's all worth it as long as he sticks it to minorities.

 

[Sleight of Jam]

Thanks again to all you ignorant Trump supporters. We need a protest akin to what South Korea are doing...

 

[Zaph]

It's all worth it as long as he sticks it to minorities.

Yup. After all, it's the minorities who have made their lives miserable - not old white men who've sold them the same lies over and over. No, can't be them, that would mean people who look like you don't always have your best interests at heart...

 

[mattiewheels]

Well, I hope the internet package that includes GAF access is reasonably priced. Hopefully it falls under "basic internet".

 

[AstroNut325]

I highly doubt it. There were no net neutrality rules under Clinton and GWB and that didn't happen.

Net neutrality is largely a solution looking for a problem, outside of mobile networks where the FCC hasn't applied it anyway. TMobile violates net neutrality principles constantly with zero rating and their customers love them for it.

YIKES. So much BS. I'm going to skip you equivocating the 90s internet to the internet of today and the reshaped landscape and importance of internet in general. If you do not understand this, then there is no helping you.

Net neutrality, as accepted and enforced by the FCC, applies largely to landline, or hard wired internet. This is largely because the technology and infrastructure is there to facilitate a truly neutral network. On mobile/wireless, the laws of physics of wireless communication demand more prioritization due to the well known weaknesses related to capacity and bandwidth. Hence, the FCC doesn't impose the same net neutrality rules on wireless communications. This is why T-Mobile is allowed to waive data limits for select websites or streams. They aren't violating Net Neutrality.

Edit:

Wait, where ARE our Trump supporters? So many came out on election night to gloat, but they seem curiously absent as the fuckery, hate, and regressive policies get underway.

They'll only show up in the ever remote nonsensical chance that one or more of his policies actually creates a positive result. So it will be few and far between.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Pretty much, can anyone organize it?. People are apathetic as fuck and seem to think things will be ok and everything will be fine. Meanwhile I'm falling apart at the seams.

Better do it soon. I get the feeling the Trump administration would go Tiananmen Square on any massive protests.

 

[Breads]

Influence it how?

A simplified version is that ISPs/ Servers/ major data backbones can now favor/ restrict access to whomever they chose. If your favorite video hosting site doesn't make a deal with your ISP they can now limit or completely obstruct connections to it now.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

So I'll skip att fiber, which they are conveniently offering now that Google fiber is on the way. Come on Google, hurry.

Remember people it's regulation that stops small businesses!

 

[FyreWulff]

Influence it how?

Imagine mailing postcards.

Now imagine that the post office charges you more to send a postcard to grandma and grandpa and your parents, versus cousins and your brothers and sisters, and then gives you a rebate on sending them to your local concert hall or movie theater even though it's the same exact cost for them to send the message to all of them equally.

 

[Madness]

This is ingenius. Make America Great Again secretly meant Make America so shitty that everyone but native born Americans move away and the country reverse the demographic change. Moron racist voters and the single issue idiots who think their new Fuhrer will bring back jobs he had a hand in sending away.

Looking forward to visiting the Donald Trump Museum in Hill Valley

shit...I forgot this pos will get a museum.....

My brother, and plenty of people out there have the attitude "This is capitalism, and companies should be able to charge whatever they want for a service they provide, supply and demand will take care of things, if you want a better option, go make it yourself!"

Fucking Randians.

You can't make internet....

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

On the plus side, America is about to become a cautionary tale for other nations currently working on their net neutrality laws.

there is no plus side to it when taking control of media + largest military on the planet + fascists in charge, spells trouble for everyone.

I mean, as far as I can tell, the 'discussion' on net neutrality was never about bandwidth, as the companies pretend to claim. If it were, shutting down Fox News would be #01 on the list. It seems to be about shutting down a democratic domain not directly owned by the six media companies that basically every other news channels or output, making it entirely about control of political discourse, since no technical or economic argument makes any sense.
That may be overly conspiracy thinking, but in terms of a political space that is what it comes down to. By putting things behind a paywall, you can remove resources from lower incomes, directly affecting their information and eventual voting behavior.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Small businesses everywhere will die. Monopolies will reign supreme. Republicans don't give a shit about free markets...just the rich getting richer.

[mike6467]

Competition is the backbone of America! Get out there and lay your own infrastructure, create something better then what they're offering. That's the beauty of this country! Free markets! You too can live the American dream, so stop your bitching. Goddamn entitled millennials.

Spoiler

/s...In all seriousness I know several people who believe this 100%.

 

[TwiztidElf]

The Internet had a good run prior to 2016.

Yep. 20 good years. 1996-2016 were the golden years.
RIP in peace internet.
The erosion of net neutrality is the final nail in the coffin.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

LOL the series of tubes guy is going to have the last laugh.

Terrible but hey, at least he's honest about his terribleness!

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

It's like things people are worried about Trump being president, keeps happening for some reason!

Geez, shame all the warning signs were ignored by ignorant as hell people.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Man, everything feels so fucked.

The next 4 years are gonna be seriously dark times.

 

[D i Z]

Well, this ones fucked. Time to build a new one.

 

[gaugebozo]

Faaaaantastic.

Well, DUH.

 

[Vyse24]

I once brought this up to Trump supporters. The response? "Looking at social media, there's no such thing as net neutrality."

 

[120v]

yeah... net neutrality will be first to go. no surprise there. along with gutting the EPA and dept of education, if not outright obliteration.

you'll just have to assume the gov't is run by Cobra Commander now and hope we at least walk away without another quagmire war or global depression
