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

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.

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.

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

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

Great job, Reddit.
Banned? At least, all of the notable ones.
It's all worth it as long as he sticks it to minorities.

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

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Well, I hope the internet package that includes GAF access is reasonably priced. Hopefully it falls under "basic internet".

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:
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.
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.
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.

Remember people it's regulation that stops small businesses!
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.
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.

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.

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.

Small businesses everywhere will die. Monopolies will reign supreme. Republicans don't give a shit about free markets...just the rich getting richer.
Don't you know, the invisible hand tears down all barriers to entry
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.
/s...In all seriousness I know several people who believe this 100%.

The erosion of net neutrality is the final nail in the coffin.

Well, DUH.Faaaaantastic.
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
