Serious Net Neutrality is gone, what's next?

So, today in the United States of Autism, Net Neutrality was repealed, for who the fuck knows why, but it was. Now, if you aren't sure what net neutrality was, it meant that internet service providers couldn't block, slow down the speed, and throttle your internet. Now with net neutrality totally trashed, we're all fucked and are being left to die by the government.

Basically, internet service providers can now block, and throttle your internet, and basically do whatever they want, as long as the publiclyannounce it. Now that it's gone, what's next??

Still has to go through court, then if it's passed there, we're officially fucked.

Well, next you will see a load of companies from other countries try to pass similar changes to their regulations. Like with many "pioneer" decisions in congress, made by prominent countries, companies usualy watch the resolution before attempting the same thing in their respective markets

I've not read a whole lot about this, but does anybody know if this will be effecting the UK?

Everything is P2W anyways. Those with money end up on top. Nothing new here.

Lmao, not where im from

Been reading about this, just don't know if it effects USA only or if it's gonna be a world wide thing as well

In my opinion, it will inevitably become a world wide issue. Why would other countries keep their Net Neutrality (meaning not prioritizing their customers internet traffic) when United States traffic does not. It is going to be a simple case of playground logic "It is not fair, Timmy did it first." I just hope and pray it does not make it through the court system. I am ashamed of my state senators who took money and voted yes.. Some of them made off like bandits though.

Net Neutrality isn't dead just yet. It still has to go through Congress.

If this law gets passed. Then it's obvious that the US government doesn't care about what the people want. And that's the epitome of "unconstitutional"

As many others said, it has to go through congress.
Though - it won't be an instant effect like most think. It'll be a slow and painful death for the poor internet in America.
Sort of sucks.
