On or about December 15, 2017 the FCC decided to end net neutrality. I've found that queries in the various search engines are behaving differently.

Is this the beginning of the end for easily found information about anything?
I have found a segment from the old movie Rollerball. Please start at minute 3:00 for the portion relevant to this post:

When hasn't the net been for profit?

Do you honestly think that it wasn't for profit before Obama's Net Neutrality started in 2015 or even during?

Do you think Google is a non-profit organization? Xfinity, Netflix, and Amazon too?



I would have preferred to keep Net Neutrality, but let's have an honest discussion...not hyperbole...

Lets ignore the one line rebuttal in post 2 and have a discussion.
Did you look at the segment?
The whole movie Rollerball with James Caan is an interesting commentary on one possible future. I talk to people who get their news exclusively from FOX and they can't explain the why of anything that they know.

To a large segment of our population, information is reviewed, biased, and broadcast.

Uh, they didn't ask for it. What are you talking about?

Want evidence? Look at what Trump's FCC just did.
This. Were lucky they block any mergers.

Your city is also partly to blame if they have exclusive franchises for cable. You state is partly to blame if they have a law against city owned internet.

in academia in the early 90s, just as one example.

but that seems like a strawman. no one is arguing for the elimination of profits.
