It would be incredibly ironic if the destruction of Net Neutrality by Trump actually lead to a scenario in which an ISP could legally block traffic to any site - for example, InfoWars.com.And it wouldn't violate any laws.

This is what you all wanted, right?

It sure doesn't seem obvious to at least a few conservatives here based on threads like this.

Absolutely disgusting.
No wonder you democrats lost in 2016, all you can do is call people names.


Elections have consequences.... Barack Obama

He is siding with Nazis and Alex Jones. Are they the good guys in your opinion?

Things are moving fast!


Sherman Anti-Trust Act into play.
I don't think you, or the 'source' of your link, understands what Sherman Anti Trust is all about.

True enough, but never concede that point, because they will not do the same for you when the tables are turned. Ask me how I know. lol

There was a documented effort on the part of tech giants like Facebook to silence not just whackjobs like Alex Jones and "Nazis," but pretty basic conservative sites, like PragerU.

Prager reported PRECIPITOUS drops in traffic recently, after Facebook began going after "Fake News"... which apparently means everything that presents and alternative point of view that isn't liberal. PragerU is actually well researched and well argued. Its content is designed to be. It's just also on the right side of the spectrum.


Indeed, conservative sites "in general" experienced a 14% drop in traffic after the tech sites started their "algorithm changes".... and progressives sites saw a net 2% increase in traffic.


If these tech giants want to play these games, then social media can start being regulated like public utilities. This is also why net neutrality was important, and I hope conservatives figure this out.
