Comparing Net Neutrality to cable TV w/o Premium channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.) is the easiest way to explain what NN is. Doing away with NN is setting us up to pay more for extra access to every corner of the web, for no reason other than it's a money-grab for internet providers. How does that benefit you as a consumer unless you're excited about parting with money you used to keep? Do you receive a benefit from paying more for HBO?
After Stanford parsed the responses to the FCC's request of comments on Net Neutrality (https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2...trality-repeal), almost every response that was unique and written out was in favor of NN (99.7% to be exact). That doesn't include any pre-filled out responses that were added as a co-sign, so almost everyone who able to formulate their own thoughts on the NN, was in favor of keeping it. Hardly anyone who was opposed to it was able to formulate a reason that it should end.
So with that in mind, maybe our local CD Conservatives can do a better job of explaining why we should be pushing for an internet that runs on cable TV's Premium Channels model ?
It's not about the Internet, it's about sticking it to the libs. Besides, I have yet to see a CD conservative demonstrate any understanding of NN, so - good luck!
waiting for this thread to either be completely ignored or overrun with strawman arguments about choice and free market to further demonstrate most critics' of NN lack of understanding of the topic. Revisit any of the Alex Jones Twitter threads for a quick glance at the fun.

Internet is big business, that is why Republicans are for it making more money. They have never cared for the common people.

First, please explain what Net Neutrality is in your own words not a Wikipedia article that you don't even read yourself.

If you don’t like the service provided by others, provide your own service. Companies are not obliged to provide free services for their customers. It is up to the customers to choose from whatever options are available. If they don’t like those options, they can start their own company.
Welcome to America. This isn’t the Soviet Union or North Korea.

I set up the analogy so that should tell you what my understanding of NN is genius. If you have an issue with my analogy, you're free to poke holes in it.

I have satellite TV. Don’t give a crap about NN.

Funny how Leftists say tech companies like FB, Twitter, Google etc. can do what they wish and block things as they please since they are a private company but an ISP can't block anything and has to deliver things for free while they foot the bill for the equipment upgrades and such to handle the bandwidth demands especially when it comes to streaming services.
