I hope the internet actually fights this.

Like, the whole internet.

Half of it is still busy celebrating every word the yellow idiot says. So, no. They will start when it's way too late.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Reddit/4chan meltdown in 5...4....

Didn't most of those guys vote for him?

 

[GK86]

With all the other shit surround Trump, I completely forgot about this.



Sigh.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Looking forward to going back to getting netflix disks in the mail again. Cable TV providers are dancing now, no cutting the cord.

 

[sphagnum]

Drain the swamp!

 

[enzo_gt]

how sway

HOW

 

[PInk Tape]

r/the_donald, this your man, right?

Tell me about how you couldn't stomach to vote for her again.

hey

we might not have had to deal with this under Hil's administration if she was elected but emails and believing the GOP smear campaign tho

 

[Vermillion]

I think even alt-right people will be against changes to net neutrality.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Fuck it, do it. Ruin the Internet, make the alt-right mad. It's the best way to prevent conservatives from being able to call this a win.

 

[bobbychalkers]

As much as I want to laugh at the irony of Trump getting the support of Reddit/4chan/alt-righters, this needs to be stopped.

 

[Cyanity]

It's gonna take way more than a couple terms of a Democrat president after Trump to clean this mess up.

We'll be dealing with the ramifications of the Trump administration for the rest of our lives.

"But they were both awful haha I didn't vote." FUCK those people. They fucked our country over so bad ugh I just can't

 

[tedrotheredro]

Boy, I'm sure glad we debated these issues in the televised debates. Oh wait, we were too busy talking about e-mails and locker room talk.

 

[Makonero]

I think even alt-right people will be against changes to net neutrality.

They're wealthy enough to afford the extra fees. They won't care.

 

[blackw0lf]

Many of Trump's supporters are young white males who live on the internet.

They won't like this.

Which means activists and the Democratic Party should be making plans to mobilize them to fight against this.

 

[John Rabbit]

So let's see:

-Pay more to use slower internet
-Pay the same if not possibly more for healthcare
-Pay the same if not marginally less or possibly considerably more on income taxes (esp if you have multiple children)
-Almost assuredly not going to get their "jobs" back in way they expected, if at all

What about economic anxiety again?

 

[nintendoman58]

So, what does this mean for Canada's internet?

Will net neutrality being gone in the US have any affect on it in Canada?

 

[EdibleKnife]

As much as I want to laugh at the irony of Trump getting the support of Reddit/4chan/alt-righters, this needs to be stopped.

I'll laugh enough for the both of us.

And all of this could be seen from a mile away if people had actually stopped being distracted by emails and "tells it like it is" BS and considered not only the GOPs track record but Trump's lack of solid policy.

edit i'm really bad at using google

 

[Steejee]

Didn't most of those guys vote for him?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess most didn't bother voting at all and were really just interested in creating chaos.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I would like to see websites do what Netflix did, where they slowed their speeds down to demonstrate what will happen to websites without net neutrality.

Reddit, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon. Take away a person's convenience and then see how much they like a Trump presidency.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

There's a special place in hell for those people..

..right next to harambee

edit:

god damnit Bufbaf, you ruined my joke.

 

[BitStyle]

Not a lot of faith, but I hope people and companies fight this hard.

 

[E-Cat]

You know what, let it happen. I'm not American, so I'll enjoy watching those fuckers burn.

You mean like companies are fighting the stuff the UK goverment is doing?

I'm sorry At least now I feel slightly better about the Harambe thing not being actually true.

Thanks. I didn't vote for Trump but it's nice to enjoy people are enjoying watching the rest of us suffer.

I'm American though....and my internet is shitty enough haha.

Yeah, this disaster was in "no shit" territory long before it got to this point.

Trump voters deserve everything that's coming to them.

This was an election of feelings, not policy. Which makes the 'identity politics" hottakes really fucking ironic.

 

[Team Alucard]

Hopefully SV shuts down the Internet in protest and forces Trump and Co to back down.

 

[tedrotheredro]

You guys really think Trump will be in the crosshairs when the net neutrality rules come down? Nah, he'll deflect like hell, blaming it on this or that. His supporters will be convinced it's the work of liberals.

 

[jstripes]

So, what does this mean for Canada's internet?

Will net neutrality being gone in the US have any affect on it in Canada?

Nothing direct. It'll just heavily influence it.

 

[Beefy]

Tim Berners-Lee is going to have a rant about the UK and US soon.

 

[nintendoman58]

Influence it how?

 

[Dishwalla]

The good news is that we will always have unrestricted access to Breitbart.

 

[Vicetrailia]

What does a trump supporter care, that's the most hilarious part.

 

[Intheflorsh]

What does a trump supporter care, that's the most hilarious part.

They're going to care when their monthly internet bill doubles, that's for fucking sure.

 

[Blader]

At least the alt-right fucks on reddit and 4chan will suffer here, too.

 

[linkboy]

They're going to care when their monthly internet bill doubles, that's for fucking sure.

No, they won't. It'll get blamed on Obama and people will believe it hook, line and sinker.

 

[EdibleKnife]

LOL Jesus I couldn't even fucking imagine.

 

[Mortemis]

We're fucked brehs. Comcast and buddies are prepping the lube as we speak.

I hope 4Chan/Reddit get put in their own special category that's extra expensive. If we're all getting fucked, I hope they get fucked more.

Petty as fuck but whatever. Do it.

 

[Rebel Leader]

No shit.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Cable cutting to become impossible

 

[E-Cat]

Thanks. I didn't vote for Trump but it's nice to enjoy people are enjoying watching the rest of us suffer.

I presume you're not alt-right, so I'll promise to not enjoy your suffering as much.

Reddit is text, no matter what happens with net neutrality they have nothing to worry about.

YouTube, Netflix, HBO, and other video sites are the only ones this might affect and in the end, it's probably not going to be a big deal (just like how we didn't have net neutrality enforced by the government for many years and everyone survived)

 

[tirminyl]

Every appointment I just laugh. It's like a joke that never ends. Am I being too worked up by this? If only I could afford my own private island with a never ending library of books.

 

[Onemic]

So, what does this mean for Canada's internet?

Will net neutrality being gone in the US have any affect on it in Canada?

It doesnt mean anything. The US isn't Canada.

Even moreso because Trudeau is PM. So I dont think there would be any influence/push towards us doing the same thing either.

Those many years was before obama.

 

[nintendoman58]

Net Neutrality isn't going away without a fight.

Never mind what the alt-right thinks about it. The second they try and get rid of it the rest of the internet will fight.

 

[Intheflorsh]

And what exactly is our recourse? What can we do to fight it?
