There’s a lot of wrong in this post. Just because you work in product development doesn’t mean you know the history of internet transport. What you’re describing is exactly what critics of net neutrality have been warning for a decade. Because the tech firms don’t want to pay for wholesale transit, the increased costs of maintaining the networks will eventually get passed on to the consumers. Good job.
Search function is your friend.
In a nutshell, net neutrality is a fake issue invented by the large tech firms who don't want to pay their share of internet transit. It has nothing to do with ISPs blocking websites. The tech firms exercise far more control over content than ISPs.
Just the nature of this response is proof enough that you're clueless about net neutrality.
The claim is that the ISPs would somehow block content (for reasons that don't make sense in the real world). Yet in practice, it's the content owners who exercise greater control. But why let that get in the way of horrific rulemakings?
This is your litmus test? That a politician cares more about the people than his reflection in the mirror? And that Trump is the most guilty of them all?
The only difference between him and the others is that he lacks the gene to hide his narcissism.
People may differ on the motivations of senior administration officials to stretch the truth in their public pronouncements. But few people should differ on whether they're always 100% honest & transparent.
Very sloppy of you. The only implication that Porter is the prime suspect came from a random Albright post, that hasn't been corroborated by anyone else. If he was the prime suspect, Cordon would have ID'd him.
We are certainly not indispensable to the rest of the world....
... If the rest of the world knew how to act independently. But as it stands, the world still needs the US very badly.
There was a throwaway scene in Weeds where Nancy watched a few lanky blondes escorted through a smuggling tunnel from Mexico into the US. Clearly, not just fictional artistic license.
