What is your take on the vote? Do you understand what it is? Do you think the Argument(s) for both the infavour and against sides are valid?

what the us govt/israel need to realise is that they don't own and can't control that shit.

until they get an intel chip into every device/human

the joys of decentralised infrastructure. Mind, if 8.8.8.8 went down, there'd be a lot of dweebs derp-derping.

[iYRe]

why would anyone be using 8.8.8.8 ? That's just a silly thing to do. Some ISP's have a google cache (not sure if they have DNS proxy in them but I expect so), but not all. Plus... its a kinda obvious place to intercept traffic.

I seem to remember bogan was gagging for it.

I'd have to track down the thread to recall whether the OP was similarly enthused.

The FCC haas a republican majority. regardless of what Ajit Pai says, the republican mindset is "Anything Obama did is bad, therefore it must be repealed" and also "everything is for sale to the highest bidder"

i'd say most ISP's both cache teh google, and serve their own DNS.

but, liek, google is 99% of the interdweebs, so if it goes down it wont be long before we start caching dead links, then it all goes to fuck.

most traffic can be intercepted at carrier level. and i'm guessing here, but they'll just route all your shit through a bullsh DNS that gives them your packets. tasty tasty packets. and you wont even know.

basically true except "everything is for sale to our friends....."

well that's all right because bog is an id10t.

(why yes, that is httpS. and jewtube, with google's TLS 1.2 certificate. how safe do you feel, and, can you afford an older certifier? or must you update continually to maintain access...)

I increasingly don't give a shit about anything America do. Build the wall for sure just run it all the way around the entire USA.

'Net neutrality' is an odd phrase, but if it's a step towards 'regulating' the internet then bound to happen eventually.

Edit: so it's the opposite? Or self-regulation? Guess it depends on what ends up being in the service providers best interests.

It's an interesting and much misunderstood topic, though it simply boils down to what you class the internet (in its entirety) as. And it is that entirety that presents the problem, surely the communication (emails, skypes, etc) can be seen as a utility to which we have a universal right, perhaps even the online shopping aspect, but what about entertainment, movies, games, porn? maybe, then what about the darker aspects, illegal downloads, propaganda, fake news and conspiracy theories? No doubt others have their own ideas as to which parts fall into which categories, but I think most would agree there are those three broad categories.

And then there is the obvious impracticalities of enforcement as well...
