Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers should treat all data on the internet equally. Proponents of net neutrality laws argue that they balance the rights and duties of individuals, governments and corporations, while ensuring that the Internet continues to be an open and decentralized network. Opponents include internet companies who complain that the law would increase their costs and create barriers to the free flow of information.
@ISIDEWITH10yrs
No, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet
@ISIDEWITH10yrs
No, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices
@ISIDEWITH10yrs
@ISIDEWITH10yrs
Yes, only if it’s strictly based on a pay-per-quality model
@ISIDEWITH10yrs
Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website)
@9C9F5TL3 days
Separation of Business and State.
No, ISPs should be cast down and abolished
@9C924BB5 days
Nationalize Internet Infrastructure and eliminate ISPs.
@9C8NDGPLibertarian6 days
Such decisions should be decided by the private institutions themselves
Let people make their own choices
@KnownEast43wks
Yes, as long as necessary government website are always accessible
@9C2BFGX3wks
Open up lower level infrastructure to allow for more competition between ISPs.
@9BYVQGR3wks
Yes, they are a private business and it's infringing on the rights of the owners to command how they use their service.
No, and the state should nationalise and consolidate all service providers into one state owned enterprise
@9BZNX2M3wks
@9BZ5XXX3wks
No, and the only internet service provider should be state-owned
@9BWJKND4wks
No, i do not really understand this sentence.
@9BW45PW4wks
i don't understand what this means.
yes, as long as the website will not hurt the common good
@SethF1mo
The Government should not have any say over what ISPs do.
@9BKJWTB1mo
Yes, directing speed where it's needed
Don't have enough information to form an opinion.
Yes, the government does not have the power to regulate ISPs or any other private business.
@9B7L8LF2mos
Keep the internet and the government far from each other.
@9B656232mos
Yes, but only if ISP's are transparent about the process
No, and we need to emphasize net-neutrality
@9B47DGP2mos
No, and make it illegal for ISPs to provide preferential speeds
@99Z4QQW2mos
This is complicated, and if the laws didn't treat ISPs like a commodity but let them operate like a utility with no competition there might be a more straightforward answer.
@99WSZ593mos
No, and bust the current duopoly.
@99VTR3Z3mos
Yes as long as they are upholding the contract with the customers using the data
@99SWVWB3mos
Depends on the intentions of the company and the relationship the company has with the website owners. Website owners should have control over their sites according to traffic for the community, and the company should want what is best for the website owners by decreasing traffic in high-traffic areas.
Yes, and government should not interfere
No, and classify internet as a utility
@99RDSX83mos
Yes, but based on traffic and not on price
@99B786P4mos
I dont really know what to say for this
@99446YG4mos
depends on the popularity for the show
They’re typically private businesses, so they can do whatever they want technically, which is how it should be. I don’t think they should do it, but it’s up to them.
@98WQW2R4mos
Yes, although I don't agree, private companies should be free to make their own business decisions and the economic market will drive competition between service providers
@98VMPXY4mos
No, and dismantle the monopoly on the internment provider system
@98TC7KS5mos
Yes, a company is free to change however their service is provided as long as it is put in the TOS.
@98SHTM45mos
yes, they are the providers the have there own bottom line
@98MRP3Q5mos
Yes, but the internet service shouldn't slow down the less popular ones and keep it the same.
@98LLD6G5mos
Yes, it is private business they should be able to do whatever they want.
@97HTGRP7mos
Let internet service providers decide, increase incentives for competition
@97H9TBS7mos
No, I'm paying for my speeds. I should get the speeds I pay for as a consumer.
@97GPQSW7mos
Speeding up access, yes, but not slowing down access.
