The people of America DIDN'T want Net Neutrality to be revoked, but the ones in charge did so anyway, so they basically ignored what the majority said. Which, in a Democracy, is baaaaaaaaaad.(06-02-2017, 06:26 PM)SmokedMemes Wrote: - The true politicization of the internet: While closely tied to the second catastrophe I had mentioned, this is an issue of it's own. As human beings we are heavily guided by influence, hell, the whole basis for the world we live in and the governments that guide us is based on influence. Which party do you side with? What do you think is right and wrong? Who do you choose to follow? If Net Neutrality is eradicated, certain viewpoints will be blocked out by those who wish to make theirs heard, those with influence will use it to guide theirs further and, in turn, create a battle front of influence. In other words, as anti-climactic as it may sound, The internet will no longer be neutral. There will be sides, the definitions of what may and may not be true will be skewed, the whole purpose of this information-sharing phenomenon will simply become a propaganda tool... Well, more than it already is anyway.
Especially this sounds bad. Very bad. It'll only lead to tragedy, fights and a threat for the Earth. The media have quite an influence on the people who follow them, and already try to lead people to certain views and opinions. Those views and opinions can be positive, caring, helpful ones, but also awake hate against certain people/countries and propaganda. Nothing new. It may not happen at once, bit rather slowly and steady over time. Sorry if I'm do pessimistic on this, you may agree with me or not.
Apart from that, I wonder why those in America now decided they want to get rid of Net Neutrality, and struggle to see their reasons. More money and profit is mote of an effect of the thing instead of a real reason. Hmm... instable times, with all the terror and things.
Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.
