>>3399706Hey there friendo, I see you're having trouble understanding the negatives to this and why we had de facto NN prior to 2015, and why ISP conduct resulted in it being formally introduced as law.
We had net neutrality for a lot longer than 2015. It was the de-facto rule of the net. In the 2000s and early 2010s, Comcast, along with other providers starting throttloing services and user bandwidth, blocking apps and services that competed with theirs such as Google wallet vs. Isis (no, not the terrorist group), and trying to double charge for data by calling it "premium data" as with the case when AT&T started blocking FaceTime unless you paid extra for it.
There is a huge list of other actions the ISP companies took that shit on the consumer and was in general bad for the economy and free market.
Now, with NN being repealed, an action that was spearheaded by an ex-Verizon lawyer (read: Shill), Telecoms will begin raising rates, imposing more data caps, introducing extra fees, engaging in anti-competitive actions etc.
The list of other shady actions is here:
