Let's put aside my own feelings about "net neutrality", for this is just something I kinda perceive. If you want to advocate for something, good. There shall be no stopping you, it's in your right to do it, but do it with an open mind and research facts beyond the infantility that is battleforthenet, for it's the very definition of "baseless rhetoric". That's all I'm trying to say, really. I mean, did you even read what I said around the middle? I don't believe in this "ISPs will censor EVERYTHING" bullshit not because I trust in the ISPs (in fact, I do believe they'd have tried something like this), but because it's such a cluelessly retarded idea in the first place. There's no benefit in them ever attempting this, it would almost be like a country using their nuclear bombs. People believe in this happening because "they're evil!" but don't realize that this would be their suicide, they'd gain just about nothing but shit on their asses.

I'm not defending ISPs at all, I'm just speaking realistically: WHAT is there to gain for them in blatant censorship or reasonless throttling, especially something idiotically specific like "hentai" or whatever? Even if they're some of the most hated companies ever, is this really a reason to believe in such a scenario?

There's "cheapness" and then there's "drooling idiocy". Do you follow so far? Fight for what you believe in, but I believe you guys are smarter than this. You know that data exists.

Well Xiristatos, it'll happen eventually, whether you believe it or not. The way I see things are going, extreme censorship and control is inevitable.

Well, it's not like I don't believe in the general existence of extreme censorship or the invasion of people's privacy (in fact, it already exists in quite a few countries), it's just that I think this one particular issue is a fucking joke.
