idk how ppl can defend net neutrality violations, like don't they get that it's all about the benjamins and not about innovation or progress?

do you actually know what net neutrality is? or are you just parroting what you read on twitter?

lmao is it me or are you secretly a 9th grader trying to sound smart about policy but really it's

I hear you, but it's a bit more complicated than just money. Big tech and ISPs are trying to control the flow of information, which can stifle innovation and our democratic freedoms.

tf do you mean "benjamins"? net neutrality is about keeping the internet free and open for

idk how ppl can just regurgitate the same net neutrality talking points without actually understanding how the tech

the benjamins? what a load of bs. net neutrality is about keeping the internet open and free for

that's oversimplifying things, innovation can be driven by profit, that doesn't mean it can't also be about good policy.

So you think it's okay to stifle innovation because you're suspicious of the people pushing for it?

do you really think those ppl are just misunderstanding or is it that they're getting a cut of that

uh, don't they care about their own data being sold like hotcakes or is it just okay when it's not them being exploited?

some people genuinely believe their isp loves them and just wants to make sure they have a great online experience

i guess some folks think the isp overlords are gonna give them a good deal on a cable bundle

don't they know the companies advocating against net neutrality are the same ones that stand to

what a load of nonsense. net neutrality is about keeping the internet open and accessible for everyone. Not corporate profits.

yo that's some dumb shit. net neutrality is about keeping the internet free and open, not about

i know, right? it's all about the money, fuck the people.

this is a load of crap. net neutrality is about keeping the internet free and open for everyone. Not lining the pockets of big corporations.

that's some bullshit. net neutrality protects the open internet and stops isps from throttling or

lol some ppl just care more about streaming their shows on time than they do about corporate greed

What's inherently evil about some companies making a profit by prioritizing certain content over others?

buddy, just because it's about the benjamins doesn't mean that's the whole story - there are ways to protect profits and still preserve open internet access, you're reducing a

if it's all about the benjamins, how does that benefit consumers and the public good? last i checked, the public interest should come before corporate profits.

Isn't it just as short-sighted to assume ISPs aren't motivated to invest in infrastructure without some financial incentive? Regulation can stifle innovation just as easily as greed.

so you think protecting corporate profits is more important than an open internet? how does that benefit regular people?

idk how ppl can just assume it's all about the benjamins.

you really think net neutrality is just about money? what about the impact on free speech and small businesses? seems like a pretty narrow view to me.

you're oversimplifying it - people aren't getting paid off, they're just genuinely believing the opposite of what "benjamins" imply

fr? you really think net neutrality is just about money?

yeah, it's all about the money and control. and it's not like it's some far-off threat, it's

Doesn't seem like a leap to assume they're just towing the company line to protect their own bank accounts

ikr, it's wild to me that ppl still think their fave companies are looking out for them and not

What proof do you have that companies won't be innovating if they have to follow net neutrality rules, or is this just assumed because they'll lose some profit?

arent u ignoring the fact that benjamins are made off people's backs?

lol guess they're too busy streaming their cat vids on throttled speeds to care

yeah that's the thing, it's all about the money not the people.

not everything is abt greed, some ppl genuinely believe the fcc knows what's best for the internet, no need to assume everyone's a corporate shill

total agree, it's all about lining pockets and stifling competition.

u think net neutrality is just about money? what about ppl who can't afford higher prices for basic

fr, it's all about the money and not about the people. the corps don't give a shit about innovation.

totally agree with you, it's a joke that we're even having this conversation.

You're right, a lot of it comes down to money and profits over what's best for innovation and consumers.

yeah because massive corporations always put profits before people, right?

some people are just trying to get paid to defend the benjamins

guess some ppl just can't let go of their dial-up days"...

Can you actually tell me how violating net neutrality "encourages innovation and progress", or is that just a talking point?

you really think it's just about money and not about the future of the internet? how can you be so sure there won't be any negative impacts on consumers and small businesses?

true, and it's not just about the money, it's also about control - they want to dictate what we see and do online, and that's just not okay.

I do know how people defend it, they actually read the articles and understand the nuances of the issue, not just spouting rhetoric about corporations being greedy.

wow are you kidding me, you think the telcos would actually put our interests ahead of profits?

lol, unless the benjamins are being flushed down a march madness bracket pool, maybe they don't get

they can't handle the truth 👀

and don't you think corporations who campaign for relaxation of net neutrality have, like, a vested interest in being able to throttle competition?

lol not everything is about the money, some ppl genuinely believe the free market can handle it on

same, it's wild how ppl think it's not all about the money. and to make matters worse.

how can u say that with a straight face? net neutrality is literally about keeping the internet free and open for everyone.

I actually think the opposite - net neutrality being lifted allows for more innovation and investment in internet infrastructure, creating better and faster internet for everyone.

net neutrality violations are literally all about controlling what people see and don't see online, not about raking it

idk how ppl can assume it's that simple, like the issue is way more nuanced than "corps are evil" dude

man that's such a lazy opinion, you think people who disagree with you are just getting paid off?

tbh some ppl are just fine with having their internet slowed down to a crawl as long as it saves them a few bucks on their monthly bill

wow, that's a hot take. maybe they're just really good at counting their pennies, ya know?

forreal, that's the whole problem with these companies. it's all about profits over everything else.

which benjamins are they talking about, because from what i see, it's more about cable corps raking in cash at the expense of actual innovation

Do you genuinely think that's the only motive behind wanting to prioritize streaming services over grandma's internet speeds?

fr? you really think net neutrality's just about money? what about equal access and free speech online?

omg yessss, it's all about the benjamins... and ppl need to wake up and see that our current

a lot of people who defend net neutrality don't understand how the major internet service providers operate, and they genuinely believe it's about innovation, not greed.

are you serious? that's not what net neutrality is about at all.

so you think theyre just sucking up and dont actually believe in innovation or progress? what's in it for them then?

You're right, net neutrality violations are all about profits, not innovation. The ISPs are more interested in squeezing every dollar than actually improving service and access

don't you think big corps already have enough control over our lives?

idk why ppl think it's that simple, net neutrality is more complicated than just 'corporate greed'

think you're misunderstanding the issue, net neutrality isn't just about profit, it's about ensuring all users have

bruh, net neutrality is about keeping the internet open and fair for everyone. it's not about money.

Don't they realize that's exactly what big corporations are banking on - that most people won't understand or care about the implications?

do they really think isp execs are out here making decisions based on the greater good??

um no, it's not that simple. some ppl think the goal of net neutrality is to stifle innovation, not enable it. hoarding a market with heavy-handed regulations isn't at all.

really? so you think net neutrality is just about money and not about keeping the internet free and

Have you actually read the FCC's plans or are you just repeating what you've heard from other people?

lol some ppl genuinely believe that if isps can charge extra for fast lanes, they'll just magically

haven't you heard that added costs and fees get passed on to consumers? regulating the internet like a utility is just going to end up raising our bills

nah, that's not entirely true. there are legit concerns about gov regulation stifling growth, not

you're oversimplifying, not everyone who opposes strict net neutrality regulations is just a corporate shill, some people genuinely believe it's not the best solution.

dude that's a huge oversimplification - corporations can innovate and prioritize profit and also respect our rights to

are you shitting me? do they really not know who's behind the "grassroots" campaigns against net

tf? net neutrality is about keeping the internet fair and open for everyone, not just some fat cat

What exactly is "progress" when the big corps get to decide who gets priority access to the internet?

your simplification of the issue is Fucking lazy, it's not about benjamins or lack thereof, it's about freedom to

are you kidding me, you really think companies don't innovate when they have a reason to make

fr, it's all about the $$$ and these corps don't give a shit about us.

love this. net neutrality is about the benjamins alright - the billions of benjamins that isps will make by throttling and charging us more. innovation and progress my butt 😂

i'm with you, all it's about is lining teh pockets of the rich and beholden to corporations.

you think net neutrality is just about money and not about protecting an open internet? what makes you so sure that's the real reason behind the violations?

must be the same people who think $15/month for internet is 'inexpensive

finally someone saying it out loud. its not even about "innovation or progress" when corporate interests r being

you're so right. it's all just a money grab by the big internet providers.

are you really that surprised? rich people will literally sell out everyone else for a profit, it's not that deep

What progress is worth sacrificing internet equality for?

does that mean you actually think the avg person is getting a say in how their internet is

You're right, it is all about the money for these big companies. But they'll spin it as being about "innovation" and "progress" to try and trick people.
