HERE before thread was locked Well this makes me glad I have a huge anime collection. If the internet gets fucked over I’ll just watch what I own Same with manga. I have over 500 volumes so I should be fine. SO who else is up for revolting if the hentai sites get taken out?
Its funny how they hushed up on net neutrality and ignored the people’s choices lol. Go democracy! Go capitalism!
True, I am a European. I know that I am going to be affected too since the internet does not really respect state boundaries. I really doubt that I shall be free from all that american stuff... at least not on their websites. And surprisingly, I have never heard anynone even mention this issue. It is amazing how oblivious we can be. However, I beg to differ about one points you mentioned. ... fine I do not know about other collegues, but cheating techniques are pretty much useless here. At the very least there is an experience that those who need it and use it never ends up well. Heck, few of my teachers (sry, do not know the correct term, but it is not lecturer) do not even bother to stop them from cheating (as long as it is within boundaries). And that is because when they correct their tests, it is just full of bullshit anway, sometimes it is even worse. Second, as for material for projects, works, etc. Sure, you can use internet, but you see you cannot use anything from it anyway. And most of colluges actually pay for their students to have (even though small, but still) access to some articles and books online, for which you have to pay even with net neutrality. So I do not think that school life is going change much. But yea, everything else will go down the drain.
Well. I mean, that's what the 2nd Amendment is all about right? That's why we can have guns? To protect ourselves from the government?
net neutrality is mandatory by EU law for years. And monopoly on ISP's is banned. so no. USA is in stone age in regards to net neutrality nope. not actually
Fear mongering stupidity. Net neutrality is 2 years old. Before it, things worked fine. things are hardly different from a customer's point of view.
Internet traffic travels from server to server on cables across the world. The problem is if your internet traffic is passing through the US. If you are accessing a US-hosted website (e.g. Google, Youtube), then there is a chance that your internet speed will be affected, because the data needs to be transmitted through servers on US territory. Even though the EU has laws on net neutrality, they can only enforce this on servers and cables that are in the EU. Therefore, once your internet data reaches the EU, all kinds of data will travel at the same speed within the EU. With net neutrality repealed, if your data is traveling through the US, then there are fast lanes and slow lanes. tldr; it affects pretty much everyone on the Internet. I think NUF's main servers are hosted in the US too, so if you're using NUF most likely you're guaranteed to be affected. You may not notice a difference in speed though. A lot of times, your local wireless connection is what makes your internet fast or slow, not how fast the big highway cables are going.
does bringing down net neutrality will affect ISPs of other countries? i'm quite confused with this one since i don't live in the US
it's not fear mongering. the big ISP's forced netflix to pay more so there weren't throttled before net neutrality. companies, especially verison have been trying to skirt the net neutrally law in any way they could in these 2 years alone. sure the cable company program might be an exaggeration but throttling and information control are not hollow fears, they are real and they've already been tried, in fact they are the reason for the law in the first place.
My life is now changed, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy my popcorn. Get your popcorn here! Spend 5 nuffies for faster access to popcorn!
to keep it simple, it could if what you're looking at is in the US. the level of effect will have to be seen but depending on how bad it gets, you might find one day you can't even access sites anymore because comcast and verison shut them down.
Does this mean that small novel translation websites based in servers in America get throttles/unable to be accessed or even shut down? Sites like Qidian would be unaffected but is Wuxiaworld in North America? Does this ruling change the rate of bitcoin mining and currency?
