Net Neutrality in 7 Minutes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2017
- If you like using the internet then net neutrality is a big deal. Net neutrality is simply the idea that we should be able to use the internet without our internet service providers being able to regulate what we do on the internet. This may not seem like such a big deal, but without net neutrality our ISPs can block our access to websites they don't want us to visit or slow certain programs down which they don't want us to use. And today net neutrality is in great risk.

I feel like I'm in a Black Mirror episode
Yoan Muniz DAT'S RACIST! WHAT ABOUT WHITE MIRRORS? MUH SLAVERY...
If net neutrality was taken away and some internet companies decided to block/slow access to certain websites, wouldn’t the free market allow for the consumer to switch to a different service? This would keep the internet companies in check because they would lose customers if they decided to do anything drastic.
Not if you only have one service provider in your area, Like a lot of America because of regional monopolies...
Jason Ballard What is the cause of these regional economies? I have a suspicion it was a regulation to begin with.
Ihsahn Åkerfeldt Not a regulation. The companies make deals with local municipalities for easement access and tax breaks to serve an area. Then if a competitor wants to enter the area, the incumbent is or cable company actively restricts access to those same utility easements by contesting town council meetings to grant the new company access, or outright during the township or competitor to tie up the process.
Jason Ballard Internet Service Providers are government sanctioned monopolies
¿Bruh? If the are, then that's why net neutrality is important. Monopolies mean a lack of choice and no market forces.
That law change sounds awfully similar to the tactics budding dictators use.
Though if certain ISPs start pissing off their consumers, there will be other providers willing to take their place whilst not pissing off the consumer, it's still consumer driven, and the chances that many of these providers are willing to shoot themselves in the foot is slim. There may be a lapse in competition if it does goes south, and they decide to work against their best interests, but sooner or later a new provider will be willing to give the consumer what they want. So don't get stressed until it happens to the point where it's effecting you negatively. There's always the possibility, but it's not worth being anxious about the unknown.
This^ Those that complain about only having Comcast or Verizon have only their local politicians to blame. They (politicians) struck deals to shut out competition for money and votes. Net Neutrality provides that same thing on a national level. That is why Comcast is FOR NN. They can use it to kill competition.
Remember these chilling words "I'm from the government and I'm here to help".
The current giant ISP's have already made deals with *all* local governemnts in country to make sure new providers can't come on the scene. It's just like TV, the current giant companies team up to make sure no new guys can enter the market, they got it rigged and local governments damn sure ain't gonna stop them, they've been bribed. So NN is the better option by far.
Comcast is not for net neutrality. They want to repeal it.
Hazcat I don't think you've done your research man. Obama already is from the government and came to help back in 2015. I did not see any of you complain when they fucked it up. We are lucky to get a non-politician in the administration, one who understands the open market to fix what BIG gov has done. Trump is reversing things just like the man you quoted, Ronald Raegan.
Ruminate Not sure where you live, but where I'm at we have 1 ISP to choose from. There's some city limit rule about how many providers are allowed in an area. So if they piss me off, I have to deal with it.
Regulations are a double edged sword. Who do they protect: cronies or the public? I'll pick more competition and less regulation every time. The market is more trustworthy than easy to control regulatory choke points. Regulations are sold as protection to the public when often they are tools for the cronies to leverage. Let the buyers sort it out, not K-Street.
The Wikipedia article does a much better job of summarizing both sides of the debate.
For once.
at first I thought the net neutrality commercial I saw before the video was the video
First time I actually liked, shared and subscribed. Good video!
Thanks :)
Great video, well put together
Thank you :)
Hmm very interesting, question is how do we stop this from happening?
If the polls don't work, violence will
Contact your local representative in Congress...
Call your representatives. Put pressure on them. It doesn't always work but it has have some results in the past.
MrVividShadows Join us Anarchists and overthrow the government! Бороться за свободу!
Very good, easy to digest video. thanks.
Also they will sell internet browsing habits
Funny Bunny I think they do that already
Great! Thanks for making this, it helps, to do something!!
Nice one
Appreciate it!
Why can't private businesses do what they want?
"Chocolate, caramel and green tea!" That photo was so racist! 😂
Oops.
Why Don't We Just Buy Every Single Phone That Has Diffrent Websites You Can Use?
I agree completely, but did you just Pronounce plethora as plathora?
There's also the fact that ISPs have proven that they will not respect consumer rights and will price gouge and throttle sites like they were extortionists.
John Mraz You mean like cell phone providers already do? And yet network speed and reliability continues to expand!
John Mraz that’s not a fact it’s an opinion. It’s never happened. If a company tries to do that drop them and go to a different company. Problem solved.
Moron.
all companies do that. You don't get it. A company that is on top will run all other companies OUT OF TOWN. That's just the way capitalism works. It protects those with a vested interest in domination, and deserts those who have an interest and friendly competition. These companies will never be your friend and do not give a FUCK about you. The bottom line is... FUCK YOU. We at comcast are only concerned about one thing. *COMCAST* and we don't give a fuck about you. So bend over and put a smile on your face. You don't have a choice.
the internet has peaked
Sounds like you'd like the government to regulate what we can watch and at what speeds instead. Kinda like if a 18 wheeler was going 65 in a 70 and I wanted to pass him you'd tell me no, we have highway neutrality and you can't go faster than the truck driver. Everything has to be equal. Great idea.
The more I think about this issue the more I think the city of Chattanooga has it right. They created a fiber optic publicly owned internet eliminating the need for any private companies like Comcast. The people own it. The people control it. I disagree that the government or private companies like Comcast should control what we use the internet for or at what speed we can access it.
is this just america or will this affect the rest of the world too , cause a lot of the people im sub'd to have talked about this but they only mention america. is this one of those things as a non-american are going to keep hearing about but wont effect me or will america find a way to make this affect everyone
Masky Kun yes
Only America sadly but Spain and Portugal have this as well
just fire him
find out @
Interesting.. wouldn't this just give another place to compete in for the internet businesses? I mean if some companies did use their newfound freedom to throttle and extort the customer, wouldn't that just make them choose a different provider that doesn't do that? Its a bit weird that the impression is that they all will, and we would just have to deal with it
Guy Pass EXACTLY. Net neutrality in itself is a throttle on the free market
But what if you only have the choice of one of these regional monopolies...
You didn't read the bill
Sorry, but you need to do a bit more research. Until 2015, the net wasn't "neutral" and there were only fringe cases of blocking and discrimination, and they were all resolved without any implementation of net neutrality as it is described today. The FCC tried to enforce neutrality prior to 2015 but was struck down each time in the court, yet all of the examples you brought up of things companies did, were all resolved prior to 2015...
I don't think Net Neutrality is the best answer. But it's better than what the FCC just voted on. I think creating an open and free (aside from a monthly upkeep fee) internet is the best answer. Think Chattanooga.

That is a good article, and I agree with that as a potential route. But also, that isn't connected very well to Net Neutrality. One of the main points of debate back in 2014 was whether the FCC should reclassify ISPs as Common Carriers so they could enforce Net Neutrality, while promising to ignore all of the other provisions of what it means to be a common carrier, or if they should attempt to use the power they already have from Section 706 of the communications act to achieve relatively the same end result. Section 706 states:
" The Commission and each State commission with
regulatory jurisdiction over telecommunications services shall
encourage the deployment on a reasonable and timely basis of
advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans (including,
in particular, elementary and secondary schools and classrooms) by
utilizing, in a manner consistent with the public interest,
convenience, and necessity, price cap regulation, regulatory
forbearance, measures that promote competition in the local
telecommunications market, or other regulating methods that remove
barriers to infrastructure investment."
That alone gives the FCC what it would need to stop all of the worst that everyone keeps saying is going to start happening because of the recent reversal. On top of that are the Anti trust laws too. The end result of what most people would define as Net Neutrality isn't what the debate is about, the debate is about the means and potential repercussions associated with achieving the same end. The very first attempt to enforce Net Neutrality was against Metro PCS when they wanted Google to see if there was a way they could stream RUclips over a 2G connection, which typically is too slow for video streaming. Google provided them with a new compression means to do it, but unfortunately because that is "discriminatory" towards other video streaming is was deemed a violation of Net Neutrality. This is a great example of a negative possible ramification that depends on how you interpret what neutrality means. Watch some of the 2014 debates if you want to see what the real arguments are because the ones made in this video don't have much to do with the actual issue.
You mean nut neutrality?
#stopthefcc
I'd drink that Green Tea in a heartbeat, anyone agree? xD
Mos def.
"thank obama" my ass. Obama's FCC chairman was Wheeler. The PEOPLE had to sway Wheeler. Wheeler wanted to do what Pai's wanting to do. They're the same.
But unlike trump Obama knew what net nutrality is, while our president supports it's dystruction
Muslim and Proud Except that Ajit Pai was the Commissioner of the FCC under Obama. It's not like Trump just picked a random no-name conservative.
ik, but theirs a difference of being part of a system then running it
Muslim and Proud Yeah... see above about the guy Obama had running it.
however the Obama admin are the people who put it in in the first place
shout out to the Hodge Twins

hmm this is a bit misleading
and by a bit i mean massively
i am living in norway will there be net neutrality in norway?
First fallacy in the argument in this vid. Some types of ice cream cost more to produce than others. By limiting the types of ice cream that producers makes available to consumers. Conversely, by allowing price discrimination between different types of ice cream you enable the increase of choices available to customers who are willing and able to pay more. Price discrimination allows for greater choice for the consumer and a greater revenue potential for the producer therefore everybody to be more able to get what they want through greater choice on the consumer end and greater production possibility frontiers on the producer end thus enabling higher paying customers to subsidize via the producer all products. Basic economics.
Second fallacy, why the heck would any ISP who has to compete with other ISPs want to do anything to limit access to any content or service on the internet when that is the very thing. In the case of doing away with "net neutrality" the ISPs would be completely beholden to the consumer. Now, as a consumer, who do you trust? The FCC or someone who is getting your money only because they are providing the service you want. Now think of content providers who seem to be shielded from accountability to the consumers via 'net neutrality.' How have they been behaving since this regulation was put in place? There has been a whole lot of censorship from Google and all of the companies it holds. Censorship that is way more politically restrictive than at any time in the history of the internet. There is a case for doing away with this regulation to have them share in the accountability to the customer in order to become more "neutral."
This video wasn't bad. But you really have to consider both the economic and political factors involved here.
@
Give me an example of when they didn't treat everything the same.
Well, that explained... NOTHING! What exactly WAS passed? By who? Maybe a list of what's in the actual Net Neutrality law?
Net neutrality... MORE like NET CENSORSHIP
You are misleading your viewers and only telling half the story. Why no mention of FTC? Because you have not done your research buddy.
Thanks Obama
No, you are 180 degrees off. I want the free market to DRIVE, YOU want the Government to REGULATE!....lets be honest.
