For NN, except for a handful of drooling retards and perhaps a few spambots. Kurisu Makise-poster was the worst.
Then why were the only lobbyists opposed to NN from a handful of ISPs, overwhelmingly outspending the other side, while every single lobbying other than those ISPs were in favor of NN?
That is happening right now, it's called zero rating:

This. /thread and mods plz close.
indeed, Zig Forums is a lot better these days without Zig Forumstards shitting it up.
Why should we side with the leftist silicon valley tech giants over the ISPs, though?
At this point I don't care either way because at least we don't have Article 13 shit and PIPA and SOPA and whatever-A is dead
Ignoring the fact that "leftist silicon valley tech giants" are far from the only ones who support NN, alongside basically every single entity or interest other than ISPs, including the popular opinion of over 2/3rds of Dems, independents, and Repubs? Also ignoring the fact that those ISPs are still part of colossal conglomerates (Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, Time-Warner, etc.) with far more power than the tech industry?
How about the fact that websites can always be replaced, as long as an open network such as the Internet exists. Whereas if your ISP, your telco utility, and the websites you use were vertically integrated parts of the same megacorp's intranet, it would be completely unbreakable. Think of the bad old days of proprietary BBSs, but without an open copper PSTN modem capable of connecting to any other modem, since the US government failed to impose LLU on cable/cellular/fibre:

I am concerned about web-centralization and the actions of these tech giants that garner all the traffic, not theoretical abuse from ISPs that isn't grounded in anything.
Then don't use them nigger. As long as your ISP lets you, this will always be a viable alternative
I more or less do not, but the internet is going to keep shrinking until I may as well just shove my face in the corner and talk to myself. I'm doing more and more things IRL, because the web is so garbage, but unfortunately everyone in meat-space has their face in a screen anyway.
