Net neutrality was fucking dumb.
Until Amazon is legally required to stock bullshit from Target, then Sprint should be free to continue to tell Netflix to fuck off and stop congesting their network with jewry.
One year anniversary of Net Neutrality being repealed

It'd make it hard to monetize people even with monopoly like conditions.
That's the whole point of it, nerfing big brother companies.

Nigger, every GloboHomo Corp was pro-NN. It had nothing to do with neutrality and everything to do with them paying less for bandwidth. They were still going to shit all over you, and their competition, on their own platforms because muh private enterprise muh terms of service bullshit.

oh shit here we go again
one of those imaginary (but creative) "good" ideas that end up being used by corporations for their own end or governments to strangle the internet for "greater good"

Any effects already? Did they started to get people used to having less power over what they do on the Internet? Are prices higher? When they took away net neutrality from you I laughed, but now I'm sorry. Lobby is actually so strong it didn't really matter how many people are against.
25% of the EU population voted against filters and nothing have happened and we are going to have filters by 2021. Wonder how will one year anniversary of this will look like...
But hey, Netflix works, so normies are ok with it... Is there any chance both lack of net neutrality and censorship in the EU will make normies feel uncomfortable leading them to changing the current situation?

Not until the can't afford food. that's the trick, slowly lower wages, remove social security, expand the police state etc. so that every small change is not worth rising up against.

I still remember a time when Cloudflare wasn't necessary for a page to exist and people actually had their own websites.
The last year really has been nothing compared to the havoc wreaked on the net the rest of this sorry millenium.

We didn't used to have Internet, we had privatized corporate shithole BBSs delivered via the pricegouging monopolized telephone company. Cheap open 'net access from the mid-'90s to the late '00s was an abberation.
That isn't entirely true. NN is still being partly protected in much of the country by court injunctions and legislation disputing Pajeet's FCC policy:
eff.org
As a result of this uneven demolition of NN, and public scrutiny on such issues resulting from it, burgerlard ISPs haven't quite gone full nuAOL like those in some other countries have:
eff.org
NN has zero to do with backend anything. Specifically, NN forces ISPs to charge users (frontend) the same for all sites, and deliver them all at the same speed, the proceeds of which ISPs are free to charge backend providers whatever they to facilitate that. In fact, NN actually causes peering agreements to be fairer:

The actual history of NN was fought one lawsuit at a time as ISPs experimented with bolder and more abusive forms of overreach against an FCC regulatory regime far too outdated to protect the Internet:
