That is the worst misrepresentation of Net Neutrality I've ever seen. This "article" makes it sound like the government is protecting you. It makes me want to vomit. They get away with this because nobody reads the actual bills. They just take what the media writes and accepts it as truth.
I couldn't agree more. I'm part of a hobby community keeping an old OS going and I see people come in and complain as if this were a new OS that they just paid money for, and almost demanding that something they want be done immediately. It frustrates me, and I'm not even one of the people maintaining it. I'm just an enthusiast supporting the project.
If up or down votes bother you, then have some serious issues. You need to re examine your priorities. Maybe posting on social media is not good for you. You have too fragile of an ego if you get upset that someone disagrees with you. Life if full of people who disagree with you. If you can't handle it, then you need help. I'm sure this comment will get a ton of down votes, but I don't care. They don't bother me because I'm not fragile. I live in the real world and understand that what people think of something I write doesn't really make a difference my life.
I really hope you are not in the majority, otherwise this world is doomed.
As I replied to the other comment, I simply searched a family member's name. I didn't really understand the results because they're not like regular search engines. I clicked on the first one and I just saw a LOT of very underage pics. I freaked out and immediately closed the browser. I was shocked that it was so easy to accidentally come across those things.
Thanks for your comment. I searched a name. I'm not going to post the name but it's not a famous name. It's a family member. The pics were of severely underage kids. I would love to tell authorities, but idk how you do that without looking guilty of something. I'm just totally shocked that it's so easy to find those things, even when you're not looking for them.
Chances are, most people wouldn't know about anything outside of their small circle if it weren't for articles. The article is just a beginning. The article brings your attention to something. Then it's your responsibility to research what it says and determine how true it is. I prefer to think of an article as a hypothesis. Usually there are several facts that lead to a hypothesis. The job is then to determine the validity of the facts and see if the hypothesis holds up to further scutiny.
That doesn't happen where I live. Only service dogs are allowed in most businesses, and I see one of those maybe 3 or 4 times a year. The only place I see dogs brought inside are the pet stores that allow/encourage it.
I think op means why should they, as an individual with no ability whatsoever to have any affect on the situation, care about it.
I think that question should be asked about everything. There are people who have anxiety, depression, addiction, and other life altering results of stressing over things that they ultimately have no control over.
The conflict has been going on for longer than anyone alive today has been around. Many people who did have the power to affect it haven't been able to, so why should any individual with no power at all need to care about it?
I have strong feelings about it and I think it's probably the last, or next to last straw that causes WWIII, but I don't really think about it much. I don't read the stories. I don't argue about it. I don't wring my hands, because I accept that there is nothing I can do about it.
Does this only apply to companies with physical operations in the UK? If it applies to all internet entities, then how do they enforce it on a company from another country? If it's only UK based businesses, then what's the point? Kids can go to a site hosted in another country.
