> According to reviews conducted by local telecoms regulator TKK, the IP address blocking violated net neutrality regulations and will no longer be allowed.
Thank god for net neutrality. We of course have that here in America right? Cus freedom!
> Montana Governor Steve Bullock (D) signed an executive order requiring internet service providers (ISPs) with state contracts to adhere to “net neutrality.” The state became the first to enact such measures in response to the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) decision to repeal net neutrality rules last December.
but they could have. still could. and you might not even know. and the fact that one of our political teams has been fighting SO HARD against net neutrality is a big red flag.
protections are important even if someone's not actively and noticeably abusing people right this minute.
There's been exactly zero problems in 20 years (the idea was introduced in 2003), yet somehow "still could. and you might not even know.".
No one is fighting "so hard" this is a dead topic.
T-Mobile offers to zero rate YouTube if you let them throttle it - it's your choice. Would that be legal under Net Nutrality? Would they have to get permission from YouTube?
>No one is fighting "so hard" this is a dead topic.
AI was a pretty dead topic after the 80's boom as well. Hell, we can argue VR is still a "dead" topic, but we know sometime in our (millenial+) lifetime that we're going to have major landmark cases over VR/AR tech.
I'd rather patch loopholes before they get abused at this point.
> And despite not having net neutrality in the US not a single one of the fears came true.
That same set of scoundrels[1] that CF backtracked on defending keeps having routing issues (on top of their ddos issues).
Supposedly they (or someone related?) recently complained to a state AG under a state-level net neutrality rule. Not sure if it's been long enough to know if anything'll come of it.
