Goodbye net neutrality.
Won’t it be so much fun when you have to pay for website “bundles” like they’re TV channels? The web is getting so centralized that maybe they’ll stop offering connections to anything other than Facebook and Shitter if you don’t pay for “unlimited” access.
Would be kinda convenient to make it harder to access fediverse platforms, or anywhere else that doesn’t moderate against any ideas to the left of Reagan.
Considering the amount of damage some of the things cause to people, I really do wonder what lengths people will go to, to continue indulging on their brain rot. Yes please, bundle all of the shitty social media platforms possible and put a $40 tag on it. Let's see how many people are willing to pay, to spread their toxicity and radicalized ideas. I would love to see the stats on that.
Also Net Neutrality is kind of dead already.
No. The biggest mainstream players in social media are all already aligned with the current administration. Meta et al. would be the ones to be available for free, and alternatives will be paywalled.
Uhh, no. You don't get it, really.
You have a lot of catching up to do. Good luck.
I think the other party was slightly misunderstood. They don't want to bundle up social media and make that the only option, they want to add a $40 hurdle to accessing the most popular forms of brain rot and leave the rest alone. At least that's the vibe I got
Replied down the line, was my interpretation any more accurate?
