net neutrality... what do you think about this ...
I think crappy service and unfair practices begets greater competition.
I remember when you wanted a ? answered ...
you would go look it up ... now you get all kinds of sites...
so which do you choose ... and some never give you the answer
I'm not sure that has anything to do with "net neutrality."
I think "net neutrality" has more to do with internet service providers manipulating access and speeds to the internet, rather than regulating morality or censorship or advertising business practices on the internet.
Like if Comcast decided people should be reading Huffington Post rather than Drudge Report so anyone visiting Drudge Report started experiencing download speeds like dial up on any site they visited, whereas Huffington Post viewers started experiencing normal or high download/browsing speeds.
Or if Disney paid Verizon to slow download speeds on people watching Netflix, and making sure Disney streaming users never experienced a slowdown.
IMO what you are referring to has more to do with companies like Google that control their own search engine and what results you're shown by using their search engine.
It's not really affecting your access to the internet so much as controlling what they show you by using their service.
If Google could keep you from using Chrome or internet explorer or duckduckgo or some other search engine, that would be in violation of "net neutrality."
I don't think censoring your search using their service is in violation. Only if they keep you from accessing something else on the internet.
I think most search engines censor their results. Especially google, and sites like Facebook.
I don't know all that much about it though.
I've only really read about ISP's controlling access and throttling.
I have started to see the advertisements ...where there never was before
That's another issue entirely.
Sites are constantly looking to monetize the internet.
Most browsers like firefox and ie you can download applications like adblocker to hide advertisements.
But the sites/advertisers figure out their ads are being blocked and come up with ways to circumvent ad blocking software, which drives ad blocking and cookie blocking companies to come up with new ways to hide them.
Sometimes there is a gap and advertisements become more prominent as they figure out new ways to force visitors to see the advertising.
But I don't think it has anything to do with "net neutrality."
