DTube - Did a Cartoon Mouse just kill the internet? Disney Buys Fox As Net Neutrality Vote Looms
A new internet completely different from how we know it today may be just around the corner!
If the regulators get their way the internet will soon be turned into something that more resembles cable tv! The timing of Disney's acquisition is questionable to say the least.
In this video
Dan Dicks of Press For Truth breaks down what can be expected should net neutrality actually succeed.

Watching these major media companies buy each other is like watching an incestuous hillbilly family morph into something out of "The Hills Have Eyes".
awesome!!!!
What differs internet and cablt tv is that in internet you always could dive a step deeper into virtuality.
They will only succedeed in growth of grey and black nets.
I guess it is the commitment of virtuality and comparison of Compitation.
Illegal VR Lolicon Porn is so going to be a thing soon and it's going to make crack addiction seem like a minor problem in comparison.
To be real I'm completely fine with this. March of progress! Lolicon progress!
Decentralization is the next viable step for the future of the internet
This is what must happen. Mesh networks with blockchain technology. Everyone has a phone with a wifi connection. To heck with the big companies and politicians trying to screw us on essential services. All we need are phones and electricity.
You have said it all....
I hope it takes off fast before it's too late
Funny :D
This worries me greatly. We must decentralize the Internet.
Edit: Net Neutrality (aka government takeover) worries me greatly. My suggestion to decentralize the Internet is intended to make it harder for government and corporations to censor free speech.
You realize that "net neutrality" regulations actually CENTRALIZE the Internet with the FCC and the gov't at large?
Yes, I do realize that. I don't want net neutrality. I perfer allowing corporations to decide what services they can provide instead of leaving it in the hands of goverments to regulate with violence.
If we can't have 'net neutrality', then decentralization might be better. Because the system will be self serving than.
But the technological challenges will be in-manse. So it's not very likely to be happening.
It's not very likely to be happening? That can't be good!
uu do know the cable companie n tenensee forced alaw that forced chatanoogas gig public ISP to pay for internet access infrastructure in all of Tenesee...a law designed to specifically bankrupt the city of chatanoogas nascent gigabit ISP that was the fastest in the city.....https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/03/tennessee-kills-muni-broadband-expansion-bill-after-att-opposition/

Yeah guys i think decentralization is the way to go.
Doesnt seems like a easier task
Removing net neutrality gives more power to ISPs to censor the internet though. If it's in FCC's hand, even if they wanted to censor the internet they would be susceptible to the first amendment.
If ISPs censor content we are free to no longer choose to use their services and pick another ISP. With the feral government your choices are to either comply or pay fines or go to prison. The problem is the more power you give the FCC the more likely they are to continue chipping away at our First Ammendment rights. The FCC is much more likely than a corporation to censor content. Even the definition of "censor" describes a government action -
Note: "an official..."
If companies like facebook and youtube are spending money to censor content it is probably at the request of, to be on the good side of, or for fear of government.
The first amendment doesn't keep the FCC from censoring things. Why do you think there are certain words that can't be said on TV during "prime-time"??? not all speech is protected speech.

Please don't SPAM... Take a look in this before hurting your reputation.
The internet was designed to survive a nuclear war and on the upside will encourage workarounds and hacks. Also some ISP,s will market not doing it to attract customers. Just use a different gateway.
Not everyone in the US has the right to use a different gateway... The government sponsored (a.k.a. subsidized) monopolies are our only options. I think Mesh Networking is the way to go. and the great part is, most of us already have broadband wireless routers; so the infrastructure could already be in place to make the change now.
Soon we will have a solution to decentralise internet!
I hope, it comes as fast as possible.

Where is Aaron Swartz 2.0 ... @ironshield
Aaron Swartz - On Peer To Peer, Digital Rights Management and Web 2.0
Napster changed everything. For the average listener, they were previously solely limited to the mainstream records available in their small local record shop that usually wouldn't take risks on selling the work of smaller bands and artists; now they could listen to previously unheard bands free of charge, and therefore free of the risk of wasting hard earned money. This destroyed the influence that mainstream labels had upon culture and society to an extent. We could discover the music that we really wanted to discover, not what they wanted us to discover via traditional promotion methods.
Great call... I was thinking the same thing earlier today. Although I didn't know it at the time, it was my first glimpse the World of Steem.
(Sidenote: first post -- could not be more grateful to be here. Thank you all!)
Welcome to the platform :)

This sounds like bad news.
