Trump’s Friends And Net Neutrality

No, this is not a warning to liberal readers.

This is a warning to conservative readers who’ve bought into the entire “revoke Net Neutrality” argument.

Because Chris Reeves on The Daily Kos – yes, a progressive website – has a terrifying tableau just for you.

A taste:

Let’s say, in a large part of conservative America, Time Warner/Charter, AT&T, Verizon or some other entity decided boy, they sure don’t like the reporting of Fox News. Fox News has been kind of mean to them lately. The response? They slow Fox News website up. Maybe they don’t like Rush Limbaugh or they think Alex Jones online TV show is a bandwidth suck and they just don’t like him. Well, they can slow him up or prevent you from visiting the website altogether.

What choice do you have as a consumer if Net Neutrality is repealed: none.

In fact, we’ve already had cases where providers have done exactly that.

If you want to see more about how the end of Net Neutrality could emasculate conservative readers, click the link above and ignore some of the more ascerbic overtones.  Yeah, I know progressives are know-it-alls. Sometimes they’re right.
