Net neutrality... as you so ignorantly proselytise about has nothing to
do with morality security ..., its all about money!
The basic premise is that companies like netflix for example which
stream content take up huge amounts of bandwidth without compensation
to ISP's that have to maintain and provide said bandwidth to their
customers which cost them $
The end of this means that now companies that use ISP's bandwidth for
their own business model have to enter into agreements... to provide
compensation.
This may make it harder for small guys to get into market but when
hasn't that been the case in any
industry where larger entities have advantages and capital to invest
small guys don't.
As far as posters being shut down of course your'e only downloading
material which you have physical copies of as to backup copyrighted
material and not stealing proprietary content right, RIGHT!
Thus when companies who own said copyrighted material retaliate to
protect their investment you categorize it as evil and infringeing on
your said right to steal, RIGHT!
As far as SESTA goes their may some arguments made for and against
censorship (BTW this was in effect instituted for child porn being
promulgated) though it seems you would have no problem censoring
conservative thoughts by your veiled accusation of some loss of freedom.
Next time maybe make a sound argument based on fact if you want to have
a discussion rather than talking points from your entitled mentality of
legalized theft
