I keep seeing this joke but don't get it. What's going on?

Amerilards trying to uncuck themselves after getting fucked by companies for so long.

It's some US thing where they are talking about some new internet bill as if it will change their ancient infrastructure and their slow-ass Internet speeds. Net neutrality is a basic thing the US really should have and fight for - but it's really the least of the Internet-related problems in the US.

Meanwhile in Europe I'm paying about $40 USD per month for my 100/100mbit connection. Gigabit is $90 month but I don't see the point.

A more important issue wold be the granting of local monopolies which is so common in the US (no, it's not a "free market" when your city has decided that only one company's allowed to have broadband cables in the ground).

People that don't understand what net neutrality is/does try making memes advocating for it and make others believe the same misinformation about net neutrality.

You're misinformed about what it does, net neutrality just gives control to the US government on how our packets are dealt with instead of ISPs. The reason Europe has better internet is because we have shitty laws that ISPs can abuse to keep a monopoly over a state/county so no other ISPs can give them competition

they lobbied and kickbacked their way into that situation, and now they've lobbied and kickbacked their way into a situation where the net neutrality is being repealed. 88% of the american public is against it but it provides the big 4 ISPs with innumerable new tools to tighten their stranglehold even more.

NN means isps have to treat all traffic equally and the government enforces that, saying that's giving packet control to the government is misleading

NN means all packets have to be treated equally, i.e. individual websites can't be throttled. The government "having control" would mean they could choose which websites are throttled, which is the exact opposite of the NN bill. Losing NN is what would lead to throttled websites.

Of course, there's a 90% chance I'm replying to a shill right now, but just in case you're an actual user; no, NN does not let the government control the Internet.

>net neutrality doesn't matter goys, why don't you stop paying attention, nothing to see here

Fuck off. Traditional media is heavily controlled, the Internet is the only space left for radical ideas. Unless you're perfectly happy with the way things are you should care about net neutrality. Lose this and sites deemed problematic will be effectively culled.

How to be a /pol/-/g/ crossboarder.
1. Be a post-gamergate newfag.
2. Understand nothing about technology or 4chan's culture or values.
3. Parrot the most popular opinion from your favourite subreddit.
4. Call everyone who disagrees a cuck.

It was a stance against net neutrality. People made their pages load forever in protest, but it’s retarded because people who aren’t into the thing (like you) will just think it’s the host that’s slow.

Much better to do what the panel below shows, actually saying what the fuck is going on instead of memeing.
