So..assuming am blocked from accessing netflix, or told to pay more to get it, you are saying corporations should control what content I can or cannot get to.
When a law is written, it covers everything, not just Hulu or netflix. As SC said, some of you lack basic comprehension. If you want a perfect example of what happens, just go back a few years ago when the ISP's decided to block content providers. So though I paid for Internet, there was no content, except what the ISP wanted me to get, and they banded together on it. So first, we let the Internet providers merge to create oligopolies that control services, then now, we take away the rule that prevents them from stiffling the content on it. If that rule that makes it legal for that to happen makes sense to you, then we have bigger problems than just this.

Net Neutrality is targeting (for the Nth time) content providing sites for streaming content and they are going after the largest ones. I seriously doubt that once all this is settled in you will be blocked from Eccie.
This site see's in 1 year probably what NetFlix see's in 1 hour traffic wise.
the CDA petition is more geared at shutting down sites that have illegal content and for now they are focusing on human trafficking so BP and other sites will be the 1st ones they hit. But if they word the language just right in the proposal to include any illegal act then sites like Eccie, Eros, P411, and even individual escort sites can get the person who runs / manages those sites in legal trouble.
But if you are afraid the Net Neutrality will prevent you from getting laid
then I have a
site for you that can help you.
