Yes sorry. The browser is directly owned by a for-profit, then.

You're talking about the same Firefox that displays ads on my home page by default, sends analytics to them by default, and is owned by a foundation that is owned by a for-profit company?

I don't like it, it's un-C-like.

Banning the spreading of ideas requires control of information, yes.

I think "protesting in front of twitter HQ for enabling a political view I don't like" is a silly thing to do. If you don't like X (in this case fascism) I am sure there are better things you can do to stop it, like creating an alternative that those who like X would adhere to.

They will just switch to whatsapp. I'm sure "human rights" advocates will be extra happy about the end to end encryption now :')

"human rights abuses"... so they will lean left, like that Twitter committee.

>ALICE fails to adequately peer with CAROL’s autonomous network and calls it a feature.

It also works the other way around: CAROL does not want to pay ALICE to have premium access.

Also, laughable that you call me a shill. Seems like the most used argument when you don't agree with someone. I'm not even American. So your "BOB can't switch ISPs" does not even apply here.

Liechtenstein has a population of 37,666 and Monaco has a population of 37,308. I mean, they are "countries", but...

>Side note, Netflix isn't using any traffic. They're not sending me a UHD video stream unsolicited. I'm using the traffic.

Milk companies put their lorries in the highway to deliver their products. You're the one buying milk. Are you the one who's using the highways?

If Netflix wants a premium highway let them pay for it. Otherwise they will have to use the normal highway, the one that's worked fine until Netflix decided to fill it with lorries.

ISPs are neutral here, the problem is, once again, that Netflix uses a HUGE amount of traffic, and the normal routes (the ones everybody gets) get saturated.

If they want "premium" routes for their MASSIVE traffic, they will have to pay to the ISPs. I think that's reasonable. Giving them premium routes for free would not be neutral, would it? ;)
