Will the death of Net Neutrality mean the death of a free Scene.org or Pouet.net?

I sincerely hope that that idiotic Indian fellow of the FCC who's spearheading this vote will lose, and that Freedom of Speech prevails over Greed and Control of the Internet by bloated, wealthy corporations, while we have to pay through the nose just to get the same service we've always enjoyed for free.

This may be a Stateside issue, but like everything Stateside, it will hit the rest of the world eventually. I only hope that the servers for the above are not housed in the USA.

Fuck it.

I can't even make a joke about this.

I ran out of energy of dealing with this.

Well we *did* have the thread recently about what would be required to get people back into BBSes... maybe this is your answer.

I guess the free days are definitively coming to an abrupt end, then? :(

Why is everyone so certain that Ajit Pai will win, anyway? I heard that even most Republicans are against his plan, so he'd be shot down (even if not literally) right there and then! So what gives his plan such solidity? He's ignored 22,000,000 comments from concerned Americans, I doubt they are going to let that lie. I predict riots and blood in the streets, to be frank.

Riots and blood, because of net neutrality?

Damn straight. I'm deadly serious. Pai has a very shootable face (hint, hint).

No, not seriously, and I wish I could take back that comment, but I would seriously like to punch him at least, so do thousands of others from what I've seen. Feel free to remove that last sentence of mine if you like, I don't know how to remove my own comments here.

I'm just very angry and worried, and so should you all be, too.

The pouet bbs is dying tbh, so those posts just seem to stick around longer.
