Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers should treat all data on the internet equally.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
@9LQH3MDConservative10mos10MO
No, treat all the same and I don't believe Internet providers should be able to meddle with speed, particularly to end users via phone line companies. This should be illegal and business should set the example
@9JZM429 12mos12MO
Yes, but this should be available as a separate contract that you buy, and be cheaper than just regular internet, and also should be made very clear that this is the case.
@9FM4K3P1yr1Y
It depends on the website's content.
@9G5MCLJ1yr1Y
Treat all traffic equally as otherwise competition will be removed and artificial scarcity would be created, leading to a price hike.
@9BZW66W2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as there's a maximum to the level of disparity they are allowed to create
@99F89S62yrs2Y
No, and enshrine net neutrality into law
@99CPGTQ2yrs2Y
No treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet and this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity and increase prices.
@97LL6ZQLiberal Democrat2yrs2Y
No furthermore they should publicly and accurately report their speeds and latency, with live graphs.
@96BK6NR2yrs2Y
@93JW4YQ3yrs3Y
Should be down to the websites popularity and no the fee they pay the provider
@8TSQ5G74yrs4Y
This would lead to big news corps like CNN getting more than smaller news stations reducing freedom of press and information and stopping certain viewpoints from coming across
@8TP34YC4yrs4Y
Yes but only if they state in the package that they do so and which websites they are.
@onefatpopstar14yrs4Y
yes, but make a nationalized internet provider that speeds up government websites and shuts down websites for religious reasons
@8S44KX24yrs4Y
The government should stay away from the internet industry
@8RXWH3H4yrs4Y
No, although maybe they should give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website).
@8RTTX944yrs4Y
Speed up popular websites dont slow down unpopular ones
@8QCFNBZ4yrs4Y
Yes, but I would prefer if they don't.
@8Q6MFPG4yrs4Y
No, the internet should be controlled by the government like China and they should see only what we want them to see
@8Q2T8K64yrs4Y
Yes - but only at times that are busy such as Christmas or boxing day
@9CNY7JL2yrs2Y
People still do like the others leaset ones and will be annoyed
@8PJBRBGLiberal Democrat4yrs4Y
yes but with an established watchdog to set rates and penalise companies that abuse their power.
@8P9KYKR4yrs4Y
Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website), this would make the internet faster and more reliable for users
@8K8GVW94yrs4Y
Yes but measured by popularity not pay
@8FC68664yrs4Y
No, it should be the same speed all around.
@8KJS9694yrs4Y
No, I believe that that they should just censor any websites which are judged by the British courts to be of a critical nature
Things would currently stay as they are, unless a petition was successful in getting a vote via Liquid Democracy.
