When the whole country gets free, high speed internet, Will we get net neutrality and the right to encrypted communication with that?

Should people be permitted to have truly private conversation over the internet? Doesn't the high tech-ness simply upstage my right to privacy? Or was that National Security?

@sunsporter1649 you're paying more not to do it, so just say Thank you.

@Stopmakingsense Who determines how "high-speed" is "high-speed"?

@sunsporter1649 that's silly

@Stopmakingsense 5 per second? 10 per second? 15 per second?

LordShadowfire · M

@Stopmakingsense I'm sorry for that. It's just that @sunsporter1649 has made himself known to me as a low effort troll who just repeats the same few phrases like a parrot. I'll behave now.

@LordShadowfire Who pays for this alleged "free internet"?

LordShadowfire · M

@sunsporter1649 It's not as expensive as the carriers want you to think. They are capitalist corporations who exist solely to make money, so they jack up the price for the end user.

@LordShadowfire Is that not the point of it all?

LordShadowfire · M

@sunsporter1649 I mean, I'm not telling you anything you don't know about capitalism. Just saying, it costs a hell of a lot less than you think.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@LordShadowfire So don't buy their products or services

LordShadowfire · M

@sunsporter1649 My point, which seems to have sailed several feet above your head, is that internet is much cheaper than you think, so asking who pays (not pay's, genius) for it is moot.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@LordShadowfire How much does it cost?

LordShadowfire · M

@sunsporter1649 Not enough for you to keep squawking about it like a parrot.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@LordShadowfire You mean all those towers spring up all on their own, and are maintained and repaired all by themselves?

LordShadowfire · M

I think that's enough SW for a night. It's just trolls all the way down.

@sunsporter1649 you alone will pay for it
