F.C.C. Announces Plan to Repeal Net Neutrality

Re:F.C.C. Announces Plan to Repeal Net Neutrality by taurath on Tuesday November 21, 2017 @05:22PM (#15752174)

In 4 hours on HN, 70 points and 7 comments. Meanwhile, the entire rest of the internet regardless of political ranks (Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, CNN, NYTimes, Wall Street Journal, and Breitbart) this is top page news.

Can someone tell me why this is? Are founders okay with having to sign license agreements with Comcast to give 20% of profits of their video startup? Whats going on on HN?

Edit: I'm honestly not trying to be hyperbolic here, but I'm also getting down-arrowed quite a bit. This is an honest question

Edit 2: Okay, is see other thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15749150 with title "FCC plan would give Internet providers power to choose the sites customers see"

There are other HN pages linking to different news stories on the same subject, which have many more comments; for example:

Please look at least at the rest of the HN front page before taking discussion off topic with complaints about HN.

Better still is to use HN search (it's at the bottom of every page) to see if a topic has been discussed. Most of the time people post such complaints, it has been discussed thoroughly, and they just missed it. Usually more than once.

I ran afoul of the titles being the same as the source titles - I glanced and saw no net neutrality posts. My bad!

It's ok. Sorry for being a bit cranky today!

There's just not anything more we can say.

Or do.

They're taking away all of our rights and there's nothing we can do about it.
