This is why I like John Oliver. It's not partisan, it's informative, and it educates and helps people to make their voice heard. Sure, he criticizes Trump a little, but I don't think it's uncalled for.

Didn't find a topic on this after searching for both "John Oliver" and "Net Neutrality".

Thoughts? How do you guys feel about Net Neutrality?

John Oliver is garbage. And what the f*** does he have to do with American politics? Tell him to go back to Britain or whatever.

What an incredible xenophobe you are.

Anyway yes, everyone should care about net neutrality, and should be aware of how Ajit Pai is concocting an evil plan to screw you all over.

The people with money that wanted to make more money by killing net neutrality got what they wanted because Americans were divided and very distracted by the division at the time. Whether the people that pushed it through sought to grow the divide via media string-pulling is open to question. I personally wouldn't doubt it, but who knows. But anyway it's over and done with. The cat isn't going to give up the canary that's already in its stomach.

I've yet to meet anyone who has had net neutrality explained in simple terms who didn't go "oh shit, that's fucked up that they want to change that!"

But because it's understood as a complex issue and most people jsut think it's some complicated "government wants to control you" legislation, it easily divides people.

This isn't the first time he has covered this and it sounds like an issue that deserves attention despite what you think about John Oliver.

Giving internet service providers control over internet speeds for certain sites will not end well.

I don't trust my internet provider as is.

Like many things it's an issue that everyone should be upset about, but it's been hijacked as a partisan issue and many people are apparently blindly against it because they see it as a leftie big gubmint thing rather than a "literally corporations want to screw you and that's all there is to it" issue.

He does bring up Trump, but very slightly. It's related since it's Trump's government that is setting out to roll back the Net Neutrality legislation that happened during Obama's time. But the only thing he says about Trump is something along the lines of "Trump has shown he doesn't understand what Net Neutrality is", cites a tweet, and makes a comparison. IIRC.

I think what people should start appreciating more is that news doesn't have to be unbiased - it only needs to be accurate. If you report that Ajit Pai is trying to roll back net neutrality and all the effects this will have on people, and that Trump's administration supports this move, that's accurate. It's not automatically fake news just because it clearly paints Trump in a negative light.

because something being politicized makes it immediately questionable for the opposition.

Conservatives will see this after seeing John Oliver blatantly wrong about almost everything else and think he's wrong on this because he always is.


Which is a mistake

lol how often is John Oliver blatantly wrong? He's been right about almost every topic he covers.

Net Neutrality should be something everyone not a corporation should support.

But whatever, if you Americans wanna sabotage your internet because of "TEH LIBRULS", you deserve it.


What concerns me is that if this passes in America and the corporate lobbyists start raking in cash based on a subscription model internet with "premium fast lanes", how long before every other country tries to adopt a similar model? I don't want this to happen in the USA because I don't want it to be the first domino to fall.

We would almost certainly see a push for it here. Our internet laws are already bad as it is, but we need to make sure they are the worst bar none.

If he wanted to be considered non-partisan, he shouldn't have spent the last year being a blatant liberal shill and trump-hater.

I used to like him until he threw away all of his credibility.
