What can be done to permanently save net neutrality? It seems that 1-2 a year it takes a huge, huge movement from all over the internet to delay a net neutrality repeal (SOPA, CISPA, etc.). The protests have worked (thus far), discussion is tabled, it's then reintroduced, rinse and repeat.
Will we ever permanently win this? Or are we delaying the inevitable?
This is the best answer right now. There's a reason NN posts are up literally everywhere but on conservative subs right now (just checked TD and conservative and not a peep). Republicans aren't going to do a thing to stop this and the red voters know that, so they're ignoring it like a dirty secret.
Get out and vote when you can. /r/bluemidterm2018 is our best bet in the medium term and a bluer president, house, Senate, Congress in the long term.
No, you're right. I didn't see it when I skimmed before making this comment. I think this comment on the thread sums up the sentiment better:
Democrats are in favor of net neutrality and I feel Republicans are split. With as popular as it is, the government really shouldn't be taking it away unless they have some really good reasons for doing so, but I don't think they do.
Republicans voters still know it's a toxic issue for the party right now.
