Thank you for reiterating that snowden "fled to russia" even though everyone here knows that's a lie. It's good to know that this place is still considered worth trolling by the lying powers that be.
Is a problem "solved" in your book when it is still ongoing? https://www.engadget.com/2017/... Realistically the problem isn't that it would happen, but that our ISPs WANT it to happen, which means it is going to wind up mysteriously occurring. The will of the ISPs is the actual problem here, not the symptoms of throttling.
"Actually scratch that, it's a simpler, bigger problem. Ever since the mid 90s the job of search engines had been to find relevant stuff in a sea of junk"
Not really. What was available in 1995 was nothing in light of what exists today. You were grateful for the avenues that you had to "search" anything.
Not all of us want to make the internet into your safe space. Way to endorse censorship though
Prove to me that those ads had any effect at all, even assuming that they really were russian, and were political. Until then, your crisis is bullshit.
... then the report is simply not trustworthy. Anyone reading slashdot comments has been reading paid american propaganda, government or corporate, regardless of whether they know it or not.
.. who has a daily diet of cable TV news. Russia propaganda? You mean RT? Please, as if that has any sway. Or are you deluded such that you would call wikileaks russian propaganda?
It's not, their fault that sociopathic behavior in the buying of our political system is so darn lucrative! I'm having a hard time believing that anyone actually thinks this shit-- Nestle has more power over our political system than any of us individually could ever hope to have, and yet they're the victim?
... regarding assange, for years leading up to the 2016 election, in amongst your bleating yelps of "rapist! " . Someone needs to get you a new script.
"they are examples of reporters trying to report the truth and failing."
Bullllllshit. You are either paid, or one of the most delusional people I've ever seen regarding the media
If someone's not paying you already, you probably could make some money playing dumb like this--for example, Israel or Monsanto would gladly pay you for your writing service.
And this has what, exactly, to do with a racist website? Do you think that racist would have just disappeared if not for some racist websites he likely never visited?
You think WaPo and CNN weren't pro-hillary?
I think you must've been observing this election from another planet if you think either of those outlets didn't do whatever they could to help her win, especially in the primaries with their many hit pieces on Sanders. Delusional.
And you seriously expect to give toothless western media a pass by comparing all of them collectively to one outlet under a dictatorial regime? Wow, that is sad.
Next, the trolls will just be bots posting programmatically contrived garbage.
As for who pays for these sorts of activities, Glen Greenwald's piece (through The Intercept) on paid trolling is solid

Calling assange a rapist apparently got old for you guys, huh? The last several years of disinfo shilling still failed to make people ignore wikileaks.
After all, the majority of people who read comments on this site will only ever encounter paid trolls employed by US corporations, or the US government... or maybe Israel. And tons of them, at that. Weird how/. almost never has articles about American-paid trolling, when it is perhaps the most damaging variety for americans.

So yes, this does make the internet worse. "But that's just mobile traffic!" nope it aint:

Dream? Do you mean the fear of ISPs throttling competing video services, which comcast and verizon have been caught doing several times?

Are you a bot or do you just copypaste shit? Are you capable of actually responding to anything that is said to you?
Wikileaks has been releasing material on the CIA for months. Way to not respond to me at all though.
... regarding assange, for years leading up to the 2016 election, in amongst your bleating yelps of "rapist! " . Someone needs to get you a new script.
... imo. Or at least, good programmers. There's a lot of metal overlap between the fields.

... because your and my taxes are paying for it. Paying, to be lied to.
Everyone on /. really cares. No, really.
So java died nearly ten years ago.. before android even took off. Yeah, keep telling yourself that

... now I'm going to spend three paragraphs complaining about their complaining.
Could you at the very least not provide perfect examples of pro-monsanto shilling, in an article partly about monsanto shills?
