If a person owns an ISP they have to equally pass on all the bad social network media.
The social media that removes comments, bans accounts, reports users. Social media products and services the ISP users might not all need or want.
Under NN the ISP is forced to support services for free that its users might not want to pay for.
The regulations keep social media services from having to pay for networks. A free network for services that push censorship and deranking.
With NN rules removed that ISP can focus on products and services that its paying users want.
A new search engine that does not derank results for party political reasons?
A new social media product that does not remove accounts, report users and respects freedom of speech and after speech.
The boring part political product that helps governments censor is given less support.
The new products that support freedom get user support.
Users get the products and services they want from their ISP networks. Less of a federal NN free ride for social media that wants to control what users link to and comment on.
Re "it _IS_ possible that when ISP's start to charge for content, that others will use this opporunity to rebrand services which are free... as a bonus.."
Thats the idea. Say a service is deranking results. Removing content. Removing comments. Banning and reporting users.
Federal NN gives protection for existing bad services to keep having their censored service been passed on equally by every ISP for free.
With NN removed an ISP can support a new service offering a better service that its consumers want.
New products and services that support freedom can enter the market.
Political products, brands and services that censor and block won't get a free network ride as they did under federal NN rules.
The bonus will be that the internet is again open to competition not just having to support big politically connected social media bands for free under NN.
Know what results are needed.
Does a medical database have to track phone calls, public and private databases to ensure every person who had a test got their results?
If a person had contact with a professional over a result? That person never got a result and never saw the professional after a test was done.
That a person actually got their results and did not move to another part of the country?
Bring in an expert who has worked with the exact problem around the world and who can make a database work in your country.
Real skills and the local experts get network and database they want.
Have political and gov move in and demand they be allowed to build the network with gov staff and other contractors who have no skills.
Thats how big gov can fail.
Take a project from the gov that has the skills and give to the politically connected private sector.
The contractors have no skills.
Thats how contractors can fail.
Stop using people with no skills. Stop allowing people to work on complex projects who did not pass their exams and got given a decade of social advancement.
IT can work if the right experts in the private sector, gov, mil or as contractors are found.
Stop advancing very average people with no skills into the IT sector every generation.
Find professionals that can understand complex problems.
The BND and NSA want to spy so they have weak junk open networks. Thinking no other such nation has skills.
Domestic police want to spy on all the new random people just wondering around.
Interesting people the police know nothing about and who have no valid documents.
Collect it all only works if the domestic gov/mil/telco networks are secure and only searchable by a nations police and security services.
Opening the "internet" to the world and then setting crypto keys as junk to spy on everyone domestically will just allow other groups to spy on the same networks.
Staging servers that the rest of the world can see are not useful. Other nations just copy your most advanced gov/mil malware.
That is then used to spy on your own mil/gov.
It like Enigma all over again. Your codes are not secure, stop trusting your junk communications networks. Too many other nations are again collecting everything in real time.
Once the trap door and backdoors are open and the keys copied its a bit strange to "warn" people of the results of gov mandated junk encryption and wide open networks.
If you want security keep your networks secure.
If the networks are wide open junk to support collect it all, a lot of other people, criminals, communists, cults, faiths, govs, spies, mil will be collecting for free too.
What lets the NSA, GCHQ, BND, MI6, CIA in lets every other nation, faith group, mil, gov, criminal group and their spies in too.
Their collection will result in advanced social engineering of people in the gov, mil, NGO and civil society.
A kind of different https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... that keeps a weak gov in place run by other nations rather than just supporting a direct coup.
Encrypt. Or do not encrypt. There is no secure social media.
How to fix this. Stop with the junk US encryption. Too many people are getting into secure network for free.
Learn how to spy on all the interesting people as a set of people who are in the same faith, communists. That stops the collect it all work load of having to spy on everyone in Germany.
Be like the GCHQ was for Ireland, spy on all interesting people all the time. Use special forces/police when the spying results are found.
Less like the Stasi with huge files on everyone that cant be search for useful information in real time.
Secure your gov, mil and political networks again. Spies, faith groups and criminals working deep in gov,mil, security services need to be found.
The internet is not the problem, its just the method to get free information on who to spy on. Stop uploading information about people who are connected to your gov/mil to for other nations to read about on the internet.
Stop publishing so much about your gov, mil, politicians, think tanks, consultants on line.
The West was smart and did not publish such information for the Stasi in the 1970-80's. Stop doing it now for free and giving everything away for other spies, faith groups, communists and governments now.
Stop hiring spies that are working for faith groups, other nations, other nations mil, having contact with communists. They don't need work deep in the gov/mil/police. All they are doing is spying.
Stop warning and start investigating who is spying.
Lets just keep funding education so that below average students who might pass a test will pass a test?
More funding and test results will improve next decade?
Re "Shouldn't they be a bit more concerned about their mood while clocking in?"
Three unemployed men find themselves in the same bar in an American town. They ask each other why they lost their jobs.
The first unemployed man says that he used to arrive at work everyday looking sad. He was fired for wanting to start a union.
The second unemployed man says that he used drive to work looking happy everyday. He was fired for accepting a bribe.
The third unemployed man says, "I used to walk into work looking the same every day."
"What sort of a mood is that?" the other two unemployed men ask.
"I was accused of been a well-disciplined Russian spy."
Not everything fits into a container for rail transport, onto the back of a truck.
Tourism in nice quaint lake area with new gov regulations about not having more pollution.
Buy a ship from China and impress local regulators with no more local pollution.
For an NSA you will need a list of nations that can support your staging servers and collection sites.
Start with a 5 eyes and grow it to NATO size.
Make sure the nations are globally located to ensure world wide collect it all. Hide them for decades under UK/US names like Langeleben, Masirah Island, Mutlah Ridge, Silvermine, Two Boats, Windmill, Daniels Head. The media will never believe a whistleblower with names like that over the decades.
Collect it all globally and when interesting people are found 4 hops from other interesting people use the power of the

People notice the UK/US base building and expansion. Water use, cooling , power, Room 641A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Having private sector security guards run out and question people with a camera on public land in the area also draws internet attention to a sensitive site.
Ex mil who take up the first amendment audit hobby know who your contractors are and will tell the world about communications front companies.
Having to use the other domestic law enfacement "agencies" to provide domestic color of law when spying within the USA.
Too many people have to know and support global collect it all. Courts, telcos, contractors, lawyers, big brands, junk OS developers, tame AV brands, mil, federal investigators and police. Ex and former staff then tell their faith, cult, new boss, criminal groups, other governments for cash.
Problems like SISMI-Telecom scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... , Greek wiretapping case 2004–05 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...–05 start to happen as too many people have the trapdoor, back door to junk encryption.
The global collection network gets too big and is then discovered, access is sold to criminals, shared with faith groups. People who really map and understand the "internet" start to find the security services once hidden staging servers and copy out all the gov/mil grade malware.
Too many contractors trying to keep too many secrets that still have to give full access to the US gov and mil in real time.
Having to tell political leaders success stories to get next years budget. Political leaders then tell the media of winning. Secrets get told and the media spreads the best collection methods to anyone who can follow the news.
Low pay for gov and mil workers. Contractors getting more pay. Criminals, cults and other nations walk in and help with cash payments and an understanding converstaion. Too many internal spies are created as too many people know too much and cant cover their living costs.
How to make a GCHQ.
Follow the US idea of global collection but put a lot more effort into the actual interesting people.
Dont tell your contractors, lawyers, courts, police, media of the results, methods, tools.
Pay your mil and select contractors really well. Dont let trusted staff talk to the media, human rights lawyers, courts.
No need to mention car, van, helicopter, aircraft tracking for any reason to anyone. The results of pushing malware into any cell phone.
Just pass the results onto a select few trusted mil and police units. Set up something within your own police like the Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch. Get them to work with the mil and social forces. Stay away from all other police, lawyers, courts. Act on results using the special forces and very select loyal police units only.
Such secrecy is now needed as telcos, courts, police, some in mil, gov, political parties, NGO, human rights groups are now flooded with people who have never had background investigations.
1+ for this AC.
"fully support repealing all so called "net neutrality" regulation because even a few minutes of thought reveals it is the best thing for bringing total freedom to internet."
Just as long as censorship and account closures can move along the internet as the same speed as party political propaganda.
What did NN do for a few monopoly ad and social media brands?
NN entrenched a few brands global monopoly so they can support their side of US politics with censorship and by banning accounts.
NN allowed a search engine to derank search results to support a political side to US politics.
NN allowed social media to report and ban users communication as SJW did not like the content.
NN allowed paper insulated wireline networks to claim they are NN supportive and should face no new competition in the marketplace.
NN gave the world censorship, is a barrier to entry for innovative new networks and allowed for the party political control of social media.
Removed federal NN rules and let the internet the free again. Stop federal NN rules from taking freedom of speech away and freedom after speech away.
Return the internet to the innovators and stop the NN enforced censorship of the internet by SJW.
That was the only time the US public got an understanding of what the NSA and CIA was doing domestically.
The result was to be congressional oversight.
The congressional oversight never worked and the CIA and NSA just kept collecting globally.
They never stopped. The domestic spying never got dealt with as they never had to stop.
NSA mass phone surveillance revealed by Edward Snowden ruled illegal (8 May 2015) https://www.theguardian.com/us...
Re "increasing a company's ability to manipulate"
Once the NN regulations are removed and competition has again entered the ISP market consumers will be able read all about their new ISP plans.
On their ISP site. A link from their ISP to the Commission.
Full publicly available disclosures about new plans on easily accessible websites.
In the past ISP got forced to comply with new federal NN regulations covering other fees, data caps and allowances.
Thats billable lawyer hours that an ISP has to pass on to comply with onerous federal NN rules.
Remove that NN regulatory fee and pass on the monthly savings to consumers.
B-52 has big new engines to consider. Relaxing glass cockpit for crew. Mission after mission over the sides of mountains hiding NK artillery.
NK has no airforce so it won't be like Vietnam. Stealth will remove all SAM before b-52 arrive over NK.
No need for anything fancy like Operation Bolo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Just keep the B-52 missions to a set and predictable 24/7 timetable. Just like stealth flights over Serbia.
Keep crews working with stop-loss.
Dont worry about it. The NSA and GCHQ have the phone numbers of all of NK command and control structure.
The CIA will do a deal and offer an Operation Paperclip escape deal.
During the fog of war all the high ranking mil of NK will just get to escape. No courts, why go looking for people who all stayed in tunnels and caves at the end of the war?
Another Kunduz airlift https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
A nice big payment and a new life anywhere.
The only part of the deal the NK mil has to keep is not to use all the systems NK has.
Conventional war is fine, just don't show up the US weakness by using a real ICBM.
The US mil can say its best new missile defense systems worked.
The NK mil gets to escape.
Win, win for everyone. The US contractors can then sell a "working" war "tested" missile defense system to a lot of other nations.
A system that was never actually used but it looked good on TV.
The missile defense system will work on TV but due to the skill of the NSA, GCHQ, CIA offering a deal not any new science.
Deals will have been done to sabotage NK most advanced weapons systems from within.
The actual war will look a lot like Switzerland had planned for in the 1950's. Some artillery hidden in a cave pointed at fixed locations.
A big Dien Bien Phu with lots of artillery.
The only way for NK to stop that is to turn all its most trusted listening stations inwards and see who in its own command is now doing deals with the CIA.
For NK to win it has to replace its entire command and control staff with people still loyal to NK. The CIA has already made too many of the existing top level staff in NK a great offer.
No more cell phones. Thats how the NSA and GCHQ are allowing the CIA to make direct deals.
With no cell phones the CIA will be reverting back to its standard broadcasts over all NK mil frequencies to stand down. No as good as a direct call to the new top officials.
Someone just promoted in NK might actually follow orders then.
The US mil has been messing around with this since the Christofilos effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... years.
Look for Project 137. Task Force 88. Operation Argus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... .
