Will Net Neutrality be a major issue in 2018?

[Renew Deal]

It should be. It should be discussed as part of the republicans Misery Agenda. It directly hurts all consumers.

1. It's not a gut-level issue at this point

Only if it becomes one will it be part of the political discussion in 2018. If Internet providers go really slowly on it, it could well be the camel with his nose in the tent.

2. should be a big issue for the younger crowd. too bad they only vote in small numbers eh? nt

3. won't be in top 10 of campaign issues at all

way more important issues facing americans

4. Will Americans see any problems from it personally by then?

If so, then yes for sure.

If no, then probably still a minor one, but more from the point of cons mocking people by saying things like “Does your internet still work? Do you pay separate charges for email and social media? Is your ISP censoring your internet? No? But they went all over saying it would happen- don’t believe them on anything else either”.

5. Probably not

I'm still not sure how far back the rules were rolled.

Are they rolled back to 1996?

Are they rolled back to 2010?

There will probably be legal cases....

Will there be targeted throttling of bit torrents?
Will there be targeted throttling of pornhub?

Bit torrents and sites like pornhub are the most likely to experience throttling. I personally don't use them.

My kids have used bit torrents in the past.
However, their use of bit torrents has been to get something for nothing. (Games, games, games, movies, movies etc)

6. Extremely unlikely

Most people won't notice anything different so it won't be an issue.

7. It can definitely mobilize younger voters

(The ones who disproportionally don't use cable and use Netflix instead)
