Net Neutrality and what it means for us!

I feel like this isn't how it's going to work. I HIGHLY doubt Nintendo can pay ISPs to block websites they don't like. Makes no damn sense. If they could? Can you imagine how much they'd be paying? It'd be worth it to just leave it alone at that point.

Your post is border line fear mongering, honestly. Of course not everyone will see it that way..

There'll be new websites coming up every day. Chill, someone WILL have those hack files, and they will put it up on other websites.

I have extra space on my PC. Time to fill it up with homebrew backups.

@Memoir Nintendo is getting Arab money from the Switch they are making 30 million switches next year? They said during January they have 569M profit Nintendo might have 2 Billion from Switch so when they pass NN Nintendo could pay. We all seen hacker one and what it has done so shutting down sites like this will lead to people hacking the consoles them self's finding there own exploits then reporting it back to Nintendo for profit. Hell Nintendo could shutdown Hacker One when they do it because they will see no harm because no one can't upload hacks.

Also fake Switch Hack will flood EBAY

Also Fear Mongering is kinda tru seeing that sites people use on a daily basis here like tpb (don't lie) is going down the shiter

But TPB there gonna make a rule that no ISP can Allow TPB

This isn't as outlandish as you guys think. Comcast and Verizon already said they're gonna block the majority of p2p connections (including torrents) so I'd take a second to download the torrents from 3ds.guide

I personally don't see it happening. I'm doing it just incase anyway.

Also with Wii for letter bomb you need to enter the Wii Mac address So please do it before the 14 thanks

Sounds like fear-mongering. Yes, it's not something that we should be happy or complacent about, granted, but running around and flaying our arms like Kermit the Frog won't get anything done, either. Call Congress, call your reps, do something other than sitting around.

Erm...let me stop you for a minute and point you towards Chary's article. I can see you've read it, but I don't think you've grasped the whole concept:

To take a snipplet:

It prevented companies like Comcast Xfinity and AT&T U-verse from speeding up, or slowing down certain sites based upon content.


It's that last part that is relevant. You see, the internet can basically boiled down to "a whole bunch of computers talking to one another". This talking is done by a protocol. A standard, so you will, of what the communication consists of, in addition to the content itself. The moment I press this "Post reply" button, for example, my computer will do some checks to make contact with gbatemp's servers. It will take this message, and put it in different packages. Each of these packages get sent out as if it were digital post cards, containing data like which computer to reach (gbatemp's server), which computer is mine (gbatemp's server will want to sent a "message sent" back once it has all the packages), the number of packages, the type of content (text on a forum of...vbascript? ), and of course the message itself.

I'm putting that "the type of content" between brackets because that's the part where net neutrality comes in. Between my PC and the server are a bunch of other PC's that transfer all these packages to one another until the receiver has them all. Those PC's inbetween (okay, they're more routers and switches and stuff, but I avoid technical stuff for now**) don't dissect the entire package, and usually don't even have all the packages to make something understandable of it*. They don't need to be either: like a postman, all they really need to know is the destination. However: even though they can't make out what the total message is, they can check deeper into the package and check what kind of content it is. what happened somewhat before the law on net neutrality was that some providers did check into that type of content, and gave it a higher or lower priority than other to be transferred packages. Because these inbetween-PC's process thousands upon thousands of packages, lowering the process priority is an effective way to slow down a type of communication.

So do you understand how your fear isn't really relevant here? gbatemp is a site on the world wide web. Nintendo can probably pay ISP's to slow down traffic to gbatemp, but they'd be absolutely insane to do so: not only would that slow down traffic to every other site on the world wide web as well. It would've been different if gbatemp uses a form of unique communication, but there are hundreds if not thousands of sites who would suffer equally.
In reality, nintendo would have has as much power without net neutrality as with...or the same as before the net became neutral in the first place.

*there's a good reason all the cyberspying happens on the receiving or the sending end: it's in all ways impossible to track anything inbetween
**and because I only know basics on this field.

Thanks for the knowledge.
