Comic Perfectly Illustrates The World Without Net Neutrality, And You Won’t Like It

WeRateDogs owner Matt Nelson has already pulled off an awesome prank on the FCC Chairman Ajit Pai (a proponent of a rule change that would threaten net neutrality), and illustrator Karina Farek has created a comic that perfectly shows why Matt and the majority of the internet are against what Pai so strongly stands for.

Basically, net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers must treat all data on the internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication. This means that internet service providers can’t block, slow down or charge users money for specific websites and online content. Scroll down to check out what the world would look like if all of this goes to waste.

If more people would realize what giving up net neutrality in the long run would mean, there would be much more opposition. All packets are created equal!

I think there's plenty of opposition now but the greedy rat bastards don't care what the people want as long as there is a buck to be made. Democracy, hell, it's time to get out the pitchforks and torches.

The whole thing is just stupid. What do people intend to gain from putting limits on the internet, aside from a tiny amount of income? Most people will just give up on using the internet all together depending on prices just to check their facebook or something.

It's not a tiny income. They're going to gain a lot because people who use the internet for work will be forced to pay more. If people want to watch Netflix or Hulu or any other streaming service, they'll have to pay more. These people are doing this to gain more power and more money. Social media is a huge part of some people's jobs and careers and without net neutrality, they lose everything or pay to keep making a living.
