No, nope, this is the exact opposite of what will likely happen. Facebook, Amazon, Netflix etc. will buy their lane, and will remain nominally free. Losing net neutrality would probably benefit Facebook more than any other company—even more than the ISPs. This isn’t 2003 anymore.https://twitter.com/numbersmuncher/status/941145743146053632 …

Ah, okay. This is the viral thread that gets it all wrong. This is the exact opposite of what will happen, as Facebook and other giants will buy their lane, and remain nominally free to the end-user. https://twitter.com/thereaIbanksy/status/940989790677291010 …
