Thread... I don't know that there's any hope, but I've been wrong before! https://twitter.com/JustineBateman/status/857313553769938944 …

#NetNeutrality I want to say something about when the US loses this. And that thing is this: It's not over.

The companies that want granular control over your internet access are not stupid. They are not going to start charging you per site on day one. They are going to trick you. They are going to market to you.

Not a Netflix customer? Way pay extra to support streaming video? Here's a discount if you don't use Netflix, and don't worry, you'll still have Time-Warner content for free. It's a deal! faster internet for less money!

Don't want Nazis on your net? Well, we're building that, it'll be a way you can configure a "family friendly" internet, but our biggest requests from parent and educators is blocking sexual content. This will include LGBT etc. obviously including porn and sex work.

We know families are struggling, so the "Family Friendly" package blocking sex content is cheaper! Sorry, we don't have Nazi blocking worked out yet, it's pretty complicated. But we're thinking about a conservative vs liberal media package that does the same thing.

Some Nazi probably stole it, but if you try to retaliate you'll be put in Twitter jail.
