| If the United States FCC repeals net neutrality, will it impact TFM, and if it does, what will TFM do in response regarding their U.S. players? |

| TFM may run slower -- nobody knows yet. As for what TFM will do, probably nothing. They are a small company in France, I doubt they can go against companies that can literally buy Transformice in a heartbeat. The only thing we can do is hope that Congress will not approve of the repeal (Call your state representative, if you haven't already), and if it does get repealed, hopefully it stirs up enough of a shitstorm for net neutrality to be put back into place. |

Ramuffingm a dit : Net Neutrality is a movement here in America to prevent the Internet Service Providers (ISP's) from essentially favoring certain companies over others. Let's say a website such as YouTube partnered up with Verizon but the website Twitch did not, Verizon could actually give consumers faster data with YouTube and top of the line speed while their competitor who didn't partner with Verizon (In this example is Twitch) would get very slow data and consumers who use that site would experience loading, buffering and more. Net Neutrality is a way to allow consumers to have full control over the content they choose to use on an everyday basis without the government trying to control. Also, I am 95% sure there was an off-topic thread for this. Dernière modification le 1511318220000 |

| The vote is December 14th. The FCC and your ISP want to impose limits on a free internet; in other words, parcel it off into DLC like packages that cost you more, restrict parts of it, and selectively decide what you can and can't do on-line. Some examples of what we are facing if Net Neutrality falls:
Plus many more that could be listed and the list could go on, but these are some of the few. What you can do to help: https://www.battleforthenet.com/ - basically the main page for fighting aganist it. Includes useful information on what the Net Neutrality is and what we can do aganist about it to avoid, including to make a call to The Congress. https://www.savetheinternet.com/sti-home International version of you can show your resistance aganist it by signing the petition, making the call and sharing the word about it. Here are the people who will be voting on this issue - only five people. As it stands, they will repeal Net Neutrality. (3 Republicans are voting to abolish, 2 Democrats are voting to keep it) Look up your Representative and look up your Senator and let them know your stance on the issue. This affects us all. DO. YOUR. PART. Last edit: formatting and adding more information Dernière modification le 1511371980000 |

| The problem is that in places where the only telecom companies are ones that want to throttle with certain websites (i.e. Comcast and AT&T) will suffer the most with having to pay extra or block websites all together. It's also an attack on the US's freedom of speech. It's a step backwards into 1990's internet buffering at the hands of big corporations and the Trump administration. |
