Comment Re:Net Neutrality needs to die (Score 1) 248

1. You have no idea how spam prevention works, denying something at the application level has nothing to do with net neutrality.
2. Blocking malicious traffic does not violate net neutrality, the only criteria that net neutrality forbids is giving traffic priority in exchange for money.
3. Blocking web sites means having a proxy which again, removes malicious or unsuitable content at the application level AT THE REQUEST OF THE END USER.

You're either ignorant or a shill.

Neither reflects well on you.

It will be solved when the US legalizes drugs, and stops putting people in jail (coincidentally breaking up families, something highly correlated with children becoming criminals later in life) for non violent crime. The whole stigma associated with having been incarcerated means even if they served their time (with actual violent nasty people) even for something nonviolent, they will have an incredibly hard time finding gainful employment afterwards.

This problem lies squarely on the hypocritical protestant morals and latent racism inherent in the US justice and legislative apparatus. Blacks are much more likely to go to prison for possession of controlled substances compared to whites, and then having served their time, end up being permanently excluded from having any sort of normal life.

The war on some drugs is the single worst policy ever implemented in the US, but it is an awfully effective tool for oppressing minorities and the poor.
