Questions: Technology & Internet

Been on this site for 2 days and I am starting to see many of the same headings for posts as new threads. Am I in the matrix? have the bots started to take over the internet. *cringe*

Net Neutrality means that everything is treated neutrally on the web, or at least it's supposed to. It has served us quite well and there's no need to change it because it's not broken nor does it break anything.

The only people in America who want to repeal the Net Neutrality rules are ISPs, Conservative & Democrat politicians who receive large campaign contributions from those ISPs, and Republican voters who don't quite understand or grasp the consequences that will come from the removal of such rules.

Imagine turning your internet access into what Cable TV looks like still today. Want access to FB & Twitter? Well you'll have to make sure you add on the "Social Media" package to your internet.

Want Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon? Well you better add the "Media" package to your internet.

No, I'm not kidding. By removing Net Neutrality rules, the large internet service providers like Cox, Time Warner, AT&T, etc. will be able to block - or throttle (slow down) your connection to any website they please.

Donald Trump is friendly with the CEOs of those ISPs so anything he deems to be "Fake News" can and will be throttled or blocked entirely. Imagine searching for CNN or Huffpost on your PC only to have your ISP tell you that website is blocked.

Or maybe your ISP wants you to pay for cable so they block your access to Hulu, Netflix, etc.

Even if they don't do any of the above, they will 100% absolutely force websites to sign contracts with them and require that they pay for the ability to access their "customers." Netflix will cost you a LOT more, as will Hulu, etc.

Want to start a website? Well too bad, because if you aren't paying every ISP a premium price, you can't even gain visitors to your site, no matter how awesome it is. Why not? Because Cox or Comcast didn't receive your payment. This will happen if Trump and his cronies repeal the Net Neutrality rules.


They claim Net Neutrality is govt in your lives, but that's not true. It's the exact opposite.

I sent this before but I need more opinions.

I sent somone a message. for the first week in was sent but not delivered.

week later it was changed to a full blue circle and marked as delivered but not read. it has been like that for over a month.

I did a test and sent my other friend a message and he looked on his phone.

the only time it was a blue circle marked delivered but not marked as seen was when he ignored the message and didn't even open it. so I am pretty much assuming this person ignored my message.

is there any other explanation as to why it was delivered but not seen. or was it ignored. I'm pretty much accepted that it was just ignored.
