I'm reading A LOT of people have found ways of hiding it using customer level computers. If you open Task Manager and you see Chrome open when it shouldn't be while your CPU is going nuts means you might have something running through you.

So you're saying that dark web (like .onion sites) exist because of Net Neutrality? Sounds fair but whats to stop it from existing anyways?

no they existed before net neutrality. i'm sure hackers/protesters will find a way to not have to pay for services by having them look like other services. if net neutrality goes threw will this website beable to exist or will i have to pay extra to verizon to see it? and will you have to pay for it to exist?

Honestly I don't think so. It would become VERY complicated to enforce that. With VPNs and DNS its hard to keep people from find a way around that stuff. Only thing I can control is total bandwidth which they do already.

we have to see what happens from here.
i think the isp's are looking for money from the big name websites, facbook, amazon, netfilx, google (FANG!). thats just my theory. i dont think they are looking for money from the consumers, maybe they rape us enough?
