Not sure, I'm pretty worried about this. I wish it wasn't repealed.
This means I may never get back on Scratch again…

net neutrality actually technically isn't gone yet, it still has to go through congress as far as i know. plus there are actually multiple states opposing the repeal so don't lose hope yet.

Exactly. I also read an article about how someone is trying to oppose the repeal.
As far as I can say, still have hope and spread the word!

congress can stop fcc

I don't know if the net neutrality repeal will affect me because I live in australia. Does anyone know if it will?

I highly doubt it will, I think this only happens in America. Not too sure though.

"Everyday Australian internet users are unlikely to be affected directly, but Aussie businesses could be damaged by the changes, Mr Schebesta says.
“Many Australian businesses that are operating internationally rely on hosting and other services from US providers. If the US internet service provider market shrinks because of the rule change, that’s going to have a flow-on effect on those Australian businesses,” he told news.com.au.
“It could impact Australian websites that are trying to target US internet users if ISPs decide to block them.
“It can also impact Australian start-ups as it might limit their ability to afford the costs of being available on ISPs in the US.
“It’s a very anti-competitive move. If it passes, it sets a precedent for other countries to follow.”
But Mr Schebesta said any impact on Aussie internet users would “take a while to flow through, if it happens at all”.
One way it could impact Aussies is if streaming services such as Netflix are forced to pay ISPs more for the internet’s “fast lanes”, which give faster and better access to customers. Any increases in operating costs are likely to be passed on to us." (Copied from here.)

NET NEUTRALITY REPEAL! WILL IT AFFECT SCRATCH?!

Well, no one really knows how ISP's will respond to this and we've got a ways to go before changes start being made. But lots of people are ready to fight back on this already, so I'm personally still hopeful there is time to turn things around! As for Scratch, it seems likely that for-profit media company's will be affected more than non-profit communities like ours. Regardless, we don't plan on going anywhere and will continue to do everything we can to remain accessible to all ^.^ ~ Ceebee

We don't know, since it depends on your ISP. Don't jump to conclusions just yet, as the bill will have to pass congress before anything happens (which it most likely won't).

Yes, since American businesses like Netflix will be charged more, and thus you may have to pay them extra.

Ask your ISP.

Yes, everything in The US will have to abide by the ISPs, if the repeal is put into affect by Congress. This means that every server, computer, phone, and everything else will be affected (directly in The US and indirectly outside of The US). However, it's probably going to make the internet more annoying (more ads to cover the cost of sending these precious bits of information to you (if prices increase, which is highly likely)).

You can use your vote to say NOT IN My NAME

Whoever decided to get rid of this in the first place which can cause corruption should be fired!

I hope it doesn't… The article said something about not charging different amounts/things per user? And we don't pay for our Scratch accounts, so I think we're OK for now…

Okay how is this not a duplicate when mine was for the reason that my post and another post were both related to net nuetrality?
And also all the posts in that thread were made BEFORE net nueatrality's ‘repeal’ (which apparently didn't happen).

Oh no
I never though of this
Please don’t affect Scratch, article 13

Hi there, please don't blockspam or necropost. Anyways, I believe that the time that they were going to repel it has passed, so I don't think you need to worry.
