‘WeRateDogs’ Owner Realizes Net Neutrality Killer Ajit Pai Follows Him On Twitter, Gives Him A Taste Of His Own Medicine

ADVERTISEMENT

Just in case you missed it, let us use this time to remind you of the awesomeness of We Rate Dogs. Not only does it provide hours of lighthearted, high quality doggy-related laughs, now they are helping fight the good fight for net neutrality too.

Matt Nelson, AKA The Dogfather, had apparently noticed that FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, a strong proponent of a rule change that would threaten net neutrality as we know it, was following and retweeting from one of his Twitter accounts, Thoughts Of Dog.

Using the opportunity to make his point after asking for trolling advice from his followers, Nelson outlined a premium payment scheme available for Pai to purchase if he wishes to continue receiving his daily pupdates, and in the process neatly illustrated the potential future for many of us if net neutrality rules are successfully repealed.

Critics of Pai’s planned changes have warned that ISP’s may begin to offer packaged internet plans, with websites offered in bundles much the same way as cable companies offer TV channels. As well as costing the consumer more in the long run, it also opens up concerns regarding censorship and increasing centralised control of the internet. None of this really works out for the majority of us who like our internet open and free does it?

As far as intelligent trolling goes, we here at Bored Panda think it’s a pretty good effort. 17/10.

Matt Nelson, founder of We Rate Dogs, saw that Mr. Pai followed his page so he asked for help on how to troll him

Thank goodness the Internet has sustained despite commercial, national and whatever interests having tried to undermine its very pillars. All those who oppose such actions deserve kudos!

Let's hope he takes it well and realised how important freedom is, over money!

The money he will get from it will buy whatever freedom he wants for himself. Meanwhile the rest of us are screwed.

Could you just add Ajit to one of the kennels and charge him a monthly fee to get out?

Pai stated his argument against net neutrality enforcement rules to be only about focusing on fixing actual anti-competitive behavior that Internet providers show as opposed to just “regulating against hypothetical harms".

The government is staying out of regulating the internet.... That is a good thing, less government control. Net Neutrality is a scare tactic that worked 2 yrs ago... If all you peeps live under a rock, AT&T is going to have 5g LTE internet that runs through the electric lines with 80% coverage by 2020. This is replacing the old infrastructure. 1 gig upload and 3 mil sec latency for an average customer. These are crazy numbers, they got speeds up to 7 gigs per sec... Internet is only going to get faster and faster, and if the customer is not happy with the provider, you have the right to switch... God bless Capitalism. AT&T is calling it Airgig.... It's a big deal... check it out

Nope. To pretty much everything you said. Your technology info may be correct, but your Capitalism speech shows you obviously live under a rock. It may have been what drove some great changes in the past, but in the world today, giant corps control what they want using money. They tie, bond and gag the world, and advancement all in the name of the mighty profit. Get it, Profit. Hehe

"This is FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and he wants to change the internet as we know it" No, not really. He just wants to go back to the way it was before the FCC, a group of unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats, implemented a big government solution to a problem that didn't exist in 2015. The 'net was doing just fine over the decades it operated with only a light touch of regulation from Los Federales.

This is clearly one of those sicko roo-sky bots, spouting lies and inanity (ISPs NEVER tried to tier or control the flow of network packets...right. I've got this really nice bridge I think you'd like...). It should be ignored.
