| I'm Brian Fung, a Washington Post reporter covering net neutrality. AMA! Posted: 05 Jul 2017 10:38 AM PDT Hey everyone! I'm Brian Fung, a reporter with The Washington Post. I've been covering technology since 2013 (and the fight over net neutrality for what feels like even longer). If you're new to this conversation, net neutrality is the notion that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by your ISP and not arbitrarily sped up or slowed down to suit its business interests. Right now, FCC rules mandating net neutrality that were passed in 2015 are set to be rolled back by the same agency, over accusations that the regulations are overly burdensome for industry. The outcome of this fight is going to have big implications for how we all pay for and experience the Internet on a day-to-day basis. For more, ask me anything — or follow me on twitter or facebook. Proof: tweet EDIT: Here we go! I'll be sticking around answering questions for a while. UPDATE, 4:40 p.m. ET: Thanks for all the thoughtful questions, y'all! I'm gonna take a break now, but I'll check back in again a little later tonight. Hopefully I was able to clarify what's often a complex topic. submitted by /u/b_fung [link] [comments] |
