discussion on whether it actually works or not aside, i thought we’ve kinda agreed that ethically its wrong to treat neurodivergence as a disease to be cured. it’s a cool scientific innovation, if only in mice, but i’m hoping that the chinese state and party spend more time deliberating the ethical question of this technology.

the american FCC no longer enforces net neutrality, so yes in the US ISPs are free to do it. there was a bill being planned by the democrats to bring it back, but we all know how efficient the democrats are at passing things that aren’t military related lmao

net neutrality is the concept that an ISP must offer the same services (like connection speed) to ALL sites. for example, with net neutrality you can’t be charged differently for using whatsapp or instagram than you would discord or something. without it, ISPs are able to charge you different plans for using specific services, like where you can subscribe to having access to some TV channels but have to get a different plan for others. i think the marxist opinion would be that it is necessary, an open internet where everyone can access everything is a good thing for marxists and all people. the anti-net neutrality position is literally just capitalist bootlicking about “but the profits!!!”
