Net neutrality

Ok, I have been listening to the baloney going back and forth about "net neutrality".
The biggest thing missing from this discussion is all the tax money the telecoms took to "support communities" when the internet was taking off . All kinds of community grants, subsidies, right of ways for access all to "help get us all wired".
Now that we are all wired so to speak the telecoms want to hold us hostage by charging premiums for infrastructure we subsidized! does anyone else find this ridiculous?
someone has to take the heads of these corporations and break it down to them is ways they can understand like if you buy a lot , and build a house, and pave a driveway to your house, can the local snow plow operator put a toll booth at the end of your driveway?
 because that is exactly what they want to do to us. I have no problem with corporate profits , but as you all know I have a problem with BS. and greed . that is exactly the category this falls under

Over the Labor day weekend the "BIG" news was how hackers got into famous female celebrity's Icloud © accounts.

  Ok lets start at the beginning of this stupidity,
-these people know they are celebrities
-they know hackers and low lifes would love naked pictures of them
-they have to be at least moderately intelligent to get to the levels they are at
-there have been other cases of people hacking cell phones for naked pictures

So we have reasonably intelligent   people who take naked pictures of themselves on their cell phones, upload them to the cloud, and when they get hacked they go crying all the way to the bank with their free publicity.

Sorry if you are stupid enough to take naked pictures on your cell phone , don't cry that they ended up in the public eye. If you want that stuff private, use a camera and keep it stored offline. This is coming from someone who isn't an internet security expert, but you cant hack something that isn't online or connected to the internet.

I personally do not have naked pictures of myself (lucky you) but if I did, you can bet I would not sore them on my computer, in case someone hacked my router or sent me an email with a virus giving them access to my computer. COMMON SENSE is not that common, so lets drop the drama about these people who put themselves in the public eye, and left their pictures in online storage where anyone with the time and effort could hack into them, lets remember locks only keep honest people honest, the real determined criminals will always find a way in.
