*this will be a controversial opinion*

Not much

1.There will still be the  FTC(Federal trade commision) , so even if RR is throttled/taken down Rodol can still appeal to them.

2.ISPs  won’t dare to do anything to RR in general as the public backlash would be tremendous , thus competition would  profit from this.

3.It’s highly likely that the congress will not repeal it in the first place.

Besides there will still be VPN services

So in my opinion nothing will happen

<p>I’d like to respond to michal but before I do I do not want a flame war. I truly think we can just express our points in a meaning conversation about an important issue and not have it become a flame war: </p><p>Anyways just a few things: </p><p>1. Congress in under complete republican control (as is the rest of the US government at the moment). Republicans are known to be anti-regulations (hence why the republican FCC voted to kill net neutrality).</p><p>2. I don’t think that ISP’s would get that much backlash from RR being slowed down. Yes RR is a big mod but it’s not quite at American domination… yet.</p><p>3. Right now RR does not make money for Rodol so if a ISP to tells Rodol he has to pay for the “fast lane of internet” (its not really fast) Rodol will have to use his own money for it (I am not commenting on Rodol’s current financial state as I don’t know it and it isn’t appropriate for this). </p><p>I think it is a more of a big deal.</p><p>just my opinion though </p>

I know what you mean (also don’t worry I won’t start a flame war over politics ).As of right now RR is okay (03.01.2018).Even if ISPs  start throttling us Rodol could fight back . After FCC  looses authority over ISPs  , there will still be the FTC  which hopefully will protect us from unfair treatment.”The FTC, though, has a decidedly mixed record when it comes to enforcement in the tech space. On the one hand, as former FTC chair Jon Leibowitz recently noted, the Commission has a robust record vis-à-vis ISPs, holding them accountable to promises made to their customers. That is a very good thing, setting a strong precedent for future action if and when an ISP acts in a truly harmful or anticompetitive manner.”

Also about the backlash I just meant that when ISPs  do start destroying sites like RR , most Americans will likely  protest against it.

Also it’s just a discussion beetwen us and should things go south , I’ll  stop the salt war.(here’s the article I quoted https://www.forbes.com/sites/washingtonbytes/2017/12/15/the-game-is-on-the-ftc-tech-regulation-post-net-neutrality/#1874e034575a )
