If Net Neutrality Is Repealed On December 14, 2017: Get Ready to Repeal the Trump Administration on November 3, 2020
If Trump Wants Re-election in 2020, He Will Have to Stop the Repeal of Net Neutrality One of the few political items that has bipartisan support is Net Neutrality. Only money-hungry, greedy, corporate goons support the repeal of the laws to protect a balanced Internet. Even then, most of those goons have to understand the negative impact that will occur if the guidelines are removed following the vote on December 14. Furthermore, if the Trump administration is looking to obtain a win in the 2020 presidential election, repealing Net Neutrality will only decrease their chances to acquire votes. In a

YouTube has Not Made a Profit, but Musicians Want More Money from the Streaming Music Service
YouTube is in hot water over their streaming music service with musicians looking to obtain more money for their content. Personally, I also want YouTube to start paying more for content. YouTube does provide a free server to upload data for their users. This is one of the many tradeoffs that major media outlets overlook when covering this debate. Another tradeoff is the search engine connected to the content. As a media producer that runs my own website, I completely understand the cost in providing server space for millions of users. That cost should be far more transparent. YouTube
