#2They're also forcing all adult-oriented content on Tumblr (which isn't limited to porn, although porn makes up the majority of their userbase) behind a logged-in-users-only wall, blocking it from non-Tumblr users and in turn, external search engine results.

#4tl;dr: Verizon owns Yahoo now, so it owns Tumblr too.

#5Net neutrality makes internet more expensive for everybody so Torrent and Netflix users can be subsidized.
It looks right, but it is WRONG to "defend" it using law and force.

Oi, I suppose archiving Tumblr is this weekend's project.

Netflix pays it's bills like everyone else.
Net Neutrality means that if you were to start a compelling competitor to Netflix, as long as your technology was sound enough, and you could keep up with the bandwidth bills, you would be able to offer the service to your customers without any subjective political negotiation with ISPs and entrenched market leaders.

Is archiving a bunch of porn really safe legally? I always had the impression archiving a large number of copyrighted images wasn't.

I want to downvote you because of how intensely I disagree with everything you're saying, but you're saying it nicely so I won't.
Instead - The major concern about losing NN is that instead of just paying for volume of data, I'll also be required to pay based on type and/or source of that data, and that the entities providing the data will also be required to pay based on type and/or destination.
Do you think this concern is not valid? Why? Do you think this concern and there is a better way to address it? What?
If defending it using law is wrong, what would be a right way to defend it?
And if "free market" is part of you answer, can you talk about the handling of last-mile connections?
Finally, I just straight up don't understand what you mean by "defend it using... force". Can you explain?
