Burger King Teaches People About Net Neutrality!steemCreated with Sketch.

in #news7 years ago (edited)

First if you are a person that doesn't know or understand what Net Neutrality is or what it does/did, in a nutshell:

Net Neutrality was a law that was put in place during the Obama administration to help protect you and me the end users as well as small businesses from discriminatory service practices of large telecommunication corporations. So this includes home internet providers as well as cellular providers from part-taking in practices such as throttling (slowing down) internet speeds then making you pay for faster speeds or using the pay to play tactics by allowing larger companies to pay for more bandwidth (speed) to provide their content faster then their competitors, and so on. An A-Hole by the name of Ajit Pai who was appointed the chairman of the FCC he fought to repeal this law and against all of the massive outcry from Americans was successful in doing so in Dec. 2017.

This is a photo of the king mocking Ajit Pai who is in love with a giant reeses's cup mug he carries everywhere, seriously look him up on Instagram or Twitter he's like some kid.

Burger King's lastest PSA campaign "Whopper Neutrality" is aimed at teaching people about Net Neutrality by creating an equivalent scenario within their restaurant using the Whopper. This was done by telling their customers that they now would have to pay for faster service in tiers or "MBPS" (Making Burgers Per Second)

Whopper prices as Follows:

  • A Slow MBPS Whopper........$4.99
  • Fast MBPS Whopper............$12.99
  • Hyperfast MBPS Whopper ...$25.99

Here is the link to Burger Kings Youtube Whopper Neutrality video

Also the link to Burger Kings Save The Net website to find out more about what you can do to make a change.

Let me know what you think about Net Neutrality and or Burger Kings PSA to fight against the repeal.

That's a good idea they could market thru post like everyone else, might have to email them the suggestion.

I recently started advertising on here myself. Most people only use those stupid robots. If people advertised instead of using the robots I think the sbd would rise and we would make more money.

I agree, however it seems like the only way to get your post viewed when your starting out or until you get a following. I spend too much time on a post for no one to ever see it, kinda like everything needs some form of marketing. I'll be checking out your blogs.

Simply a riot to watch people denied their fast food immediately. The "Give it to me now" mentality is in for a tough road ahead if Internet speeds are priced and provided according to the video portrayal.
