Net Neutrality

I am sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but as I am sure many members from the United States have heard, Net Neutrality is on the chopping block. Since this site is being hosted in the US, I am quite concerned that my favorite Mt:G site is going to shut down. Should I start making backups of my decklists now, or are we confident that this amazing site will continue to exist despite these measures?

I wouldn't worry about that. Given ISPs sophistication, i doubt access would be limited any time soon that wasn't trivially easy to work around. Whether NN is ever implemented is at this point hypothetical still, but it's a valid discussion and we will see how the situation evolves.... But, no, access to your content will never be an issue.

I'm not an US citizen. But how could NN affect independant sites like this in the future?

Way I see it: if anything happens, the worst case scenario would be your ISP charging a premium to access "frivolous" sites.
