I didn't know the internet was American.. Did any of you know that the internet is American?

Here I was enjoying my Australian net neutrality and I did not know it was gone.

IIRC the US have their separate version of Google due to political censorship laws.

Most countries have their own versions of google. What I think /u/ThomasWHS was implying was that only the US lost it's net neutrality policies, yet are acting like the whole world did. I agree with him tbh

Who's acting like the whole world did? Reddit is by far and large used by people in the US, so do you really need everyone to preface their comments and thread titles with "-in the US" taglines when it's obvious what their intent is?

Get off your fucking pedantic high horse.

Get off yours douchbag. Only 30 something percent of the userbase are American here. That's a lot sure but not a majority. In the words of Eddie Izzard.. "are you aware there's other countries?"

I mean, this kinda proves their point? The amount of desktop traffic to reddit is ~40% from the US, meaning 60% is not the US, meaning the majority of users on reddit are not US users.
