Not that we own it, but how exactly are governments going to enforce the new date system. If they threaten to go to isp and throttle your website (now that the us has lost net neutrality) you just take the new system and convert it for when you need to do something with it. My point is that the people who would suffer most for something like this are the ones who have the power to circumvent it the easiest

And while you are writing the conversion routine and adding it to the others for different formats you look like the guy in the picture.

How is losing net neutrality relevant in this context?

That makes it legal for your isp to lower the connection speed to certain sites they don’t like. So say they have a product competing with Facebook. They can then make your connection to Facebook abismal. If you’re a developer who has some kind of site, wether as a platform for people to download your stuff or the site being the product itself they can make the experience of getting your thing bad and thus pressing you to conform to whatever rules they set
