Net Neutrality was recently repealed, but most people do not actually know nor understand what that means. So Burger King took upon themselves to explain, with a Whopper.
Last December, the FCC repealed net neutrality which used to regulate businesses that provide internet access to consumers. The main consequence is that Internet providers are no longer obliged to treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by the user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication. In a few words, your provider is now legally allowed to charge you more for better internet speed or higher-quality service. It sucks. But what is worse is that most people don’t understand the consequences.
So Burger King decided to step in and explain Net Neutrality to its customers, in a way that was easier for them to understand: with a Whopper.
The company introduced different price levels for different speeds of service – a.k.a. MBPS: making burgers per second. You could still get your favourite sandwich fast, but you would have to pay a premium. Otherwise, you had to wait… for long.
Of course, customers weren’t happy and some even got aggressive. But in the end, all understood why net neutrality was important and a cause to fight for.
Because yes, the Internet should be like the Whopper: the same for everyone.
