Re: All Things Net Neutrality
Good thread Dirtbag! I want to post more about this when I have a little time, but just wanted to comment that I'm also pro net neutrality! This is why I always go back to reminiscing about the good ol' days of the slow, yet more "deregulated" internet of the 1990's. The "Wild West of the World Wide Web". Back then, anything and everything you wanted to look up, you could find. No matter the search engine, no matter the ISP, you could still find whatever it was you were looking for.
This is a result of what happens when things get too commercial. Regulations are bound to happen, censoring is obvious, and if you want access to more information, you have to pay for it! Honestly, in some respects, I'd go back to the old 90's style internet on dial-up speed if it meant knowing that I could have access to information as I did back in the day. I miss having the internet act as more of a "library" of sorts than a shopping mall.
