Net Neutrality

Post by Nathaniel »

Hands Off the Internet: The Against Government Regulation of the Internet Site
Save the Internet: The For Government Regulation of the Internet Site

I'm still deciding. On the one hand, I hate the idea of the government having anything to say about the internet.

On the other, the internet is like a highway, and we wouldn't let AT&T own a highway and have the power to set up roadblocks or allow only advertising for certain companies or block exits which lead to a company which didn't want to pay their toll.

What do you guys think?

Please bear in mind that we don't allow politics to be discussed on the board since it causes all kinds of flames.

Carry on... :)
