For several months now I have been seeing tidbits on the Internet about internet regulation, a little something here and a little something there. Some articles have said it’s really bad and others have sought to paint it as the last best hope for man. When anything is supposed to be that “good” for us, I get suspicious. I begin to wonder who it will really be “good” for, us, the unwashed masses, or the One World elitists in Washington who claim they represent us. Usually it ends up being good for them and bad for us and Internet regulation, like Obamacare, is no exception to this rule.
Most of us realize that the Internet is the one remaining source of real information out there that the federal government has not, until now, been able to muzzle. I imagine there are countless thousands like me who get their news off the Internet rather than from the federally-approved and controlled “news” media.
I notice that, on the 26th of this month, the FCC will vote on implementing a new “net neutrality” regulation. That sounds so nice and “neutral” doesn’t it—no sides taken, just a nice neutral approach to all issues and questions, right? Folks, in all honesty, if the feds are running it you have to know it ain’t gonna work out that way. The real aim of this regulation is to neutralize all the information the feds don’t want on the Internet so it will be unavailable to the public.

Look how well govt control of the net works in N.korea and that global champion of human rights China. The nifty thing is not only do these places censor the net but they feed their subjects untruths and sell it as the truth.
ReplyDeleteYes, but in comparison, Vietnam's is relatively free.
