Save the Internet : Fighting for Internet Freedom
Save the Internet : Fighting for Internet Freedom
Politics makes strange bedfellows.
MoveOn.org joins with The Christian Coalition....yep, I wrote that right...to soon place a full page ad in the New York Times to fight for internet neutrality. Why? Because internet providers like Comcast, Verizon and AT&T want to get Daddy Govt. to eliminate it. Because killing the principle of internet neutrality will affect the free exchange of ideas for everyone, from Liberal Pussies to Jesus Freaks.
See the ad here. (pdf)
It's bad enough we're bombarded with political and corporate propaganda bullshit at every turn. But when our choice to avoid it or find something better becomes infringed on, then it gets real slimy. Some internet providers want to decide what websites you should access...depending on which site coughs up the most lunchmoney. The free-wheeling wild west internet that we've all come to know and love will be changed significantly if these providers get their way. It's AOL's greatest wet dream.
How could this affect us? Go here.
Do they teach budding execs to how to give wedgies in business school? Apparently so. If a company can't succeed on the price and quality of its product alone, must they fingerfuck the government to squash their competitors in order to limit the people's ability to choose? That's not very free market, is it? Are we, the consumers, being thrown into the lockers by a bunch of huge corporate bullies?

I have heard about this and it's bullshit. Again, all about the dollars and the government's willingness to promote corporations against what's best of the rest of us.
Stop the world, I want to get off!!!
