[Google] announced a new policy recommendation that would kill the Internet as we know it, if implemented by FCC Chair Julius Genokowski and other policy makers. [...] And they're now asking the public to accept two Internet experiences -- a great experience for the old Internet that will soon cease to exist, and an experience filled with discrimination and lack of a level playing field for the entire future of the Internet.
And another editorial: "Google-Verizon Pact Proves Need for Real Net Neutrality":
Now, Google and Verizon come along like wolves in sheep's clothing--developing a proposal to very narrowly define net neutrality, and with enough built-in intricacy and double-speak to leave the door wide open for industry players to interpret net neutrality to fit their needs. Putting "net neutrality" lipstick on that pig didn't really fool anyone, though, and ultimately Google and Verizon helped the FCC cause for real net neutrality and did the general public a favor by proving why it's needed.
Of course, Blogspot is owned by Google, so this blog is in a bit of a moral predicament if this policy recommendation goes through.
ReplyDeleteLol. It almost seems like Google's slogan "Don't be evil" is kind of a bad joke anymore.
