A liberated Internet will continue to be a reality in your life (and in the lives of your children) if rules like Net Neutrality are in place.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If net neutrality goes away, it will fundamentally change everything about the Internet.
Net neutrality has been in place since the very beginning of the Internet.
The Internet freedom issue we need to focus on is network neutrality.
Net neutrality is the right thing for our democracy, economy, and global competitiveness. And Americans support an open Internet.
Believing we know what makes prosperity work, ignoring the nature of the actual prosperity all around, we change the rules within which the Internet revolution lives. These changes will end the revolution.
It is not inevitable that the Internet will evolve in a manner compatible with democracy.
Look at electricity in human history - it took a few decades for electricity to really revolutionize the American economy. And the Internet will be the same. At some point in the future, we will arrive at a new era of low-hanging fruit.
Net Neutrality - a guiding principle of the Internet since its beginning - means that content is all treated equally.
The only way the Internet will continue to remain the thriving medium it has become today is to keep it under the control of the United States.
Everyone knows that the broadband era will breed a new generation of online services, but this is only half of the story. Like any innovation, broadband will inflict major changes on its environment. It will destroy, once and for all, the egalitarian vision of the Internet.
