RE: Burger King launches powerful Net Neutrality Campaign

in #netneutrality7 years ago (edited)

I have done a complete 180 on this topic.. I really did have to think about it, it was not obvious. Jeffery Tucker spends enough time on the topic and addressed my concerns while adding clarity to the topic. I really like James Corbett too, I watch everything he produces..

No thanks, I gave up fast food a long time ago.

I agree. the fight for net neutrality is a paradox. Govt is corrupt and got rid of net neutrality, so we need government (who is corrupt) to regulate the internet. lol.

Net Neutrality isn't perfect, it puts control into the Government which has been proven to not give a shit time and time again, but if Internet Service Providers have free reign, they will do far more damage.

If lack of Net Neutrality allowed competition, I'd be all for it, but the Internet Service Providers have put laws in place via lobbyists that prevent anyone from competing with them. Now they will have no competition and free reign to manipulate what anyone has access and who can succeed by pushing down anyone that they don't agree with or doesn't pay them enough.

Yea, it ain't perfect, I see your concern. At some point people have to wake up to the legality of the laws them-selfs.. It ends when you can't find juries to convict on non-violent crimes. If it really did snow ball, it would be a good reason to try and move to p2p networks finally.

The ISPs are monopolies and have this control because of the government. They have melded with the state to create barriers to entry which are designed to stifle their competition. It is the opposite of a free market.
