Google has not only taken a stance on Net Neutrality (and taken the right stance), they are even encouraging their users to take political action. Check it out.
Of course, it would have been nice if they did this, and deployed a widespread education campaign, many many months ago.
In fact, the conspiracy theory side of me thinks that they don’t want Net Neutrality to be maintained, but they want to go down in history as being the good guy when the battle was being fought, even though, whoops, now they are profitting from their synthetic ability to fragment a commodity market.
The Net Neutrality bill already died yesterday in the House.
I’m posting this throughout the internet to help bring awareness up on the bill passed this last thursday on net neurtrality. The internet as we have grown to love and understand is going to change if we don’t nullify bill HR5252 (it was passed thursday).
There’s another bill, HR5273, which attempts to bring back net neurtrality. Please read here to find more out on this issue.
Contact your local representative to tell them vote “YES” on bill HR5273.
