Re: Net Neutrality Passed

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with you in the sense that I think icey used the wrong word when they said authority and meant something like 'power'. But on another level, I do think there is an underlying philosophical difference here, in terms of how one conceptualizes the nature and the power of government.

I think many Americans would, almost reflexively, reject the idea that the government is sovereign in the sense that you're using here. I think there's a different concept of authority that's much more specific and grounded and circumscribed and limited. I think it's much more of a republican, constitutional understanding of how sovereignty functions and from what sources power flows. And that doesn't make it wrong and tbh I'd rather be on the American side of this one.

So, you would rather this authority, power, or right to control your internet access was entirely wielded by a commercial enterprise answerable to stockholders and the bottom line than that it be managed in the public interest by an office appointed by a democratically elected government.

And Comcast's or AT&T's freedom to throttle your Internet access is more important to you than your freedom in using the Internet.

Just so we are clear.

Hm? No, I was talking about the general principle, not about my preference in this specific situation. I think it's clearly better to have the government regulate this. But I also think it makes sense to talk about it as an expansion of government power. I don't agree that the government as sovereign possesses that power in potential. That's what I was arguing.
