Re: net neutrality

[soldatsasha]

The thing is, those ISPs are owned by megacorporations. The same tiny incestuous set of companies that own fucking everything. There's no need for state censorship, because the same businesses that have bought our govt own the ISPs and the social media platforms like tumblr.

Think how hard it is to get solid reliable info about things. How hard it can already be for people to sift through mountains of conflicting research (often biased and scientifically shitty), to get good data when half of it's hidden behind paywalls or buried in some univerity's password-locked internet archives.

And now imagine that you're researching whatever the fuck you want. War in the Middle East. Whether milk causes cancer. Superhero movies that aren't Marvel. Whatever. But your ISP owns half the country's dairy production, has a long-standing trade deal with Raytheon, oh and also they're partnered with Disney and it's subsidiaries.

And now you find yourself in a position where you don't know what information you can trust, what news sources you could turn to. And when you try to look up general information, maybe some of the websites are blocked, or they simply don't load, or you never even got to see them because that negative perspective was bad for business.

That's true, it's another negative consequence. Though the last bit is pretty much everything I've already been saying.

People who fear big government see big corporations as benign and it blows my mind.
