The internet is beautiful, the encyclopedia of the world, free and creative we can’t loose it. This is a very very important discussion. We can not let these Cable and Telephone companies limit our internet access & content. The internet is one of the most important communication tools that exists today, to limit content to ISP’s (Internet Service Providers) or even under the control of the Government is absolutely the most ridiculous idea ever.
The internet is one of the few ways for people to easily publish ideas, seek alternative news sources, communicate with one another, and to create etc. Regulating the internet will cut the small guy out, the guy we hardly hear from at all because he has not enough money to communicate with his own documentaries and television broadcasts, what if a guy had an idea so strong, like strong enough to create world peace, fix world hunger etc etc, but had no means to communicate his idea.
Allowing the internet to consist of only the big man (Yahoo, Google, Myspace, Hulu++) would be horrible, like driving around a suburb passing McDonalds & Wal-Marts every couple of miles. Alternative thoughts, news, businesses, and ideas would be severely hurt and all that would be left would be a larger ‘television cable system’ covered head to toe in Advertisements and pushing their views on you (Your Health, Religion, Finances, Politics etc). We cannot let this happen, and they are pushing it pretty hard, rumors state that we may see very large changes around 2012.
Isn’t it bad enough we let the Fed & our Government bailout these Giant companies? Wasting loads and loads of money? What happened to, you’re business couldn’t cut it, so it’s done? That’s what happens to small businesses everyday. The corporate take over, this is RIDICULOUS, Get active, tell them to Fuck off, write your politicians, educate yourself on the issue, spread the word, and watch your backs.
