[dTube] Interview: Net Neutrality Repeal Already Wreaking Havoc

in #news7 years ago


I had the pleasure of interviewing FreePress' CEO Craig Aaron, a top expert on net neutrality. We talked about, in part, the ways in which the recent repeal is already wreaking havoc, and ways we can activate around this issue going forward.

I believe that Steemit and platforms like it WILL play a role if there is to be a reinstatement of internet freedom. What do you think?

Oh come on, that's ridiculous. Look at you spreading all over the internet while complaining about "neutrality". What a joke.

I'm not sure I understand the criticism

yo creo que esta es una iniciativa importante ya que las redes se han vuelto un sin numero de falta de respetos, en cambio aqui es diferente

Very nice post. Interestingly enough I was having a very detailed conversation online with some people regarding exactly this and how misguided they are regarding the control the government would have compared to how much it being repealed allows big businesses to take advantage of its customers.

Thanks for sharing.

Wait a minute... There is such thing as a person who is for the blockchain and also for net neutrality? Conflicting beliefs.

How are those beliefs in conflict?

The blockchain is a decentralized payment protocol that seeks to optimize the price mechanism in lieu of gov't and banks tampering with the current medium of exchange. Net neutrality is a centralized protocol that seeks to set prices and ignore practical aspects for the sake of them. Granted, the blockchain has practical issues, but philosophically it is anarchist.

If the net neutrality you are speaking of adjusts prices or is in any way similar to the "net neutrality" obama introduced, i have to tell you: Its not net neutrality.

That's the one I'm talking about. But are there any versions that are not enforced by the state at the cost of some liberty?

Potentialy it would be and yes, cost some liberty for corporations.
I dont think thats illegitimate, if you open a postal service, we also prohibit you from reading the letters you deliver.
Now, the version which actualy was written into law is just ridiculous and essentialy gurantees them local monopolies.
Over here, the government is allowed to step in but didnt yet have to as far as i know, though in the time leading up to the current form some providers were toying around with discriminating between different types of traffic and even scanning your traffic. Essentialy opening your letters.

That's what happens when you give up liberty for "security"... The government takes your security away themselves"to protect you". Also, there is no such thing as corporate liberty. Only human behavior can be restricted... liberty is liberty. And loss of 'corporate liberty' is loss of liberty nonetheless. Finally, the reason that private postal providers don't open letters isn't because of government forbiddance--it's because of customer forbiddance! The real regulatory force in the world.

Thanks for the info, very interesting.

Very good,Ilike pos you

@davidpakman

I agree with you.

It's nice keep a good work..

Im in full support of net neutrality. HOWEVER the US never HAD net neutrality. No, Obama introduced allmost the polar opposite of net neutrality which granted corporations a monopoly to the internet within certain regions.They just called that net neutrality.
