The Ever-Persistent Threat To Net Neutrality: A Few Thoughts

in internet •  7 years ago 

A congressional solution is the only way to go but sadly I don't think that is happening any time soon, or atleast with the current administration. ISPs are paying huge amounts to senators who are against a free and open internet. Think about this: The internet is being de-anonymised at a rapid rate and we can't do anything about it except hoping that the people we voted for actually use their brains.

The most we can do right now is just talk to our senators. And use VPNs, which are the way to go if you do want a bit of privacy. I mean hey, if they believe that it's okay to sell someone's browsing history to someone else, they probably think that it's okay to axe net neutrality, which they probably will in the future.

Agreed, and awesome article! There really doesn't seem like we can do much about this. Especially since the FCC thinks all those comments were fake... like how the news thinks news is fake, but I digress... It seems most folks just chose to ignore this, considering how many times I've posted to my networks on Facebook and Twitter with no responses. Using VPNs are the only solution at this point, calling senators and hoping they haven't been bribed by the ISPs just yet.
