RE: Net Neutrality ELI5!

Thanks for post.
I can see good and bad in either option.
I wonder about selling off control of the DNS stuff.
The Twatter control stuff on 18th Dec will cause a meltdown IMHO
the FB censor ship is bad
The "flagging" on steem sucks...(if you don't 'like' something, just move on IMHO - 'censorship' is not the domain of dominant whales IMHO)

I definitely don't want gov or big business running MY / OUR internet.

I'm interested to see where this goes:

Might be good timing.

Sort:  

You know coercion is not a long term winning strategy. You know it leads to nukes and nuclear war and that sort of things, which is not exactly the most rosy things.

So you can kind of understand why I don't support anything coercive. The rest is self-explanatory.

As much as people hate big corporations, the government is a much bigger monopoly.

So anyone who is against monopolies should look at the coercive regulations that the government imposes.

As I said, I'm not sure re the net.
It needs to be self regulated IMHO.
I don't like the google / FB / twitter "management" styles (and they maybe CIA anyhow)
I also don't like governments either - I have yet to find one that represents the people rather than themselves. Maybe I'm cynical? or just old?

Hence I'm interested in what Kim is planning.
It might get us back to a net concept that I remember from 80's....when http was just being developed
