If you think the model that China and north Korea use to limit information via the internet is a good thing.
Feb 26th is the deadline where our government is to pass a bill for regulating the internet.
I'm not one much for politics, but I think this is more than that.
If you disagree here's the link for a petition telling congress just that.

That article is wrong.
What the current American Executive branch wants is net neutrality.
It means that all internet should be treated equally.
Without it cell phone, cable, satellite internet providers can decide what you can access on their internet service.
It would be like going to seven different libraries.
Each with the same number and selection or materials.
But the library gets to decide what you can borrow.
When you can borrow.
How long you can borrow.
So making the internet a utility is a good thing actually.


There is another side to this story.

Untrue. My cell phone provider has never restricted what I can access and read or view on the internet.
"Net neutrality" and being treated equally is the exact opposite of our capitalist society.
Let's not forget what it used to be like when phones were a utility 20 years ago. Practically no innovation
Didn't like your bill or provider? Then you did without. No choice on switching to another company like we can today.
If this occurs you think a site like this might still be accessible under government guidance?

I've been to china several times.

Speed test of the wired connection test in my hotel was great.

Most of the normal sites i wanted to view were blocked.

Here is the definitive perspective imo, comedic of course.
