I see no reason why anyone would be against it...well, no reason why any average consumer would be against it.
Why is the right, many poor people who would be negatively affected by its removal, many people who enjoy Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, etc who would have to pay more for it, want it done away with?
What am I missing here?
Or, is this just another "BOO OBAMA, he is the devil, we need to change everything he did just because!!!!"?
We were raised in public schools???? I mean, that's the world we're comfortable with. teacher knows best, teacher makes the rules. We stay in the group. We do stuff. This is our life. Don't mess it up.
Okay, so that's the reason why everyone wants hall monitors on the 'net.
That's not me.
I am appalled that a few rich dudes own Google and all the other stuff that makes search engines work.... sorta.... though I suspect them of being bought off by the highest bidders for the top of the line in search results. I mean, yeah, people try to sell me assurances I could be on the first page of search results, for a price.
I need to make my own fortune, folks. Here's my pitch: an entirely new net. I'll call it Anarchnet. I'll sell a little radio receiver tuned to my illegal secure frequency variator, hijack the satellites and local transponder units so you pay for nothing but my variator, reasonably priced of course at $100. Nobody will know where you are or who you are. The Fed spy agencies will just have a whole shipload (misspelled for the JFC "moderators"/conversational counselors/whateverthehellauthoritarianoverlords there are, of course)
of chatter flying by God knows where to or from.....
Of course, as Andrew Wilkow was so persuasively arguing yesterday, I realize anyone with a new system calling themselves anarchist are of course liars. Every anarchist out there wants his "archy" overlording the world. So maybe I'll just call mine the Altnet. YeaH, THAT'S THE TICKET. As in alternative net(s).
srs, we need to be one step ahead of the Nazis. God only knows what some bureaucrat will decide is good for us.
But until some dude in Silicon Valley stops huffing on his joint and actually does it, I guess it won't happen, because I'm plowing some fields, this year, really.
