Net Neutrality & Censorship
Finally net-neutrality and Internet censorship is becoming a concern in mainstream political blogs.
If you've never considered the possibility that the federal government might one day tell you what websites you could access, what files you could download, and even what software packages you could install on your computer, it might be time to take a look at "Hands Off the Internet," a site representing a coalition of Internet users who have taken a proactive stance on maintaining "Net Neutrality."Their logo of "Say NO to Government Regulation of the Internet" is complimented with pages of links to articles which further address the subject, a news section, two form letters to contact your legislators to voice your concerns about possible government interference of the Internet, and a chance to sign-up for site updates and further legislative movement as it develops.
I've already written about how net neutrality threatens to kill the golden goose, and anyone who reads here regularly will know that I am no fan of censorware and blacklists.
Right now the threat of censorship and the end of net neutrality means that the "End of Cyberspace is not just a metaphor anymore.
Maybe the the end of the internet has suddenly become a real possibilty.
