All you people here from a year or two ago arguing that "we need to put the government in charge of the internet to prevent corporations from censoring our websites" are now responsible for the Stop Online Piracy Act. The worst case of internet censorship we have ever had. The corporations never censored anything but you were so afraid of what MIGHT happen that you put the government in charge. Now we have SOPA to worry about thanks to you.
Next time be more careful.

How about just forcing companies to be transparent, so consumers know what is being blocked or slowed down. An independent web site that generates a report, like when you check your internet speed. Then consumers can make an informed decision on who they want to buy from.

@drshlotzkin Net neutrality has been in place since the beginning. This video isn't great, and doesn't explain it well. As it stands now, a small business can set up a website, and just pay their host to host it. If we drop net neutrality, they'll have to make an expensive deal with every ISP, if they want that ISP's customers to be able to view the site. It'll crush small businesses, and restrict what people can view.

So what if you can use a computer at a library? You can't use it all day, and there are certain sites they probably wont' let you on.
