That’s my big problem with the telcos. You own the lines, but you don’t own the information in it.

The point here is that they want to, and their attempts to do so must be stopped.

I still think that if those on the right had embraced the net neutrality issue uncorrupted in the beginning instead of following the telco-paid politicians and think tanks, we could have prevented the takeover of the issue by the leftists. Now look what we have, leftists pushing their whole agenda from one side, the telcos pushing theirs from the other, and few people actually looking out for net neutrality anymore.

And you see marxism as the solution?

You can’t point to such a beginning.

Do you really thing that Wu wasn’t always a marxist? That he came to be a big government ‘let’s nationalize their code’ guy later on?

And there really is an argument to make that net neutrality went just before Wu, that it came from free press themselves.

FP created the idea, Wu created the catch phraze. The media did it’s diffusion tactics, to make it seem as if there really was a golden encrusted net neutrality that could be trusted. But there never was.

-————and few people actually looking out for net neutrality anymore.——————

All evidence points to this never being the case. It was always a farce. The media made it look good for a time, which is the only “era of purity” that could at best/realistically be pointed to.
