The nail in the coffin. Not ‘the camel’s nose’.
Marxism is almost always the nail in the coffin. Look it up. I’d provide you with some names of some nations, but I’m sure you’re well versed there.
Let me put it to you this way. Perhaps this will help bridge a gap that we’ve had since day one on net neutrality.
There are already regulations in place that have a handful of basic functions; informational regulations and what not. To put it simply, “net neutrality”(the one we’ve been sold on) already exists, has for a long time.
What these marxists are proposing is social regulations. Controls. Read free press, they don’t hide it behind a thin veneer.
They want to leave their current standing as referee of the game and take over every position on the field, so they can pick winners and losers.
No, I keep hearing the camel's nose metaphor. IIRC, even you have mentioned it.
There are already regulations in place that have a handful of basic functions; informational regulations and what not. To put it simply, “net neutrality”(the one we’ve been sold on) already exists, has for a long time.
I'm with you there, but I want to keep it existing.
What these marxists are proposing is social regulations.
Correct there too. Thus, what they are proposing is not net neutrality.
Remember, early on the likes of Wu weren't even on the radar for the telcos, they were pushing against the likes of Microsoft and Google who rely on net neutrality for their profits. There were literally statements to the effect of "Why should they make so much money over our lines?" It was business vs. business, and the Microsoft camp's interest happened to align with the interest of freedom for the users. Then the telcos through astroturfing and lobbying made it a left/right issue, and the socialists jumped in on the other side, adding their wish lists. Most of what they talk about has zero logical relation to net neutrality.
