I couldn’t see that, at all. What I saw was supporting Free Speech... (in a technical manner) in that all

You are crazy. This is what Carly Fiorina said in the video link I gave you. It's the same video of Fiorino's face plastered on the top of FR threads you see.


Question: How do you think the World Wide Web (WWW)/Internet should be governed or should it be regulated?

Fiorina: We need to acknowledge the WWW and the Internet cannot be forever a sphere apart. The World Wide Web cannot be forever the wild wild west. The online world would begin to be more and more regulated.



This viewpoint expressed by Fiorino is clearly anti-free speech.

No, it’s not anti-free speech in terms of protecting all speech so that nothing is restricted on the basis of content. That’s what is being talked about, in terms of Net Neutrality. It’s the preserving of any speech (technically speaking, in terms of the packets and not restricting it either from “source” or by “content” ... all speech (i.e., Internet information) is allowed to go through, is not restricted and is treated the same. That’s why I went back to get the whole thing and I think you’ve got a misunderstanding of the government regulating — thinking that it means they (the government) will restrict you — when what is going on is that the government will keep anyone else from restricting you, giving you a completely level playing field — your content is the same as the next guy’s content, and no matter where your source is (no matter where you put up your website, in other words) everyone will have the same access to your website as the next person (no restrictions on accessing your website).
