To: a little elbow grease

I support any rule that says that all internet traffic should be treated the same. If you call it “net neutrality” or anything else. I think the technical term is “dumb pipe” if I remember correctly, ISP’s should be a “dumb pipe”. The government should not have control over the content we have access too, and neither should a corporate entity.

Should Google or even AT&T or Verizon have control over what opinions we are able to express or read?

If AT&T has a deal with Home Depot, for example, should they be able to block access to the Lowe’s website?

Does net neutrality give certain people control over the internet, or does it prevent anyone from having that type of control?

I think all internet traffic should be treated equally, regardless of content, in that whatever parts of it we the people want access to, we should have that.

That’s just my opinion. Maybe a broken clock is right twice a day, or maybe I’m misunderstanding what net neutrality is, but I absolutely think that nobody, be it the government or an ISP, should have control over what we can access on the internet.

Your thoughts are appreciated. You obviously have given the subject much intelligent consideration.

Let's hope things with the internet work out for the better.
