Randomly surfing the Internet has brought yet another topic into my view which i had no idea was even an issue.... Internet freedom. Apparently some BIG companies are spending millions each year to lobby congress to impose laws on the Internet. These laws, if put into place, would allow major companies like AT&T, Verizon, Comcast (and many others) to control what their paying customers can and can't access on the web. They want to decide which web sites load fast, slow, or won't load at all. With these laws in place the big companies could tax content providers. This would reinforce their own search engines and sites, while slowing down or completely blocking their competitors. The internet has always been about innovation and basic freedoms, but if these laws pass all this will come to an end. Please visit this site to learn how you can help protect network neutrality!
