Corporations Dictate

And the big corporations are shutting it down. Without this freedom, the internet would be more like cable TV; a one-away medium. Which is exactly what the big internet providers like AT&T, Time Warner, Verizon and Comcast want to turn it into. And they can, because all the internet traffic goes through their cables.

They want control over your internet so they can decide what content you have access to, and how much you should pay for putting content online. In other words, the decisions that are now being made by millions of people, will then be made by the big chiefs in corporate boardrooms. What we are talking about here is massive discrimination and censorship, not only economically, but also socially, culturally and even politically.

Right now there’s a huge movement of people urging U.S. Congress to implement net neutrality laws. Meanwhile the big internet providers are quickly misleading consumers on the issue with twisted anti-net neutrality propaganda while they are lobbying intensively to prevent net neutrality laws from passing. AT&T now even does this while publically upholding a temporary pro-net neutrality image.
