I'll take large corporations with vested interests over the government. At least those interests are maintaining a profit and answering to the market. I can pick between a few different COMPETING mega-corps (if they are a monopoly, break them up via anti-trust). With the government I will have no choices and I can see them chomping at the bit to take away liberty "for the children."
- pyre 17y agoThe thing is that you're buying into the false dichotomy of the Net Neutrality debate. It's not an all-or-nothing prospect. Rather than framing the question in terms of, "who should control our internet," we should be asking, "how can we fix the current situation." In your post, you make an excellent suggestion, anti-trust. The only issue with that, is that we've proven in recent years that the power of the corporation extends well into the government, and most anti-trust attempts end up as not much more than slaps on the wrist.
