Act locally. Do you live in Spain? Talk to your legislators about passing strong net neutrality laws like the Netherlands. You have weak net neutrality from the EU, but you can do better.
- franciscop 9y agoSorry I chuckled a bit when thinking about Spanish government listening at all and then acting on some pro-people policy. The Spanish government have relatives in the bigger corporations, it's called "puertas giratoria" (revolving doors), just look at the lists: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerta_giratoria_(pol%C3%ADtica) https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerta_giratoria_(pol%C3%ADtic... . Current government has strong ties with the biggest ISP in Spain (Telefónica/Movistar). Luckily we have something different going on; it's legal to share 3rd party content among people, so Copyright for individuals basically doesn't apply and torrenting is pretty much legal (though you might be taken to court anyway). But Net Neutrality as it depends on the ISP just does not make sense, it's not a matter of whether it's possible or not. Also, people have much more urgent things to fight for; if someone wants to do something about the Internet in Spain the fight is right now around copyright (we're trying not to lose this due to US influence).
