Censorship isn’t the only concern. The NSA and Big Brother are as big a concern if not bigger in my opinion. Of course, a private company Big Brother (Google??) isn’t that much better. But it’s easier to escape a private company than it is to escape the government, especially if you’re just a normal guy and not being specifically targeted.
- kadenshep 9y ago>But it’s easier to escape a private company than it is to escape the government I find this statement suspect in the current U.S. landscape.
- s73ver_ 9y agoProve that your concern somehow is more real under Net Neutrality than without. Seriously. I am sick of this lie being tossed around. Did you completely forget the NSA just setting up shop inside AT&T's switch room? What about Net Neutrality or the lack thereof would change any of that?
- DougN7 9y agoI’m all for net neutrality. I’m not for the government being everyone’s ISP as was mentioned. NSA in an AT&T closet should not be happening. It would be the default situation for everyone if we all had government ISP.
- s73ver_ 9y agoI fail to see any reason why, or any reason that a municipal ISP would somehow be easier for the NSA to operate. However, they are far more responsive to customers, and provide better service than the incumbent private ISPs.
