I know Google became the poster-child for net neutrality, but why aren't other big internet companies that have shied away from this debate being labeled "evil"?
The agreement text doesn't describe anything that differs from the internet as it is today, it just leaved loopholes to appease Verizon investors and to show the gov't that their not needed, the usual bullshit.
- sigzero 16y agoWhen your motto is "do no evil" people tend to call you on it when you do.
- yanw 16y agoDid they? The agreement have some good point as well as compromises, nothing particularly earth shattering, if you want something different call your senator, not Google.
- sigzero 16y agoI was not coming down either way. I was just stating that if people perceive this as "evil" they are certainly going to call Google on it. Not that I think Google cares.
