Wait, isn't it a bit of a stretch saying that John Perry Barlow is against net neutrality by linking to the declaration of independence of cyberspace?
I mean, that seems to advocate against government intervention on the internet, but not specifically net neutrality. Also, I'm pretty sure data caps and stuff like that would be squarely against the principle outlined in the declaration.
Am I just being naive?
- lbotos 9y agoI was surprised by that as well, and the fact that when you go to the sourced EFF site: https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence You get a Net Neutrality warning leads me to believe that it's a tiny bit off the mark. EDIT: I re-read it today, and I think it could be mistaken as anti-NN, but is very much for a free and open internet. In the spirit of the document we'd like to believe we don't need meatspace government to define that, but in a practical sense we absolutely do.
