This sets the wrong anchor point. Most non-technical types will probably see "compromise" and assume some level of fairness, when in reality it's a blow against today's status quo. Going forward, this will make achieving true neutrality more of an uphill battle than ever.
- quanticle 16y agoGoing forward, this will make achieving true neutrality more of an uphill battle than ever. How so? Most change and reform happens incrementally, rather than in a big-bang revolution. Yes, this particular set of rules may not get us to the ideal set of policies for the Internet, but it is an improvement on the current condition. If the new rules are wanting, push for further change.
