Public benefit organizations like Wikipedia already operate by a somewhat different set of tax laws than traditional for profit corporations. This is precisely because governments around the world believe there is high value in organizations other than governments that serve the people with a public good or service.
Why can you not imagine similar carve-outs for non-profits when it comes to communications regulations on the Internet.
- fsniper 12y agoThis is not regulation. Also I'm not against free wikipedia access. I'm against using connection provider power to limit access to any where. If an ISP starts with free wikipedia where would it land then? I believe "You can freely connect wikipedia but you can't use whatsapp or you must reimburse us for the lost sms revenue" is only one step ahead.
