but are people better off or worse? Should fb be forced to subsidize access to competitors?
Does India have an effective internet access monopoly (occasionally a duopoly) ala the us, which is why I supported fcc regulations?
- danielam 12y agoThis. I favor net neutrality, but I think much of the "moral outrage" comes from a combination of paternalism, self-serving attitudes and petty, pampered middle class arrogance and not a discerning realism. Vacuous and self-righteous sloganeering do not impress me. Luxuries are not a given. The question that should be asked (which you bring up) from the position of those who receive the service: does it help or hurt them in the here-and-now? Are they better or worse off, on the whole, than they would have been without the service? I also presume this service is being offered in a relatively free market.
