S.J. Res. 6, the "anti-net neutrality" bill was defeated in the Senate yesterday, in a purely partisan vote. Democrats and independents against; Republicans for. Who was right?
answer:Democrats and Independents were right. The Internet was developed by public funding and is in the public commons. It is a vital resource to unite the world and for ideas to be debated and considered by all. ISPs and cellphone providers can individually deal with ways to charge heavy users of bandwidth. But they should not be allowed to throttle down or exclude all content save that which they personally profit from. Once more, Republicans align with the corporate moguls that fund them, and against the 99%. Guess who are really the class warriors.
