Net-neutrality


I think we should keep neutrality for the the Internet, but it needs to have some sort of regulation. Since the beginning of the Internet, every time we log on,we are completely oblivious to the numerous content on line. This is where the companies and government come in, companies such as Time Warner use a specific broadband connection that completely blocks out any content that does not pertain to Time Warner. The government is wanting to pass legislature on regulating the content found on the web.

Personally, if you buy the Internet, if automatically are aware of the dangers and the content on the Internet. So, I think that the government doesn't really need to get involved at all. As for the business stand point, I can understand why they went to the specialized broadband connections, they want money. But they shouldn't block all content. The purpose of the internet is so it could be free for all to use, regardless of what the content is. However, I do agree that the Internet does need some sort of monitoring of the content, but it is the responsibility to the person posting the information to control what is being posted.
