“firestorm of controversy would… be unleashed if a major network owner embarked on a systematic campaign of censorship on its network.”

Good job Adam, you have firmly convinced me that there exists strong public support for the principle of network neutrality (Gold Star!) Now, why exactly should that principle, which you have just documented is popular, not be enacted into law?

One thing you need to address is that you assume that a violation of net neutrality would be quickly detected, and that is not at all a given. It is conceivable that there exists forms of network neutrality that would not be quickly detected, and, if that were to happen shortly before, say a major election in which the internet plays a role as a public forum, that those who could cause the outcome of the election to be affected.

This is a problem that government has a clear duty to protect society from.

Pardon me but reading that story sounds like one of the many rumors and hypes that engulf the net that are sort of created to cause public unrest and worry. To help feed the Paranoia machine..

I would disagree. And a strong support for my thoughts is for example gmail - look how they ask you to never delete anything. Very alarming ...what if they gather all date they can , every possible way and use it agaisnt our will...for some ...i am scared to think of this, but ..commercial way. And as they say , in every hype there is some truth, same in rumours. So we all have to think twice before acting.
I hope its not true of course.

Technology is going to kill us one day, maybe even in my generation- i hope not though. You're whole life can be on the computer. have you watched The Net with Sandra Bullock? if you haven't I suggest it. It's a great movie. It's a little old but it kind of shows that even back then, our lives were controlled by computers.
