Don't Mess With The Internet

The FCC is trying to gain control over the net using "Net Neutrality" as their in. LEAVE THE INTERNET ALONE! I know there are problems with information available on the net. Some information might even be considered dangerous, of course pornographic, racist, and any other bad thing out there, however this is the beauty of the internet, it is freedom. The freedom to post and say anything a person wants. It no longer puts the power of the press in a few, it puts it in millions. Any regulation by a government agency like the FCC or even worst the United Nations, would hamper the expression of many people. I believe if any regulations are tried that the real hackers, the ones who work for individual rights and freedom of expression will fight to remove any and all restrictions to the flow of information. (Did my filter just turn off?) No I typed it "Hackers".

Most Hackers do not steal data for profit, destroy networks for financial gain, or do anything to cause problems. Most hackers work to improve the environment that they work in, the wold of ones and zeros. They are the people leading the charge in developing most of the shareware or freeware on the net. Open Source products abound and are at times better than commercial products you can buy. I wounder who created most of the Open Source Products?

Call your Senator and Representative and tell them to vote no on Net Neutrality. Also tell the UN to stay out of the Internet.
