I'm glad to see the US government starting to stand up a bit more here. Perhaps eventually, they'll stop caring so much about the lobbyists that get so much money from outsourcing to China that they'll actually start pressuring them to actually democratize, too.
I couldn't help but smile a little; even if the Federal Government does tons of things wrong, at least they do get some important things right.
[citation][nom]falchard[/nom]Its a little hypocritical to say Internet should have freedom of information, then ask for net nuetrality that are regulations in place by the FCC that makes ISPs monitor internet usage for illegal activity.[/citation]
I think you entirely misunderstand the whole idea of "net neutrality." As its name suggests, regulations to support it would be those that regulate ISPs and businesses to PREVENT them from restricting access, such as throttling certain types of traffic, or outright blocking some sites. (such as competitors)
In fact, it's opposing the Chinese Communist Party's practices and supporting Net Neutrality are one and the same: The Chinese government seeks to block and restrict the Internet, and so do ISPs. Big corporations are no better than big governments.
