Hey everyone, PLEASE read this as it is by far the most important blog I have ever written. I don’t wish to come across as a fanatic, but for this particular issue, I am one. I hope you will be as well after you hear what I have to say. This is about doing your part to Save the Internet.
I sincerely believe that the Internet is humanity’s single biggest resource. It is bigger than human beings, bigger than corporations, bigger than even countries. The Internet binds the entire world together in a way never before seen.
It is not the right of any individual, corporation, government, or entity of any kind to stifle the freedom of the Internet.
Big phone and cable companies are trying to get rid of Network Neutrality, the fundamental principle that prevents them from discriminating against your favorite Web sites and services.
Unless we speak out to our members of Congress they could move to allow large telephone and cable companies to control what you do, where you go and what you watch online.
Ultimately, because of the power of the Internet, those who are allowed to control the Internet will have the power to shape the future of humanity. Think about it. Culture, commercial enterprise, freedom of speech, religion, politics. All of these things can be controlled with the Internet. Those who seek control do so according to their own desires and lusts, NOT what is in humanity’s best interests.
This is not a difficult issue. Nor is it to be taken lightly. Please, help protect the Internet, which has transcended national borders and pushed humanity to its golden age.
Visit this website, sign their petition, and send a letter to congress (they make it real easy with a simple form). The world needs your help to keep the Internet free.

I’ve been going after youtube pretty hard lately. might wanna check it out.
youtube/google and myspace/newscorp are trying to privatize the internet and turn our internet into channels like television.
I tend to disagree with your claims as far as Google is concerned. I believe Google is a great company that is doing a lot of good work that makes the Internet MORE free, not less free. Sure, they are an enterprise and they have their own goals which involve money, this is true of nearly every website. However, to me, they do not seem to be willing to trample on freedom to achieve these goals.
I definitely agree with Newscorp however, they are really doing their best to eliminate our rights.
