In the reading The Politics of Research by Martin there is a clear picture of how researchers are influenced by corporate interests,  government and so on. As a result there is a limit to who quality research is available. Because of the existence of these powerful groups, knowledge become corrupt to the point where it is controlled. Just like in ancient civilizations where the librarians kept and controlled the flow of information and in turn putting a choke on new discoveries, the same thing is happening today. The only difference is that the librarians are now powerful groups and government, who often have the power to dictate the flow of information and what knowledge is shared with citizens. As bad as this may sound, it is not obvious to most because everything is hidden in plain sight and the root all of it is money. Where there is money, there is power; Where there is power, there is control. Until we can find ways to work around the corruption, we- the people will always get the squeeze. The approval of Net Neutrality is a good step in the right direction.
