Net Neutrality: William Maldonado

When Tom Wheeler classified  broadband internet service as a utility letting our internet service providers know that just because they provide the public with internet service they do not have the right to control what we see or affect the speeds of our service, I couldn’t help but let smirk. The reason I smirked is because finally we making big companies get off their high horse, also because many people as I believe that the internet is one of our last outlets to truly express ourselves without limitation. Another person I believe would have also smirked is Aaron Swartz. The reason I believe he would have smirked is because as an internet innovator he would’ve appreciated this win against the big man. What he did for the internet community and for the people was very admirable. It is because of people like him that other people have the guts to stand up and fight for our rights, and we need that now because now there is more threats towards our one of our last outlets to be truly free. The internet is being attacked with CISPA once again. What CISPA does is that it allows for government agencies to watch us as we go about our daily lives using the internet without even letting you know and frankly I don’t even let my family watch me like a hawk as I go about my daily internet use, so why would I let the government do it for a profit.
