Anyone who has read any portion of this blog knows I advocate strongly for information transparency. Net neutrality is essential to information transparency. Lee Fang has an article up at The Intercept about how telecoms have 'invested' (capitalist speak) in civil rights groups to persuade them to lobby against their larger interests against net neutrality.
This is another example of the power of the elite to push the economic narrative to their advantage (and profit). It is also more evidence of the importance of information. The power of the elite is derived directly and indirectly from the information they control. To free ourselves of their influence, we must have free access to all this information. Without net neutrality, telecoms control much of our information infrastructure.
