American Samizdat

Sunday, August 15, 2010. *


Rep. Alan Grayson shocked his passionate followers in the progressive online community this week when he aligned himself with the telecom industry and pressured the Federal Communications Commission not to write regulations protecting the principle of net neutrality.




This reminds me of the Cold War years when Radio Free Europe stood between Soviet signal jammers and the Eastern Bloc's vast captive audience, struggling to tune into unfiltered news from the putative "free world"....

When the Web is sold to the highest bidder, who will step up to support Internet Free North America? ~Samuel
