While I support efforts to prohibit spam, porn, and
other illegal
activities over the internet, I have this fear that governments
may try
to control the internet in such a way that it interferes
with free
speech. Additionally I fear that business interests may
try to control
it in such a way that I am prohibited from participating
in legal
activities. For instance, if the entertainment industry
attempts to
prohibit downloading large file sizes. I regularly download
large files
as a linux enthusiast and want to continue to do so.
What this means to me is that I am suspicious of government
and large
business interests controlling the internet. |
