Blog Entry The Socratic debate: Whose internet is it anyway?
by Pranesh Prakash — published Nov 18, 2014 — last modified Dec 09, 2014 01:35 PM — filed under: ,
In the US, President Obama recently spoke out on the seemingly arcane topic of net neutrality. What is more astounding is that the popular satire news show host John Oliver spent a 13-minute segment talking about it in June, telling Internet trolls to “focus your indiscriminate rage in a useful direction” by visiting the US Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) website and submitting comments on its weak draft proposal on net neutrality.
