    This is true, but also that few giant corporations are already in control of the internet. We *should* mobilize to save what remains of the open internet without forgetting it’s already dead, and needs resurrection—not just staving off new threats.https://twitter.com/funder/status/933044402074898437 …

    Net neutrality is the basis of a free and open internet. Without it, giant corporations will be in control—not you. Tell @AjitPaiFCC to stop this un-American attempt to infringe on our freedoms. So Trumpian. #Resist #SaveNetNeutrality #NetNeutrality https://www.wired.com/story/why-net-neutrality-matters-even-in-the-age-of-oligopoly …

        Saving TCP/IP scale neutrality is great, and important. But that’s merely the conditions under which we live to fight another day for an internet optimized for something else besides harvesting our attention and data.

        Remember something I’ve been arguing for years: the 21st century fight isn’t over speech, it’s over control of our attention and manipulated persuasion—and surveillance is a corollary, not the end-goal.

        Because we don’t have to be naive and shallow in our thinking? Both issues are real, and ignoring either is not smart. https://twitter.com/dontcallmepoc/status/933345344045412352 …

        Also ending Net Neutrality would greatly empower Facebook. They’d easily buy their lane, and that would be that. Google would go even more “amp.”

        Thinking of only one side of the issue (fake news and manipulation OR giant platform power) is not going to help address either. (Ironically, simplistic outrage is good for playing to get likes and retweets).

        “Frosty Bureaucrat”, we face a world that may destabilize into more and large scale misery, oppression and deaths—and social media fake content is already fueling ethnic cleansing. I don’t care that you don’t care. I care. https://twitter.com/dontcallmepoc/status/933356516362670081 …

        Agreed. Let's hope this is a wake up call. We need a level playing field and opportunities for free exchange, ability to hear all voices.

        Thank you for the clear, succinct argument for the need to see the bigger picture. Others have gone for edgy "net neutrality is already dead" takes which grab attention but are obtuse & unhelpful. This is why your advocacy & book rock </fanletter>

        Your point is most beautifully made by the fact that we can have no idea whether discussion of #netneutrality is being surveilled/controlled on the networks we use. 🦋
