Net Neutrality
Iceland Vu
We have over come many difficulties in the past regarding the state of the internet. In 2012, Stop Online Piracy Act(SOPA) and ProtectIP Act(PIPA) were the causes for concern. the vaguely written acts would cause "The bill would also cut off funding by prohibiting payment services from cooperating with infringing sites" and "require the manager of a flea market to shut down the entire market because some of the merchants were selling counterfeit goods" according to forbes.com. An argument to these acts that piracy is good for the industry because it people get their hands on let's say, a TV series, and purchase merchandise because they come to love the characters on the show.
But now we have a huge debacle about accessing whatever website we want. The FCC(federal communications commission) want to regulate how much speed each website gets. for example, an Internet Service Privider(ISP) would have to pay more for their website to run faster because the ISP is controlling the speed of their website. If this sort of thing was to be allowed on the internet, the future of the internet would involve a fee to visit a website.
