Net Neutrality

Net Neutrality is a term that refers to the internet being a neutral environment: that is a place where people can freely explore and travel through without barriers or restrictions based on your location or service provider.

I believe Net Neutrality is very important. It is what has allowed the internet the prosperity and expansion we’ve seen – everything from E-bay, to Cnet, to Google; these companies were allowed to freely expand and visitors were allowed to visit whenever and wherever they wanted. Without Net Neutrality, I believe it would be much more difficult for expansion. The internet would be a cumbersome tool and where would the restrictions stop?

I don’t want the internet to become some kind of censored tool like in China – the free exchange of information is so valuable and I think we should do as much as we can to ensure this free exchange to continue.
