ACLU Study Wary of Broadband Providers

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the lets-proxy-all-our-users dept.

An anonymous reader says "The ACLU recently had a study done that suggests that broadband access is a threat to internet freedom. Their study focuses on the control available to broadband providers who don't have to deal with the same level of competition or regulation as ISP providers. The result is the ability to radically control internet access combined with the omnipresent corporate incentive for profit, whatever the cost to free speech."

  1. Freedom? by dada21 · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    Our Constitution and Bill of Rights guarantees us freedom from government trampling on our rights.

    Individuals, corporations, etc have the freedom to do what they please to do, and the market and consumers will decide if they can deal with those issues.

    The ACLU are a bunch of morons, all they do is advance socialists race-balancing theories, not protect freedom.

    The only organization that actually DEFENDS freedom is the Institute for Justice.

    Argh.
