Obama Significantly Revises Technology Positions
method9455 writes "Barack Obama has edited his official website on many issues, including a huge revision on the technology page. Strangely it seems net neutrality is no longer as important as it was a few months ago, and the swaths of detail have been removed and replaced with fairly vague rhetoric. Many technologists were alarmed with the choice of Joe Biden before, and now it appears their fears might have been well founded." Update: 09/22 18:07 GMT by T : Julian Sanchez of Ars Technica passed on a statement from an Obama campaign representative who points out that the changes in wording highlighted by Versionista aren't the whole story, and that more Obama tech-plan details are now available in a PDF, saying "there is absolutely no substantive change to our policy - folks who want more information can click to get our full plan."
and the swaths of detail have been removed and replaced with fairly vague rhetoric
Which gives (rather odd) evidence that even politicians are capable of learning.
Disclaimer: I may add that I do not believe that the outcome of the US-elections will initiate any notable change, some evidence may be the unitedly agreed upon upstream redistribution of money from the (poor) taxpayer to (for short) the rich. Besides, I am not US-citizen and located in Europe.

Republican Troll...should I mod this redundant?
