Network Neutrality Is Law In Chile
An anonymous reader writes "Chile is the first country of the world to guarantee by law the principle of network neutrality, according to the Teleccomunications Market Comission's Blog from Spain. The official newspaper of the Chilean Republic published yesterday a Law that guarantees that any Internet user will be able to use, send, receive or offer any content, applications or legal services over the Internet, without arbitrary or discriminatory blocking."
They do teach poor geography. The rest of the world knows that there's ONE continent called America, that has 3 different sections: North America, Central America and South America. US people like to join together central and south america and call it Latin America, but that's only them.
You should complain to whoever taught your geography and history teachers. North America is on a separate continental plate from that of South America. Central America is partially on the North American Plate, and partially on the smaller Caribbean Plate, which is believed to have formed from either the Pacific or the Atlantic. Trying to make them into one continent? Doesn't work, because they're NOT!
In addition, the term Latin America? Created by LATIN AMERICANS! Yes, they did!
The rest of us know geography. If you look at wikipedia, the english section refers America as the US, while the spanish section shows you America as the ONE continent.
This is not an accurate description, because they're both actually disambiguation pages, as are those of many of the other language's Wikipedia pages.
Is a cultural difference, but it hurt us non US citizens in the way that we feel americans, but not in the way the US thinks about it. It feels like they robbed us of our continent's name.
And your responses feel like you're obsessed with proving Americans wrong, and just being spiteful because you're yet another Anti-American.
