Google Argues Against Net Neutrality

Posted by Soulskill on from the here-is-your-internet-connection-but-don't-use-it-for-internet dept.

An anonymous reader sends this quote from an article at Wired: "In a dramatic about-face on a key internet issue yesterday, Google told the FCC (PDF) that the network neutrality rules Google once championed don't give citizens the right to run servers on their home broadband connections, and that the Google Fiber network is perfectly within its rights to prohibit customers from attaching the legal devices of their choice to its network."

    I believe that when Google was young, as a whole it really did believe in ideals such as "Don't be evil"

    Once they started hiring Microsoft retreads they were done for. And Larry always was a little kinky. Never mind Eric...

    Because you're a fucking moron and too retarded to keep original source. "Oh, we've post-processed the image and marred it with a watermark logo. Let's delete it so if we rebrand in the future with a new logo we can't use these images and have to take all new ones!"
