"Net neutrality allowed me to invent the web without having to ask for permission. In a matter of days, the FCC could vote to reverse #NetNeutrality protections. Call your representatives. Tell them to keep the internet open!"
TBL is a tragic figure. His endorsement of the EME standard this year makes his now standing up for net neutrality seem hollow and hypocritical. Even if the internet remains relatively neutral probably more content will get locked down with EME and I doubt it will be strictly limited to video. A locked down web is not an open space for collaboration and sharing between the world's citizens.
This year I think there has been more soul searching about the future of the internet. What direction should it take? Is the currently situation hopeless and best abandoned to be replaced by something new? The current forces in play seem to be directed on a path towards the destruction of everything we value.
