Net neutrality
| posted by Vivian WagnerToday in my journalism ethics class, I talked with the students about net neutrality. Most of them hadn't heard of it, so I showed them a couple of YouTube videos, including one produced by SavetheInternet.com. In the discussion afterwards, some of them seemed surprised that the freedoms of the internet might someday disappear, without legal and political protection for net neutrality. They've been raised on the net, and it seems a fact of life, just the air they breathe. The potential downsides of the intersection of digital freedoms and corporate control had never occurred to them.
