EFF's take on Verizon and Google's Net Neutrality Proposal

Cindy Cohn at the EFF has published an extensive—but easy-to-read—analysis of the positives and negatives in Google and Verizon's 'net neutrality proposal. No, it's not "hot girl quits via whiteboard," but Cindy manages to break down an inherently unsexy issue in language that makes sense for civilians. Also? Unlike HOPA, this story will affect your life, and that of your family, your community, the world around you, for a long time to come. Go have a read.

Can we at least have an audio version narrated by HOPA-girl?

  THat’s a reasonably awesome idea!
- Sagodjur
  
  Wouldn’t an abbreviated white-board presentation be more appropriate?

    Yes, but I would probably be too distracted to actually read the text. And since this is kinda an important message…

Basically they said that they’re all for Net Neutrality as long it’s how they define it.
