Why should we care about what happens to net neutrality?
Taking the definition previously mentioned into account, I believe that we should care about net neutrality, as the creation of rules to control the web will contribute to the reduction of our freedom of speech and creativity on the web, which in my personal opinion is what makes the web such a brilliant tool of communication.
However some critics affirm that the creation of rules and the fact that we remove net-neutrality will not end our free of speech or creativity in the web, as we will only regulate the web in a way to protect the industry from piracy and stop the hackers to operate effectively.
I see myself forced to agree to that something must be done to stop the piracy and even protect the children from the dangers of the net, is understandable that our first thought is to end the net neutrality but the major question relies on who will be responsible to control the web who will detain the power to control our line of speech or our speed of access.
If to solve the children protection we can use parental controls to stop piracy is not that easy without have a set of rules to control the web but this will be the best way to deal with the situation?
When we have concrete cases like China where the government controls the web and the people don’t have the freedom to post whatever they want, and even if we get a set of rules that not contrary the human rights who will be uncharged of such responsibility and how get rules that go with the will of all cultures.
In conclusion what we can retain is that the net-neutrality is an ideological subject about witch we need to relay since its decision can lead to the end or not of our freedom of expression on the web.
