Could Google Fiber Save Network Neutrality? 230
nmpost writes "Could Google Fiber, set to launch next week, be the savior of network neutrality? Some speculate that the program is Google's answer to attacks on network neutrality by the big internet providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T. These companies complain about the price of upgrading and maintaining their network, and want to charge websites like Google extra money to allow customers fast access to its sites. This practice would violate the long held spirit of the internet, where all data traffic is treated equally. Google may be out to prove that fast networks can be built and maintained at reasonable prices."

Bing will be replaced by Google and Microsoft websites will load half as quickly.
If you call and complain they'll disavow any knowledge of problems on the network and it must be Microsoft's fault.

WTF -- I've been ranked a lowly Troll for speaking my mind against Google You do know they want to know what's in your fridge, they wat to know what's in your closet and they want to know what you read and what you do.
And if you can sit there and tell me that's preferable -- THEN FUCK YOU.
Frankly -- maybe we need a civil war, where we can discuss this shit OFFLINE.
To me Freedom from unlawful searches and freedom to seek my own knowledge and conduct my business is freedom from an OPPRESSIVE REGIME CONTROLLING IT ALL.
So fuck you -- I am for being anonymous, for being free and NOT for some asswipe "Not Evil Larry's" Corp trying to control me and use me to their ends.
And FUCK YOU for saying that we should just trust some CITIZEN that has NOT MASTER, NO OVERSIGHT, NO ONE TO JAIL for their actions and that we should call them Master.
Google has made it clear for several years that KNOWLEDGE ABOUT US is their product and commodity.
But in USA 2012 I AM A TROLL. Maybe in USA 2020, I can shoot to kill fucktards like you off my lawn.
Oh yes, I am passionate about this.
I love freedom from Hall Monitors and Snoops.
Fuck you slave, I will lovingly kill thralls who try to enslave me to their master.

Think positively. At least the GP didn't say "rain them in". When it comes to online forum grammar, I'd call that a small victory.
