Good article about the Internet and regulating it, one of the more impotant parts of the article (in my estimation) is this quote .. Though net neutrality would theoretically prevent private companies from controlling speech on the Internet, calls for the federal government to impose its own speech regulations have mounted during President Obama’s tenure in office. Cass Sunstein, Obama’s former administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, called for a “First Amendment New Deal” in his 1993 book, The Partial Constitution, that would include a nonpartisan panel to ensure diversity of view on the airwaves. Sunstein suggested that people may need to be forced to make the “right” choices when it came to news consumption. He theorized that one method of accomplishing that might be forcing websites to post links to content with which they disagreed. cnsnews/news/article/rudy-takala/fcc-commissioner-speaks-out-against-federal-regulation-internet
