It's funnier than that really. They think "free market" means "evenly distributed" market. But, um, no. They also don't seem to understand that all of their scarrrry things are things that will tend to DRIVE future............wait for it........free market activity. Whereas, preventing all of those things actually blunts said activity. Basically, what they really mean is that they want a Socialist Market.


Still none of you guys can explain why one packet of traffic should be more important than another. Or why all internet traffic should not be treated equal.

You use terms like "more important" that are literally irrelevant.

Because I support free markets.

Because that's not the issue.

The issue is one packet of information costs less to provide the infrastructure for than 10,000,000,000 packets of information.

It's the AMOUNT of data that costs more, not the CONTENT of the data.

It's been a similar issue for cellular data usage for years. I don't see cellular providers limiting the content of free expression of ideas.
