The Pros And Cons Of Net Neutrality

Net-neutrality is the principle that providers of Internet services enable access to all contents with no prejudice or discrimination against sites or products regardless of the source. In December, the U.S. government repealed the national regulations that prevented “Internet Service Providers from blocking legal content, throttling traffic or prioritizing content on their broadband networks” in favor of a “looser set of requirements that ISPs disclose any blocking or prioritization of their own content.” In summary, the government has decided to change net-neutrality and make it easier to profit from. The government’s want, and subsequent success, to change the strict guidelines by which net-neutrality operated with is supported by the Chairman

A free internet is not one that is unregulated nor is one that is strictly regulated. There exists an elusive measure existing the spectrum that must be fulfilled without tainting the uniqueness of the internet. Two key features of a free internet, net neutrality and online freedom of speech, must be maintained throughout. The internet, as it is now, has paved a new path for communication in the modern era.

At the time the Internet was introduced, it was a major technological movement that would shape the world of Business and Communication. And though successful in all aspects of everyday life, The Internet over the past two decades has faced turmoil over the idea if the Federal Government should regulate the Internet. The FCC since 1996 has pushed for this idea of “Net Neutrality”.

The Patriot Act (the full name is the USA Patriot Act, or "Uniting and Strengthening America Act by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001") was signed on October 26 by the former U.S. President George W. Bush in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11. The main purposes are to improve the level of domestic security and to strengthen the powers of law-enforcement agencies in terms of identifying and eliminating terrorists. The US government and its supporters believe that it is one of the most useful tools to investigate and arrest terrorists within and outside the borders of the country. However, critics argue about Acts “overpower” which treats the civilians in non-democratic way and

What is DACA? DACA is a program created by Barak Obama to aid undocumented immigrants, specifically children who were brought in by their parents illegally. How does DACA help immigrants? They are helped by being allowed to work, have a driver license, and potentially own a home. How are these opportunities granted? DACA provides them protection from getting deported and has a 2 year warranty allowing them these opportunities, they can also "extend" their warranty by working and paying taxes to the government. My personal opinion of what is going on currently and DACA is that there are "two sides" to the story. One side claims that the Dreamers ( illegal immigrants ) came to have a better life, hoped to make a difference, and have the power

With the world population being 7,259,902,243 people, a grossly huge amount of people use the Internet, the number being 3,366,261,156 people worldwide. That ends up being almost half of the population, the percentage being 46.4% I one hundred percent disagree with the “decision” of the government ridding of the Internet entirely, as if that isn't clear enough already. Though the government might find the termination of the Internet useful in some circumstances, I have no doubt that it may result in riots, violence, protests, and more in order to get it

On September 11, 2001 the world came to a stand still as a terroristic attack targeting our country killed 2,977 people. As fear ran high in every American house hold, the government quickly acted and on October 26 President George W. Bush passed the USA PATRIOT Act. The full title, "Uniting and Strenghtening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act", suggest how the government quickly acted in response to the new threat that we were experianceing. Although some may argue that it violates our civil liberties, the Patriot Act serves as an asset to help protect U.S. citizens by stopping terrorist attacks, giving the law enforcement tools to make investigations easier, and increases national security.

“I am concerned that we may succumb to fears about possible dangers to the internet’s future and react with proposals to legislate or regulate its operations” (Farber, 34, 2009) What is known about the internet today, is not what once was. This is one of the main themes found within the article “Network Neutrality Nuances” in the counter section written by David Farber. What Farber aims to do is to give a secondary look at Network Neutrality from his own perspective. With the growing controversy surrounding network neutrality, it becomes beneficial to look at a number of different perspectives if a conclusion to the argument is to be reached.

David Farber’s Counterpoint in “Net Neutrality Nuances” by Barbara Schewick and David Farber brings up a different perspective and analysis on the issue of Net Neutrality. Instead of agreeing with the opinion of the majority and supporting the idea of the government regulating the behavior of ISPs when it comes to the internet, he argues that the government should simply leave it undisturbed and refrain from passing any laws regarding net neutrality. He believes the government progress will only slow down and hinder the actual solution, which he believes is to let the internet work itself out and resolve its own problems as it has done so in the past. While he brings up valid counterpoints to Barbara Schewick’s points that support regulation, David

On September 11, 2001 terrorists attacked our country. Immediately after these attacks our US congress had to do something. They passed two major pieces of legislature. The first being authorization for use of military force, which gave George W Bush permission to use military force against terrorists, which he used to wage a full war. The second legislature was Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, or the patriot act, which allowed government to use loopholes in the fourth amendment to keep surveillance on their citizens to stop terrorism. (CITATION)The Patriot Act is like 1984 because the patriot act allows secret searches, without probable cause, and was enacted to stop our enemies.

The Patriot Act will be one of the most controversial pieces of legislation ever to be passed by the United States’ government. People in our society nowadays give the ultimatum “pro security, or anti-freedom?” That is not the Patriot Acct in a nutshell; it is far from that statement. There are more cons than there are pros, but the pros that have come out of the passage of the Patriot Act may have saved millions of American and international lives from the destruction of terrorist. That being said the lives that were saved did come at a price of the American citizens’ privacy and broke numerous amendments from the Bill of Rights. The government continues to pass parts of the original Patriot Act as the years go on and it seems like no matter

September 11, 2001 is known as a remarkable day of history in the Untied States. Not long after the after mass of the terrorism, the USA Patriot Act was brought. The USA Patriot Act is a ten-letter acronym for the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (George W. Bush signs the Patriot Act. (n.d.). The attacks of the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon on September 11th resulted in the legislative response of the Patriot Act. The USA Patriot Act signed into law by both congress and George W. Bush on October 26, 2001, exactly a month and fifteen days after the terrorist attack. Solemnly, the Patriot Act was altered to strengthen U.S.measure to deter and punish terrorist acts against the United States.

" Our generation is one known for the internet. Many of us have never known a world without the internet. A good thing about that is that we stay informed on subjects from all around. A bad thing is cyber-bullying and negativity. But no matter what negative or positive place we withhold on the internet, one thing that stays the same is government control. Agencies watch the things we post in order to catch criminals and make sure terrorists have little control in convincing. Now this can be a good thing but if the power goes to far it could be a violation of our rights and privacy. Which goes against the constitution. The government should have limits to how much power they have on the internet for the safety and rights of our people. A good thing is to realize what rights we have on the internet and watch what we post.
