This worries me greatly. We must decentralize the Internet.
Edit: Net Neutrality (aka government takeover) worries me greatly. My suggestion to decentralize the Internet is intended to make it harder for government and corporations to censor free speech.
You realize that "net neutrality" regulations actually CENTRALIZE the Internet with the FCC and the gov't at large?
Yes, I do realize that. I don't want net neutrality. I perfer allowing corporations to decide what services they can provide instead of leaving it in the hands of goverments to regulate with violence.
If we can't have 'net neutrality', then decentralization might be better. Because the system will be self serving than.
But the technological challenges will be in-manse. So it's not very likely to be happening.
It's not very likely to be happening? That can't be good!

Yeah guys i think decentralization is the way to go.
Doesnt seems like a easier task
Removing net neutrality gives more power to ISPs to censor the internet though. If it's in FCC's hand, even if they wanted to censor the internet they would be susceptible to the first amendment.
If ISPs censor content we are free to no longer choose to use their services and pick another ISP. With the feral government your choices are to either comply or pay fines or go to prison. The problem is the more power you give the FCC the more likely they are to continue chipping away at our First Ammendment rights. The FCC is much more likely than a corporation to censor content. Even the definition of "censor" describes a government action -
Note: "an official..."
If companies like facebook and youtube are spending money to censor content it is probably at the request of, to be on the good side of, or for fear of government.
The first amendment doesn't keep the FCC from censoring things. Why do you think there are certain words that can't be said on TV during "prime-time"??? not all speech is protected speech.
