We’re often quite annoyed by Google, even though we also work with them from time-to-time. But there are issues that go beyond Google and Amazon and eBay and ZATZ. One is the so-called net-neutrality thing, which the oh-so-annoying U.S. Congress has just shat upon. Bottom line: a law designed to prevent ISPs from filtering your access to the Web didn’t make it. For example, Big Company A could pay Big ISP B to muck with how you access your favorite search engine. So, for example, each time you tried to go to Search Engine C, ISP B could choose to take you to Search Engine A instead. Or, each time you chose to access a ZATZ page talking about your legal rights, the ISP could legally take you to a page with just the opposite perspective. They could slow down access to sites who don’t pay to allow traffic through to their sites, and worse. Google, who’s anything but perfect, has written an interesting letter, which we recommend you read.
