A Non-Consolidated Media and Net Neutrality have helped fight Evil itself |

Up until modern times, a tyrant could do whatever he pleased with his people, shoot them, gas them, herd them into camps, and it only became known what happened AFTER the unfortunate events took place. But, something changed when the world wide web came to be, it became harder for evil men to perpetrate crimes against humanity.
Think for a second: How would the Holocaust have gone if the Internet existed back then? How about the Armenian Genocide? Could it have made campaigns against Colonialism and Slavery easier?
RW'ers and others are trying consolidate the media and end Net Neutrality. Could this have negative consequences for human rights though?

Information is power. Powerful people, and those seeking power, always seek to control the flow of information. The end of "Net Neutrality" would have terrible consequences for human rights. The corporate puppet-masters don't give a frog's ass about human rights.

2. the internet provides an oppurtunity |

to create an avidly informed world populus able to think and reason independently of the MSM.
That is what they are co scared of and that is the reason for the net neutrality bullshit.
