I support net neutrality. Letting ISPs charge content providers for faster delivery creates perverse incentives: they'll deliberately degrade default service to extract payment. This stifles competition, entrenches incumbents, and could put the US at a further disadvantage in broadband access. The internet is infrastructure, like roads, not a postal service.

Obama gets the internet not just as a technology or industry, but as a fundamental organizing principle of politics and culture, like the printing press before it. His telecom policies reflect that understanding. Hillary's stance on video game violence tells me she doesn't get it at all.
