What are your thoughts on these discussions that Google and Verizon are having? Does it make sense? Will there be outrage by consumers to be treated with a lesser quality of service?
Dear MoveOn member,
Yesterday, Google and Verizon announced a horrifying proposal that would literally kill the Internet as we know it. Their plan? To create two separate, unequal sections of the Internet—one for big business that would be high-speed and exclusive, and then the inferior, slow “public Internet” that would be available to you and me.1
Google used to be the kind of company that would have fought a terrible deal like this. In fact, their corporate motto is literally “don’t be evil.” We created this satirical video to demonstrate just how much Google has changed. Just click below or go to https://www.moveon.org/google.
Then, forward this to five friends and urge them to sign our petition urging Google to back off this deal at https://www.moveon.org/google.
Thanks for all you do.
