Thank you for outlining what I have to work with.I have a friend who as a spokesperson for the industry before Congress and the Canadian Parliament. Regulation of the internet is here. We need to control the internet regulatory process. Shouting out "dismantle" is sure to win over converts. How many people are against regulation---except in certain areas?
the odds are we will get bad regulation NOT because of the regulators but because of the public demands.
look at crack/coke sentences and laws. they came about not because of some grand racist plan, but because people in the communities most affected by the early craziness of the drug situation demanded congress act---and they did---in the name of the people. I saw the former head of DEA for NYC/Boston who had other positions withing the dept/agency speak about how puzzled and horrified he was as he testified before congress and had individual congress people trying to out tough each other in regards drugs. things went south...the law of unintended consequences.
kiddie porn, sex, gambling, and the demands for filters of content will bring about horrible regulation because of the human factor.
