815 Words4 Pages

“I am concerned that we may succumb to fears about possible dangers to the internet’s future and react with proposals to legislate or regulate its operations” (Farber, 34, 2009) What is known about the internet today, is not what once was. This is one of the main themes found within the article “Network Neutrality Nuances” in the counter section written by David Farber. What Farber aims to do is to give a secondary look at Network Neutrality from his own perspective. With the growing controversy surrounding network neutrality, it becomes beneficial to look at a number of different perspectives if a conclusion to the argument is to be reached.

Network neutrality is becoming an ever present debate in today’s culture and it contains more meaning than ever before.

He gives many details and examples to backup and support his argument. Nicholas Carr gives himself credibility by stating that he knows what’s going on in his own mind, this is where he is uses ethos.

While reading this writing, it’s necessary to also factor in all of the useful deeds the Internet can serve. I believe Carr knows this as well, remaining practical while recognizing how useful the Internet and search engines can be. Stepping out of my own shoes, from an author’s point of view, I can see how the internet could hinder the strong and unique opinions of writing topics.

In December, the U.S. government repealed the national regulations that prevented “Internet Service Providers from blocking legal content, throttling traffic or prioritizing content on their broadband networks” in favor of a “looser set of requirements that ISPs disclose any blocking or prioritization of their own content.” In summary, the government has decided to change net-neutrality and make it easier to profit from. The government’s want, and subsequent success, to change the strict guidelines by which net-neutrality operated with is supported by the Chairman
