Thu, 05 Mar 2015 20:16:38 +0000http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=1017#comment-368I totally agree. The original goal of the Internet was this ideal of a free form open space – where anyone could log and share ideas and resources. Even then, it wasn’t realistic – it was a military funded project with the inclusion of academics. Only academics at certain universities had access to the early Internet. It would seem that as the Internet evolved, this ideal would become clearer and clearer. But the issue of net neutrality proves a step backwards. It seems difficult to reconcile the United States’ free speech belief with what is going on with algorithmic filtering. If journalists wanted the truth from the public, it would make the most sense to turn to the Internet – a place where ideas are supposed to be shared with complete freedom. But if these ideas are blocked or filtered in anyway, how is this information getting out?

Thu, 05 Mar 2015 19:23:31 +0000http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=1017#comment-362Love that you covered this. I’ve always had a difficult time understanding exactly what net neutrality is and only recently did I finally read up about it. You’re definitely right in questioning the larger effect this will have on us in the future. I mentioned in class the other day that Facebook is starting to use an algorithm that favors those who pay to boost the reach of their posts. The internet, without net neutrality, seems to be heading in that direction. There’s already regulations in internet access via mobile web that affects the American population. The internet service providers here are no doubt capitalizing on our need for faster internet–my apartment, in fact, opted for the most expensive internet plan willingly for just that. Ironically, the internet at my house is cheaper and is still much faster than the wifi in my apartment… ugh. I’m rambling, but yeah, algorithms and capitalizing on us as products is dangerous territory that law makers should be looking into in the future.

Thu, 05 Mar 2015 18:26:02 +0000http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=1017#comment-359Thank you for posting this video , it really makes the issue of net neutrality accessible. I don’t think most people understood how much of a threat internet monopolies were. I think search results built from filter bubbles and algorithms that favor where the money is or our tendencies rather than the honest truth or full picture is extremely dangerous to our progress as a society.
