A long time ago I saw an eye-opening graphic in favor of net neutrality. It showed some company logos (like, I don’t remember, CNN, ABC, things like that) as big, and other web site logos as increasingly small, to represent those who are willing to pay vs. those who may not be able to pay. At the time I thought, cool, but didn’t think to save it. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

Now I’m in the position of trying to explain to someone on Facebook why Net Neutrality is a good thing, explaining why McCain’s scumbag “Internet Freedom Act of 2009” is just as damaging, misleading and scumbaggy as Bush’s horrific “Clean Air Act” and why her Facebook message “Keep the government out of the Internet!” is wrongheaded. I’m probably not the best person to do it, but no one else will and she’ getting bad information elsewhere. She’s all for the concept of Net Neutrality, but she doesn’t know it’s called that. She thinks the “Internet Freedom Act of 2009” favors the people, the internet users, not the telecoms. She thinks the FCC is going to regulate the internet at the expense of regular people, the opposite of what it’s going to do. Republicans have done their job well in trying to confuse the issue, as usual. It sure worked on her.

So anyway I’d like to show her that graphic as one part of trying to explain this mess. I think it will help her get the first gist.
