Three Dangers of Losing Net Neutrality That Nobody’s Talking About
It seems like everyone is talking about net neutrality’s impact on companies, especially startups (more so than on entrenched companies). But it affects libraries, too. Without net neutrality, argues American Library Association head Barbara Stripling, we’re in danger of prioritizing high-quality internet access for entertainment over education. By allowing ISPs to preferentially charge premiums and tier access, resource-constrained public libraries — and especially the communities they serve — will be the ones to lose. Ultimately, “pay to play” only benefits the privileged.
