The global fight for net neutrality: Is it lost?

On 14 December 2017 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to discard so-called net neutrality rules that have prevented broadband providers from slowing down sites or demanding payment for faster delivery.

Once again, this decision reminds us that the only way to preserve net neutrality is through technology and not through regulations written by different lawmakers in several different countries.

We at Privatix think that technology is the only way. And the following citation makes our point very clear:

“The cause of helping the drowning is in the hands of the drowning themselves”
