Motherboard: "Ted Cruz is Trying to Sabotage the Internet's Governance Transition"
http://motherboard.vice.com/read/internet-takeover-ted-cruz-icann Cruz justifies his position by extolling the virtues of the "open internet," which Weinstein finds laughable given the Texas lawmaker's fierce opposition to net neutrality, the principle that the internet should remain free, open, and accessible. "It's ironic that Ted Cruz is waxing eloquent on the Senate floor about internet freedom, when he is vehemently opposed to net neutrality, and has taken the dominant ISPs' view that they should be allowed to control what Americans see," Weinstein told Motherboard. "Americans don't have to be concerned about foreign countries censoring the internet, we have to worry about people like Ted Cruz censoring the internet." - - - --Lauren-- Care About Science and Tech?
