Net Neutrality is back in the news after Barack Obama released his comprehensive technology plans last week. And yesterday, Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota) announced plans to bring net neutrality legislation before Congress. Finally. Media activists have kept this issue in the spotlight for years (see SaveTheInternet.org), and now is certainly not the time for advocates of an open Internet to stop advocating. While Obama’s statements on net neutrality have been heartening, let’s not forget his alarming change of heart around FISA (the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act). Let’s remind Obama that digital democracy, information privacy, and diversity in media ownership should all remain top priorities.
