Net Neutrality?

Web Neutrality according to Wikipedia is defined as:

"a principle proposed for user access networks participating in the Internet that advocates no restrictions on content, sites, or platforms, on the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and on the modes of communication allowed, as well as communication that is not unreasonably degraded by other traffic."

We had an interesting and fun debate in class about the pros and cons on this topic where each group took a side and defended the side they were assigned.
I still am confused on which side I am for!

Some people think there are people who believe that a complete regulation is needed for the internet in general. There are two sides to this debate. Here are some pros and cons of Internet regulation:

Pros of regulation:

Regulation can help reduce illegal activities over the net. It will also help to prevent identity thefts and credit card thefts and many others...

Cons of Internet Regulation
A complete takeover by the government or telecommunication giants can lead to violation of net neutrality and will dampen effectiveness of this medium. It will be against net neutrality principle and will allow certain websites to limit their content to paid customers. For years the Internet has been an open source of information. A regulation policy will pretty much mean limited access to information.

Whether Internet regulation is good or not, it is a huge area for debate, but what we can do to increase the effectiveness of it in order to use it wisely! We need to use it with a sense of responsibility.
