Apparently someone used my name to support net neutrality.
I'm pro-NN but its still disconcerting.

Online polls (even with brief responses) are obviously completely meaningless exercises in self-selection bias, but it's going to be weird that probably not all that long in the future - even discussing things on the internet may end up becoming of questionable value. Perhaps that will signal the end of anonymity in discussion. And wouldn't be that be a world - when people can link you to the most idiotic things you've ever stated online, in your entire life. Talk about a chilling effect on discussion.

The current FCC regulatory scheme known as "Title II" represents an unprecedented increase in government control over the internet. Such over-regulation is hurting our economy and suffocating innovation. I support Chairman Pai's plan to return to a commonsense regulatory framework that allows for the internet to grow without useless government interference. The internet has flourished for decades without the heavy hand of government over-regulation. It's time we return to what works.
Obviously, it was sold to this relative as a push against the heavy hand of the government ...
