- "Defeat for net neutrality backers. US politicians have rejected attempts to enshrine the principle of net neutrality in legislation. Some fear the decision will mean net providers start deciding on behalf of customers which websites and services they can visit and use. The vote is a defeat for Google, eBay and Amazon which wanted the net neutrality principle protected by law. All three mounted vigorous lobbying campaigns prior to the vote in the House of Representatives."

Thumb for article not the defeat.
 penman2 rated 28 months ago- As the interpretation of Freedom in the U.S. continues to be implemented as increasing corporate freedom whilst reducing individual freedom (mirroring current Republican attitudes of reducing govt. 'interference' whilst increasing corporate power), other parts of the world are beginning to look like 'the lands of the free'. A great shame - as in so many other areas, America should be leading the world, rather than becoming a pariah.
Not sure Alyssa Milano helped much.

- "US politicians have rejected attempts to enshrine the principle of net neutrality in legislation." An unhealthy, if unsurprising, development. The neutrality amendment was defeated despite vigorous lobbying from eBay, Amazon, Google, and Alyssa Milano.
