Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) just introduced legislation to kill the open Internet, the deceptively named “Internet Freedom Act.”
This comes from a Senator who has received more money ($894,379) from AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and their lobbyists than any other member of Congress.
He also infamously told the media that he is “illiterate” when it comes to using the Internet and computers.
So whom do you want to determine the future of the Internet? A senator who is little more than a puppet of same phone and cable lobby that wants to rig the Internet and control your clicks, or the more than 1.6 million people who have called for Net Neutrality — a group that includes the geeks who created the Internet as an open platform in the first place.
McCain has built his reputation as an alleged “straight shooter.” If he is truly a person of integrity, he should return the tainted $894,379 and get behind Net Neutrality.
