Freedom to them is for corporations to be free to prevent customers from accessing competitor's products.
Freedom to charge customers for services they have already paid other companies for.
Freedom to censor and control what information customers have access to.
In most cases they are monopolies. There are no competing high speed internet companies available in most of the country. This was by design. A design developed by internet lobbyists in past years. So customers have no option except to allow a faceless corporation to control what they know and see.
The will and rights of the people has no currency anymore.
The will and rights of faceless corporations is the only thing of value in today's America.

(14,490 posts)They've abused so many words in the English language, it's hard to carry on a normal conversation without it going political, or having to stop and think about the context of every damn word.
That's exactly the way they want it and Russians are the best teachers of these methods.
