A good introduction to Net Neutrality, and the U.S. FCC’s fight against it, can be had from comedian John Oliver*. He has dedicated two of his “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” segments and one “web supplement” update to the issue, and he does a lively and interesting job of explaining.
* Please note that if you’re one of the people who is offended by strong language, it’s probably best that you find someone other than John Oliver to explain this issue to you, such as Fight for the Future at battleforthenet.com or Free Press at savetheinternet.com.
