Tim Wu on the other hand doesn't support censorship at all (not a single word about this in his article), but is concerned about the dangers for free speech by high media concentration and the power of ISP to filter content for business purposes.

Thus, a fancy-sounding article about a non-subject.

Tim Wu on the other hand doesn't support censorship at all (not a single word about this in his article), but is concerned about the dangers for free speech by high media concentration and the power of ISP to filter content for business purposes.

Thus, a fancy-sounding article about a non-subject.

Flip the players, yet the “evil” remains.

I'd prefer an environment that relies more on the moral imperative of private property rights over vague “public interest” baselines. The latter cannot be policed fairly, adequately or abated.
