Fake anti-Net Neutrality groups
CommonCause has released its second list (the first list) of fake anti-Net-Neutrality activist groups created by big cable and phone companies that want to screw us by charging three times for every packet -- once for your DSL, once for Google (or whomever's) data-center, and a third time for the privilege of "guaranteed delivery" between the two. As Craig Newmark put it, it's as though the phone company had a preferred pizza vendor that you could always get through to, while the others' numbers went through a rock-tumbler and a random-number-generator before you were connected to them.
