Net neutrality nonsense
Hmm. Let's look at the net neutrality amendment from

'The principle of "net neutrality" means that traffic should be treated equally, without discrimination, restriction or interference, independent of the sender, receiver, type, content, device, service or application. ... Furthermore, traffic management measures should not discriminate between competing services and applications.'
This is absurd. If interpreted literally, as lawyers tend to do with laws, it means that a greedy video or audio stream and a non-urgent email transfer (for example) will be treated exactly the same. Would you like your phone call to pause while the next web page loads? That's what the MEPs just voted for. Technical ignorance is not bliss.
