On Yesterday’s COPE Vote
David Isenberg, Fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School (where I work) and member of the Save The Internet Coalition had this to say about yesterday’s vote on the COPE bill, affecting the future of access to the Internet and community media:
“Last night the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of an Internet where it would be legal for a monopolistic gatekeeper to stand between us and our medical information, us and our financial transactions, us and our travel plans, us and the information we try to find, us and the news we choose to read and watch, us and our leisure time activities, us and our intimate correspondence with our friends, us and our creativity, us and our political expression.” - House Votes Against Internet Freedom
