The right wing rants on and on about how preserving the concept of Network Neutrality is somehow a government overreach into over regulating the internet, but when it comes to real threats to the internet they become cheerleaders. No shock, as in both cases they are doing the bidding of large corporations.

The U.S. Government is determined to put an end to online piracy. In an attempt to give copyright holders and the authorities all the tools required to disable access to so-called rogue sites, lawmakers will soon introduce the PROTECT IP Act. Through domain seizures, ISP blockades, search engine censorship, and cutting funding of allegedly copyright infringing websites, the bill takes Internet censorship to the next level.

Twitter and Facebook leading the wave to kill the RSS standard as a way of sharing information? That's evil!

Twitter and Facebook Both Quietly Kill RSS, Completely
http://www.staynalive.com/2011/05/twitter-and-facebook-both-quietly-kill...
It seems in 2011 and the era of Facebook and Twitter we've completely lost any care for open standards. Maybe it's not just RSS that is dying - it's the entire premise of open standards that is dying, and I think that's really sad, and really bad for not just developers, but users in general.
