Tech: Is Google throwing net neutrality under the bus for Verizon?

  • What the #(&!, Google? We thought you were above listening to big telecom’s advances to shape internet bandwidth. So, why have you been secretly talking to Verizon for nearly ten months about basically ending net neutrality? You’re a big enough company that you could’ve totally prevented this from happening. So why give in? What benefit is there to either you or your millions of users? Unbelievable. We thought you were cut from a much tougher cloth. Screw “Don’t be evil,” guys. It’s dead. Google killed it in one fell swoop. (Oh yeah, there’s this other report which basically contradicts The Times. And this one. We hope these are right. But we’re still keeping the unchecked rage above because we’ve never been so angry at Google before and it’s a new feeling to us.) source
