“Google's motto is 'Don't be evil,' but Google is about to cut a deal with Verizon that would end the Internet as we know it. According to a front-page New York Times story, the deal would allow 'Verizon to speed some online content to Internet users more quickly if the content's creators are willing to pay for the privilege.' It would create fast Internet lanes for the largest corporations and slow lanes for the rest of us.” Please, sign the petition and don't let these corporations monopolize the information. Most news media are already biased and controlled by big corporations (link below). Internet is the only door left open to everyone, rich and poor, to voice a story, without discrimination, offering freedom of expression, diversity, and at times, the opportunity to leak important truths. http://www.change.org/credoaction/petitions/view/tell_google_dont_be_evil Here is a great link showing who owns the media: http://www.freepress.net/ownership/chart/main “Select a chart: The Big Six – Cable – TV – Print – Telecom – Radio ” “GENERAL ELECTRIC: 2009 revenues: $157 billion General Electric media-related holdings include television networks NBC and Telemundo, Universal Pictures, Focus Features, 26 television stations in the United States and cable networks MSNBC, Bravo and the Sci Fi Channel.
