It is OUR connection, one that people like you and I have, that scares the American president. People are learning not to HATE Americans as a whole, only one regime in particular. If Bush has his way he will control the Internet too. Pay attention folks!

U.S. Corporations have tried to control the net for years. Thankfully, it’s nearly impossible because in this age, it truly is global. I hope it’s shot down and we’re able to keep it where it belongs: In the hands of all the people. Speak up! Keep the net free!

good man.
this is a part of a policy of consolidation and control of the media into a few corporate hands that control content, and the case in America today. Without this state of affairs, the bushies could not have suckered the country into war. See comment on this process of consoldiation and control by ted turner:

large companies always want to have the power

i mean im still in high school working over the summer for medium wage
i get on the internet i wanna be the big shot i make myself up to be
thanks khayav u the best thing on the net until i get a camera

Look khayav, I like your videos, but this is real bullshit if you really believe this. The fact that someone can think that internet companies are going to filter the content you receive onto your browser is idiotic and ignorant. If I knew that my internet provider was being paid to block some websites, I would simply delete my membership and go find another internet company that wouldn’t filter my content. The fact that ppl think the internet is in danger is stupid, ignorant and REALLY dumb.

I’m ignorant? I’m not the one that thinks his internet provider iggoing to take over the internet. IF YOU’RE INTERNET PROVIDER STARTS CENSORING THE INTERNET, JUST GO AND CREATE A CONTRACT WITH ANOTHER IP THAT YOU KNOW DOESNT CENSOR IT. simple comon sense.

its very simple. If some internet companies are going to censor the content you view, then you are simply going to go and create an account with a different internet provider that doesn’t censor you’re content. ex. if verizon wants to censor content to get paid, it can, but if another company, ex. time warner cable doesn’t censor, everyone will go there and verizon will go out of business. simple economics. Savetheinternet dot com is a bug money scam.

a tv channel is like a web address. The person who owns it can broadcast whatever they want. on the internet, if you have a website, you can broadcast whatever you want. It is nonsense to think that people can pay so you’re webpage is inacessable, its like saying if cnn paid time warner cable to block the fox channel from airing. start thinking and wake up.

even if it is true “which i HIGHLY doubt”, this action is still a government based decision, not and Internet Providers decision. The fact is, internet companies cannot and will not censor the internet for otherwise they will go out of business from all the of the market competition.

dasevergnini, YOU HIGHLY doubt it? And you even admitted you DIDN’T even look into it! Are you that dumb to where you think you are that smart? THESE ARE FACTS that this man speaks. Are you a corporate whore or something? Sorry for my anger I just hate stpidity!

dasevergnini,idiot? Your so damn stupid that you can’t even respond with facts. I responded with a clip..watch it mr. sheep you might leeeern somtin..Oops I spelt those werds wrong. You can always tell a right wing fox watching loon by their attacks. So what I misspelled a frickin word. That is your sole post? You CAN’T PROVIDE any facts? I hope you realize how dumb you look m8!

in america you can walk down the street and say George Bush is a moth****cker and no one can do anythign about it. In Sudan, you stand up to the government and you get a few bullets in you’re head. Please don’t make fun of Democratic priviliges, many people are dying and suffering because of the lack of Democracy.

I’ve contacted my representatives on the issue quite a while back, but from where I’m living it won’t make a difference. The senator representing me, James Inhofe, believes evolution and global warming are lies and doesn’t have time to be considering our electronic freedom. :./

I have done about as much as I can by myself. Contacted my reps etc. It is incredibly important for everybody to do the same. The net was created by individuals without the help of large corporations, and it should remain in the control of the users that make it up.

i don’t worry about information filtering. i’m fairly certain they have that in China but a program is available that circumvents the filtering. no matter what when it comes to the net governments and companies will always be in second place to the geeks.

We need to protect the right of people to free unfettered use of the internet. After watching Khayav. Within 10 minutes I had sent e-mails to all my Gov. Reps and all my e-mail family and friends. This technology is too great to give up the right of free access. Please go to (savetheinternet) It’ll only take you a few minutes to put pressure on your Sens. and Reps. Protect our right to open access so we can share ideas, cultures and friendship around the world.

Yeah, I don’t think I fully understand this concept still.

What’s the point in ruining a good thing? So there’s a few bad things, it’s nothing new to humanity.

Wars, Killing, Violence, Sex, Crimes, etc.. it’s all been around for quite a while, if people want to take it all away, then they can do it with parental blocks and stuff.

If that’s not why Net Neutrality is trying to take over, then what is? I’m still not too sure. :\

It is sad that in some countries like as in North Korea, PR China, United Arab Emirates and some others the internet service providers are checked by the government and they are (or were) blocking websites they don’t like – like as you said: these people becomes or already are 2nd class internet citizens

i’m afraid that this idea of false conciousness (as you said: we will have what appears to be freedom of information) is a reoccuring theme in the world today. democracy, the foundation of this freedom of information is victim to this also. we have what appears to be a “people’s society” but the fact that we vote once every one or four or five years (whatever country you live in), gives us little to be satisfied about but just enough to shut up…

It’s great that you’re doing this, Khaya. I’m very opposed to attacks on net neutrality. In fact, I’d like to make it more neutral than it already is. Currently, web servers have ISPs who charge more money for higher bandwidth. So the only way to have enough bandwidth to satisfy demand for a popular, successful upstart website is to pay a lot of money. Isn’t that a violation of the principle of net neutrality? Taking it further, I’d like the debate to expand to include media neutrality.

this is bullshit these Big companies have replaced the Church and they are fucking dictating to us…they can’t dictate information to us..it’s all apart of the idea to keep the masses in the dark so they can rule us..these bloody antichrists think money is all to it. Well may God deal with their souls..They can’t curb the information age..knowledge is greater than wealth. tks khayav

Hello Khaya,

I wanted to look into this because I respect your opinion. I know it’s a great purpose at first glance, but the political influences made me remember the “handsoffthe internet” group offering an equal merit.

They tend to disguise themselves as grassroots organizations when they’re managed & supported by politicians with alterior motives.

…

Khayav! Much respect man! This savetheinternet is a lie! The united states has policies already in place protecting the freedom of speech and the involvement of 3rd parties in your internet viewing. This is already illegal, the things they are talking about! Please please don’t fall for this garbage the way my own brothers and sisters do! There will always be anothing thing to scare you with! Maximum respect!

I signed a couple of petitions for this, not too long ago. I didn’t know they had a channel, though! I’ll go suby them! A truly chilling thing could befall us all, if we don’t speak up, now!
Thanx, Khaya! Have a great weekend!
…Teresa

Governments and corparations owe their current state of exsistence to controlling an manipulating information.
If we can listen to that, then sit down, talk to someone from abroad and see with our own eyes this is not true, it dashes all their hard spun propaganda

“For half my life in S. Africa I was a second class citizen; I refuse to be a second class citizen again. Even if it is on the internet.” I don’t think I ever heard anything regarding this subject both so very blunt and poignant at the same time. – I have felt for some time now that the internet could be the last bastion for unfettered speach and ideas for the whole world. I hope my country (USA) doesn’t screw it up by eliminating net neutrality. – Maximum respect, Khayav.

It has always been in the interest of the few people who held power, be they in the religious, political or social arena to control the flow of information to people. It’s no surprise that these powerful few are scared to death of the concept of information flowing freely from person to person, rather than it flowing from the “top to the bottom”.

nice vid bro. im gonna check the site. is it silly to think that we are “free” on the internet. or has it always been controlled? are we kidding ourselves to believe that ordinary people have the power to control something like google or youtube?

AT&T should be dropped by ALL customers! When will people fight back? AT&T also has a spy program set up with the Government! They aren’t alone. America has been taken over by corporations. What you say is important info. I really hope people fight HARD against this. Thanks for this video! Keep up the good work!

You have a great understanding of all this and I agree. We are a huge threat to these companies! Look at today’s music. It is AWFUL and why is that? CORPORATIONS! War in Iraq? CORPORATIONS..Bush gave THOUSANDS of no bid contracts. Now to AT&T if you have their service PLEASE drop them. They have paid millions in lobby money to control the net. PLEASE pass this clip on and post it in blogs! UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL. Bush and the corporations have been dividing us for seven years!
