The libertarian super-duo, Congressmen Ron and Rand Paul, launched an "Internet Freedom" campaignthis week that has come out swinging against net neutrality, branding it as a clever attempt at more government intervention. "The Technology Revolution" manifesto decries any attempt to regulate private Internet service providers as an afront to liberty, yet seems to ignore that powerful telecommunications monopolies can wield as much coercion over the future of the internet as the government. A world without a level playing field of internet bandwidth allows powerful companies to favor their well-endowed corporate friends over the scrappy startups that power the most vibrant innovation on the web.The father/son manifesto praises the Internet as an unqualified libertarian success story, "companies, like Apple," it explains, are " responsible for creating almost half a million jobs in the United States since the iPhone was introduced...All in less than 5 years, and all without government permission, partnerships, subsidies, or regulations!"
