Bill talks with Joseph Torres about net neutrality, which as Joseph puts it is about making sure any internet user can access any content or application of their choice online. Joseph describes the way that net neutrality kills innovative competition, allows for a subtle form of censorship and, in monetizing the internet, ignores the successful models employed elsewhere in the world that preserve it as a public good.
Joe Torres is government relations manager for Free Press, a media-reform group. Joe works closely with Free Press' policy and research staff to create the organization's legislative agenda, lobby in Washington, D.C. and in the states, and build new coalitions that broaden the base of the media reform movement.
