Ron Paul launches a new crusade for internet freedom | Texas on the Potomac

Ron Paul launches a new crusade for internet freedom | Texas on the Potomac | a Chron.com blog:

July 5, 2012 - "Ron Paul, working with his son, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has now written an online manifesto called 'The Technology Revolution: A campaign for liberty manifesto.'

"The manifesto outlines the Paul’s plan for the internet which, unlike the plans of both Democrats and Republicans, calls for a complete lack of regulation of the internet by the government.  The Paul’s tout the benefits of the unregulated internet, saying, '... decentralization has unlocked individual self-empowerment, entrepreneurialism, creativity, innovation and the creation of new markets in ways never before imagined in human history.'

"The manifesto lists a number of the positive outcomes that came from a completely unregulated internet, such as: Apple’s products like the iPod, iTunes and iPad, as well as the app store which, without government regulation, created almost a half-million jobs.... Ron and Rand Paul disagree with both the GOP-led regulations of SOPA and PIPA as well as the more liberal-led idea of “net-neutrality' that still advocates that the government monitor the doings of private companies."
