Sometimes obvious-trolls really are obvious. Writer Lee Fang discovered his net neutrality articles were being hounded by one anti-net neutrality, pro-FCC mouthpiece in particular. After a little research and some help from David Pakman, he found that the commenter, Kristal High, and her associates were indeed on the payroll of DCI Group- a lobbying firm representing major net neutrality opponents like Verizon. What other [at least somewhat insulting] lobbying initiatives have High and her website, Politic365, accepted checks to promote? Kim Horcher, Tim Frisch, and Jason Inman (Comics Host, Filmmaker) discuss!

I don't have enough time to go into detail but there is an excellent documentary about inventor (Walter Shaw); it's called “Genus on Hold”.

It so much correlates to just what is now happening regarding Net Neutrality.

The link only goes to a trailer for the documentary but I did see the whole documentary on NetFlix just last night; otherwise it is a pay for on internet to see the whole thing.

If you have access to see it, it is a must see.

I would like to add the observation that this is TWO important issues wrapped up into one story:


Net Neutrality.

Trolls hired by powerful interests (corporations, etc) polluting and perverting the blogosphere and undermining public discourse.
