Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Network neutrality is the requirement that all internet service providers (ISPs) must allow equal and unrestricted access to all web content, without discriminating or charging differently based on the type of content or the source. This principle is being threatened by the SOPA and PIPA bills, which seek to give more powers to copyright holders to shut down or block websites suspected of hosting or linking to pirated content, without due process or judicial oversight. The concern is that such measures could lead to censorship, chilling effects on innovation and free speech, and the creation of an unequal and fragmented internet. Therefore, those who defend network neutrality view SOPA and PIPA as a violation of that principle and a threat to an open and democratic internet.
