The inimitable tale teller Mark Twain said:

“Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.”

I long ago paraphrased his assertion – into the headline you now see before you.

Europe has the massive-government, uber-stupid Network Neutrality imposed upon their networks.

And Europe generally is inclined to add more regulation to…everything. Including the Internet.

The sclerotic additive of government – is why Europe is now en masse watching video 1990s-style.

Our relative minimization of sclerotic government – is why the US is still streaming in style.

We had Barack Obama-imposed Net Neutrality for about a year.

The Donald Trump Administration rid us of it.

As always, the Left’s response was understated.

The Internet Is Dying. Repealing Net Neutrality Hastens That Death

Two-plus years later – in the midst of the global shutdown – it is our Internet that is kicking keister and taking names.
