Ron Paul on Tech Policy

Tim Lee

One of the frustrating things about working in tech policy is that our issues get precious little airtime in political campaigns. Politicians rarely get asked tough questions about the issues that matter most to the technology industry. So I was excited to come across this video of Ron Paul discussing his views on Internet and video game censorship, Internet taxation, and network neutrality regulation:

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I found it jarring when they guy kept referring to Rep. Paul as “Ron.” If he had the president on would he have called him “George?”

I don't work in the technology field but I would say the reason I don't want the internet tampered with is that it represents freedom to me. With regulation comes less free speech and the delivery of ideas. It's a great alternative to the corporate driven main stream media. Like a grassroots newspaper that anyone can read. I think it's just a question of time though - they'll come for it sooner or later.
