FCC's Bad Influence Spreads Abroad, PK
The European Union's latest Net Neutrality pronouncement had all the
earmarks of the current Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Just
like the FCC's Dec. 21 order on an open Internet, EU Vice President

and then backed off before doing anything significant to protect
Internet users.

formula to de-emphasize these so-called "content farms."
