Maintain Net Neutrality

Once the FCC dismantles net neutrality I am concerned that internet service providers could inappropriately restrict access to certain content. They could restrict access based on their ideologies or the ideologies of entities willing to pay for privileged access. For example, a provider could retard downloading a Fox News or CNN website or charge more to access them. A partisan US government agency hostile to or dismissive of average American needs could pressure providers to promote or repress specific ideological principles.

However, I am more concerned about the potential of foreign adversaries having greater control over content to which Americans are exposed. For instance, a Russian state actor could work under the cloak of a seemingly legitimate client. They could pay for priority search engine exposure to promote divisive points of view solely to undermine American democracy. This is quite possible, remember, Facebook got paid in rubles for ads to do just that.

Should a foreign actor gain control of an internet provider either through a secretive shell corporation or by surreptitiously convincing a provider to promote certain divisive points of view, American democracy would gravely suffer.

By not honoring the demands of their constituents to preserve Net Neutrality the GOP undermines our fragile democracy just to keep their wealthy donors happy.

Why Russia Hates Net Neutrality

My last  post discussed Russian political bots. Another very effective way to spread Russian propaganda which includes fake, targeted news and information would be to eliminate net neutrality. Any effort to close the free and open Internet by any politician would play into the hands of Russia or any other American adversary.

In 2015, the Federal Communications Commission established rules to protect and promote net neutrality. That is, it prohibited providers from degrading or blocking access to targeted sites or allowing payment for priority access to or for special interests. If any political entity succeeded in eliminating net neutrality Russian oligarchs would be ecstatic.

Imagine Russia paying providers to speed access to their political websites promoting candidates they prefer thus restricting access to the opposition. Imagine Russia paying search engines to optimize their preferred content. Imagine Russia paying to prioritize favorable but untrue content thus in part displacing unfavorable but truthful information and news. Now envision greedy American politicians being seduced into repealing free and open Internet rules.

Beware of hidden agendas.

Defeat Russian Bots

The Russians among other adversaries have invaded our social media with internet “bots”. The Russian political bots focus on disrupting elections and destroying confidence in our democratic system. A bot in this instance is software on the Internet that recognizes key words on your social media. It then replies with information either fake or real to achieve a specific objective. Real Clear Defense offers a discussion on Russian bots.

Russian bots identify a political entry and then respond with an adapted version of political news. For example before the election this news generally discredited Hillary Clinton. After the election this news tends to highlight Trump’s ineptitude. In the first case the objective was to hurt Clinton and get Trump elected. In the second case the goal is to seed distrust and lack of confidence in the administration’s ability to govern. Either way a path to an autocratic regime, preferably sympathetic to Russian oligarchs, is the goal.

Unfortunately, we may inadvertently disseminate Russian propaganda by re-entering both pro and anti-Trump articles and memes into social media. I strongly suggest that we use discretion when forwarding political information. This news and its source, either real or fake, are designed to incite uncertainty and distrust in our politicians and our democratic process.

Don’t carelessly forward information you haven’t vetted through a fact-checker. I suggest vetting sources with Media Bias/Fact Check. Note that other American adversaries; North Korea, China, Iran, etc. also deal in this subterfuge. Even American sources deceitfully use bots for political gain.

Where Do Your loyalties Lie

It appeared at the Comey/Rogers hearing today that the Republicans were more interested in finding out who leaked information about Michael Flynn (among others) rather than if and with whom Russia attempted to subvert our election process.

Imagine just one scenario if no one leaked the information. Flynn could still be a paid staff member of the Trump administration attending confidential intelligence briefings. He would be receiving our deepest national secrets while unregistered as a foreign agent and linked to Vladimir Putin. Had this person not revealed Flynn’s transgressions, a back channel to Putin and his minions from the White House might have materialized. This would be the instrument to further sow distrust and erode confidence in our democratic processes.

Now, I am not condoning the leaking of information that would compromise honest people or legitimate operations, but there is a difference between leaking and whistle-blowing.

For all you people who blindly support these hard-line Republicans, take a long, hard look at where your loyalties lie.
