Really pleased to finally get around to Twitter-announcing my new book, Paradoxes of Network Neutralities, covering 30 years of broadband activism and its relationship to neoliberalism, emergent surveillance capitalism, and more. Out now on MIT Press: bit.ly/Paradxs

There's a long-standing fear that if fascism were ever to take firm root in America, too many in our media would remain complacent or even complicit in its rise to power. Recent actions by Mark Zuckerberg & the NYT, under the guise of promoting free speech, seem to bear this out.
Really excited to see your book is out, @schock! Can't wait to dive in.
Huge thanks to @JasmineMcNealy for interviewing me about Paradoxes of Network Neutralities for the New Books in Tech podcast! Now available: newbooksnetwork.com/russell-…

Russ Newman’s (@ranewm) new book from @mitpress explores the movement for #NetNeutrality 📚📚 mitpress.mit.edu/books/parad…

@ranewm's dissertation, which this book is based on, is the most thoughtful analysis of the battle for net neutrality that I have encountered. Can't wait to read this.

The two initiatives 'Privacy for America' and 'Privacy For All Americans' spread industry-funded misinformation that aims to undermine upcoming privacy legislation in the US.
It would be funny if it wasn't real. They could succeed.

For years it’s been clear that consumers must have the opt-in choice—not just for Facebook, but across-the-board—for those who hold our personal data. Congress and the agencies have looked the other way and failed our right to privacy. Time to get serious about the net.
Russell Newman retweeted
The problem is much bigger than Facebook. It's the internet's economic model. It's the internet's surveillance model.
Communicating, sharing, and accessing information shouldn't have to make you a commodity or target.
You shouldn't be exploited for using the internet.

@apple just rejected our Wehe app (dd.meddle.mobi/) for detecting net neutrality violations such as throttling video traffic. Asked why, and was told "We do not think it is appropriate." (1/n)
Russell Newman retweeted
But hey, at least we now know where @apple stands on net neutrality.

The US is losing its lead in online consumer protection: scientificamerican.com/artic… @saschameinrath @Foditsch #netneutrality @FCC @FTC

WSJ: 72% of large sampling of FCC docket comments supporting Chairman Pai's anti- #NetNeutrality position were faked (not from person named as author) — a federal felony.
More evidence of corruption fueling the @FCC decision to take control of the internet from internet users.
O'Rielly noting that in addition to pre-empting state efforts to add #netneutrality rules of their own as part of this order, sees this as extending even to potential privacy protections.
