Net Neutrality ? probably wont happen

Let see: AT&T spying for the NSA , Yahoo spying for the Chinese Secret Police, and Google spying on everyone for God knows what reason. The problem with the information age is that too may companies and groups with acronym names gathering information on everything and everyone just in case it may be of value later or to sell this information to others that want the information to use against you or sell you something... in other words MONEY AND POWER the motivating factor behind most things .
Restrictions on the desimination of information on the internet is a double edged sword that goes against what we expect for the internet , freedom of the flow of information . But companies and governments dont enjoy constitutional freedoms because they are not people so the answer is simple. Just restrict the gathering and storage of the information . If you give out information gathered by spying on peoples lives, knowingly or by not protecting your data then you should go to prison. period .
