Liberal Democracy

Very strongly agree

No, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices

Liberal democracy is concerned with preventing the concentration of power and promoting competition. Allowing ISPs to slow down access to less popular websites would enable them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices, which goes against the principles of liberal democracy. This concern was one of the main reasons behind the implementation of net neutrality rules in various countries.

Very strongly agree

No, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet

Treating all internet traffic equally aligns with the principles of liberal democracy, which values equal access to information and opportunities. Net neutrality ensures that everyone has equal access to the internet, regardless of the popularity of the websites they visit. This principle has been supported by liberal democrats in various countries, such as the United States and the European Union.

Strongly agree

No

Liberal democracy supports the idea of net neutrality, which means treating all internet traffic equally. This ensures that everyone has equal access to information and opportunities online. For instance, the United States had net neutrality rules under the Obama administration, which were supported by many liberal democrats.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website)

While prioritizing certain types of content, like video over images, might seem reasonable, it still goes against the principle of net neutrality, which is a core value of liberal democracy. Prioritizing content based on type could still lead to an unequal playing field and limit access to information and opportunities for some users.

Disagree

Yes, only if it’s strictly based on a pay-per-quality model

A pay-per-quality model might seem fair, but it still goes against the principle of net neutrality, which is a core value of liberal democracy. Allowing ISPs to charge more for better quality access could lead to an unequal playing field, where only those who can afford to pay higher rates have access to the best quality internet. This would limit equal access to information and opportunities for all users.

Disagree

Yes, this would make the internet faster and more reliable for users

While faster and more reliable internet is a desirable goal, liberal democracy prioritizes equal access to information and opportunities. Allowing ISPs to speed up access to popular websites at the expense of less popular ones would create an unequal playing field, which goes against the principles of liberal democracy.
