> I know a software engineer who is very much against net neutrality. He also happens to be very much pro free market (in the “no regulation at all” approach).

Is he also in favor of ending the monopolies that ISPs have over Internet access in most places in the US? I'm also pro free market, and if ISPs were a free market I would also be against net neutrality as a government regulation. But ISPs are not a free market; they are huge beneficiaries of government regulation. So net neutrality is one of those unfortunate cases where we need government regulation to offset the effects of other government regulation. That's the bet we can do if having a truly free market is not an option.

It may not be entirely relevant, but I'd love to know this engineer's perspective on the .ORG TLD sale and whether they believe the CA AG overstepped.

After all, it is a transaction between to private entities.
