New Topics

Net Neutrality

commerce/anticompetitive/broadband

As things are right now, all traffic on the Internet is treated the same. However, more recently, telecom companies and ISP's have been trying to push legislation through congress that would allow them to create a "tiered Internet" and charge more for certain content (e.g., every time a user does a Google search in a neighborhood serviced by TimeWarner, Google would be charged). Provide an overview of the issue, the opposing views, and the consequences it could bring if implemented.

Existing Topics

Ethical Principles

basics/principles

This page is about ethical principles, and should draw heavily from philosophy-related sites. The topic page is in good shape, though rather sparse. It should be enhanced substantially. The Study Guide falls out of format toward the bottom of the page.
