Online giant Google was accused of violating one of the most important laws of the Internet, the principle of neutrality, according to which everyone has equal access to information. Critics fear that with U.S. telecommunications company Verizon, Google has sketched a plan for "shared" performance allocation leading Internet and only those who pay the most.
Some voices believe that such a scenario could mean the beginning of the end for the Internet that we know, but Google says that discriminatory access is allowed in certain cases.
Gigi Sohn, president of Public Knowledge, a group that advocates for digital rights, said the deal between Google and Verizon on the management of Internet traffic is regrettable. The fate of the Internet is a problem too large to be decided by negotiations between two companies. "
