Salon Responds To Its Own Article
from the the-internet-shouldn't-be-regulated dept
Earlier this week we posted an article from Salon about why the internet should be regulated. Not surprisingly we took issue with the claims in the article. It seems a lot of people did. Now, Salon has another article with the opposing viewpoint but which tries to explain where the original article came from. The author suggests (in a kind way) that the original author doesn't really know much about the internet, which is why he fears it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
