wi-fi

re: A Modern Example

Is this really the appropriate place for promoting that screwball free wi-fi agenda? I'm deleting it. Come up with examples that have a more-than-tenuous relation to regulatory capture, and keep personal agendas out of it.

As if to illustrate the ideological motivation of Wikipedia article maintainers, the following message was sent to me after I pointed out the ridiculous insertion of "free wi-fi" agenda propaganda in this article:

Section deletion

Re: Regulatory capture

Section deletion without explanation can be considered vandalism.

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism.

Good luck with your "free wi-fi" agenda, but be aware that you are actively turning Wikipedia into a grotesque sideshow. A reader comes to Wikipedia to learn more about regulatory capture and is instead greeted with pseudo-intellectual leftwing rhetoric about free wi-fi and net neutrality. Why not throw in "examples" about DRM and copyright law? It couldn't make this article any more clearly e-Leftist bullshit. Why not fire off intimidating messages to people who point this out?

As much as I don't like the tone above, I must agree with this anonymous user that this article carries an agenda pretty heavily. Certainly illustrive examples are helpful in encyclopedic articles, but it is not appropriate to go into so much detail on the example. There is more on net neutrality than on regulatory capture. Furthermore, I don't see the need for this specific example, given that there are already good examples above in the Department of Agriculture, etc.

As much as net neutrality seems like a good cause, this is not the proper format for it's promotion and I can't help but see its description here as a POV promotion of net neutrality.

Since I am not the only one who thinks this, I'm going to delete the section and paste it here for someone who can go through and figure out what, if any, of it is necessary for this article, from a neutral point of view.

Australian Examples

FDA

Why is the topic example of the FDA empty? Has this been removed? Many examples of regulatory capture in this case... 2601:19B:B00:8730:A59E:4D6D:21F:2B3B (talk) 17:27, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
