The Web began dying in 2014. André Staltz writes about how and why. In a nutshell, traffic from mobile and tablet devices now surpasses that from regular desktop computers and of that traffic the overwhelming majority goes to either Faecebook or Google. Amazon is also in there. None of them have any interest in defending the open Web any more. Rather the situation is the opposite, they are aiming to carve out a section and establish very isolated walled gardens. Net Neutrality, or the lack thereof, lie at the heart of their plans based on the direction they have moved since 2014.

This site is NOT your personal sounding board to post stories at YOUR whim.
We have a community here, of whom you are one member. The editors try to find a balance of stories that we think will be of interest to as many in the community as possible. Part of that process is being aware that, say, releasing four linux-related stories in a row would not go over well. We try to choose "a little of this, a little of that". We most certainly DO NOT accept stories in the exact same order that they were submitted! Your story WAS accepted and will appear in due time.
Again, from the Submissions Guidelines [soylentnews.org] aka FAQ: "Don't grumble about declining of your submission." You've already started to sidetrack THIS story's comments. I do not think you want someone doing the same to YOUR submission, right? Please extend the same courtesy to the rest of the community.
