00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Actually, Net Neutrality is the Universality of the Net. 

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:16,000
It means that everyone connected to the Internet
has access to the whole network and can participate in all of it.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Genesis of the Internet

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Datalove #2

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:33,000
In the beginning, Man created zeroes and ones
and saw that it was good.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:43,000
So to bring them together
he organized a large party and created : the Internet.

7
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Man, in his infinite wisdom,
wanted the Internet to be a place of sharing

8
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:01,000
in which humans could support each other, express themselves
without distinction of gender, religion or age.

9
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
But on a day, when Man was maybe in a bad mood,

10
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
he created the State, and telecom industry giants.

11
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Some days later, the giants came together

12
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
to visite Man in the early morning hour, and preached onto him:

13
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
"Man,

14
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
some of your friends are well-supplied indeed,

15
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
but others are clearly broke!

16
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
From now on, we will deliver those packets with priority

17
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
to those who pay the most"

18
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Then, around noon, Man received a letter from the State
- which had been created for no purpose so far  - 

19
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
which contained a list of words followed by the comment:

20
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:10,000
"You are hereby requested to censor all packets containing 
at least one of these keywords"

21
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:21,000
When evening fell, Man reflected on all this.

22
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
An idea suddenly came to him.
He summoned the State, and told :

23
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:46,000
"State, I have decided to create the Law. And you will be in charge of it.

24
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
So engrave here, onto your most important wax tablet:

25
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
"Never again will the universality of the Internet be violated

26
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Never again any packet will be discriminated

27
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Never again a Zero and a One will be filtered or prioritised
against their neighbouring Zero or One.

28
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Declaration of the Human Rights and of the Connected Citizen,
Article one."

29
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
The problem today is that industrial interests on one hand and  political interests on the other

30
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
desire to infringe on this universality.

31
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
The Net must be neutral, the Net must be universal.

32
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
There are already a number of countries that have chosen
to defend Net Neutrality

33
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:48,000
They have written into law that the Internet must remain neutral
and that operators do not have the right to violate this universality.
