i'd suggest ALAC's views reflect the fact it is not dedicated to advocacy for noncommercial interests and has a substantial commercial component in it's membership. We don't claim to speak for all "end users" as you claim. We represent the two billion noncommercial users of the internet. Commercial end users have other places to go, including ALAC.

Hmm. What constitutes a "non-commercial user"?

Someone who never purchases goods or services on the Internet, has a no-cost ISP and never reads content on ad-supported websites or uses analytics-supported search engines? Is that really two billion?

Just curious.

So we have dictatorship of the proletariat? The only way to save the bottom up MSM is through top down control?

Dictatorship of the proletariat? That sounds more like Marxism 101 than top-down.
