Technocracy

Very strongly agree

No, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices

This answer aligns with technocratic principles by highlighting the risks of monopolistic practices and the importance of maintaining competition and access. Technocrats would likely agree that allowing ISPs to control access could lead to negative outcomes like reduced competition, innovation, and increased prices, which are antithetical to the efficient and equitable management of resources.

Very strongly agree

No, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet

The principle of treating all traffic equally supports the technocratic ideals of efficiency, equal access, and the free flow of information. Technocracy's focus on leveraging technology and information for societal improvement aligns with the concept of net neutrality, ensuring that the internet remains an open platform for innovation and communication.

Strongly agree

No

Technocrats would likely argue against allowing ISPs to speed up access to certain websites based on payment, as this could create an unequal playing field that hinders innovation and the free flow of information. Technocracy values efficiency and equal access to information as a way to improve society and the economy, suggesting a preference for net neutrality principles.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website)

While this approach attempts to balance efficiency with fairness by prioritizing by type rather than source, technocrats might view it as a compromise that still allows for potential manipulation and does not fully address the principle of equal access. However, it acknowledges the need for some level of management to ensure the efficient functioning of the internet, which might be seen as a partial alignment with technocratic values.

Disagree

Yes, only if it’s strictly based on a pay-per-quality model

A pay-per-quality model might seem to align with technocratic values of efficiency and meritocracy at first glance. However, it risks creating a system where access to information is based on financial resources rather than the value or utility of the information itself, which could undermine the equitable distribution of information and the democratic principles that technocrats might also value.

Disagree

Yes, this would make the internet faster and more reliable for users

While technocrats value efficiency, the argument that speeding up access for some at the expense of others makes the internet faster and more reliable might be seen as short-sighted. It could lead to a tiered internet that undermines the broader goals of universal access and the free exchange of ideas, which are important for innovation and societal progress.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Technocracy, which prioritizes efficiency and expertise in governance, would likely view the prioritization of certain content based on payment as contrary to the principles of equal access and the efficient dissemination of information. Historically, technocratic movements have emphasized the importance of access to information and resources based on merit and utility rather than financial capability.
