Protesters Gather At Google Plex Over Net Neutrality [bbc.co.uk]

Around 100 people have rallied outside Google's California offices to protest against controversial proposals to alter how data is treated over the web.

Protesters outside the famed Googleplex said this would create a "pay-to-play" service and urged Google to live up to its famous motto "don't be evil".

"We all want to stand together to ensure it is protected for the future. We would expect Google to take leadership in making that happen, not be on the front line of undoing that."
