Talk:Net bias

Merge data discrimination here
this is a much better starting point article to merge data discrimination into. plus too many people think data discrimination is when someone who has collected data on a person uses that data in a discriminatory fashion against them. Upstatelee18 (talk) 05:00, 19 November 2016 (UTC)Given that it is under related topics with human discrimination being the basis, that reinforces the computer packet discrimination should be under net bias or data bias and data discrimination be used as an article talking about data being used against humans.

Yes, they should be merged. Some topics and themes should be shifted to Censorship, too. Zezen (talk) 05:20, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Change title from "net bias"
Currently the title of this article is "net bias". However, this title might not be best. Among the sources which this article cites, few use the term "net bias". The sources have in common that they talk about lack of net neutrality, but there is no particular popular term for describing that concept. "Net neutrality" is a popular term, so the sources just talk about what it means for net neutrality to be absent.

The layout of this article might not be effective as it is. The lead says, "Net bias (or network bias) is the counter-principle to net neutrality", and I feel that most of the article describes net neutrality then suggests imagining the opposite. If we changed the title here then perhaps we could focus more on a specific other topic than a variation of net neutrality.

For example, the title could be "Barriers to net neutrality", then the emphasis could be on the practices in the "models of net bias" section. I find that the "motivations" section and the "discrimination" sections are variations on discussions which people have about net neutrality.

I thought I would post here with the idea and see if others have feedback.  Blue Rasberry  (talk)  22:19, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
