Oxford-Style Debate: "Net Neutrality" (co-hosted by Micgoat)
Details
This is an invitation to attend and watch a live Oxford-Style Debate as an audience. This event is in collaboration with Micgoat (https://www.micgoat.com/), an app based on a free online community, where individuals around the world come to debate society's biggest issues in politics, finance, sports, and more via live video.
Garrett Lang (https://www.meetup.com/NYC-Politics/members/4696354/) and Fredrik Stranton (https://www.meetup.com/debateclub-6/members/68578742/) will team up against Rob Guzman (https://www.meetup.com/NYC-Politics/members/191279019/) and Louis Saintvil (https://www.meetup.com/NYC-Politics/members/192589849/) in debating for and against the debate topic, respectively. It will be moderated by Thomas (https://www.meetup.com/NYC-Politics/members/15961611/).
This month's debate topic: "Government should implement Net Neutrality.” "Net Neutrality" is defined as: "the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication."
How this topic is relevant: last month the FCC voted to repeal restrictions on internet service providers (https://www.fcc.gov/restoring-internet-freedom).
The debate format will follow the "Oxford-Style" format, including: 1) opening statements; 2) rebuttals and "cross-fire;" 3) questions from audience; and 4) closing statements.
Very limited spots available, offered on a first-come basis.
