I understand but was merely pointing out that I don’t trust the RINO’s in congress to come up with legislation that will truly protect speech (especially conservative speech).
It is not involved in speech - Net Neutrality would prevent favoritism (faster access speeds, etc) being assigned - easily checked so it would prevent silencing of web voices. All voices will have equal bandwidth access/opportunity.

Rush excerpts:
So I sent an e-mail off to my economics advisor, Professor Hazlett, who is at Clemson, and he wrote back a long and detailed answer expressing sympathy for the poor man, but explaining why the attitude held by the poor man could end up screwing it for everybody else.
He made the point that any Internet service provider is going to have a wide and varied customer base. He’s gonna have his best customers who pay him the most and expect the best, and he’s gonna have his customers that pay $15 bucks a month. He says it’s only natural the people that pay the provider a thousand, $1,500, $2,000 a month are gonna get first dibs on high speed and access. And they happen to be subsidizing service for $15 bucks a month.
So the guy paying $15 bucks a month is expecting to get the same service, i.e., speeds and availability as somebody paying $2,000 a month, and it just doesn’t work that way.
Now, this is a simplification of this, but I’m trying to make this as widely understood as possible. So the proponents of big government who want to come in and control every aspect of human life that they can and control everything that human beings are interested in, as much of that as they can, they’re not stupid.
They figure out what it is about any industry you hate. They figure out what it is about any industry that you need and really want but that you hate about it, and they come in and claim they understand and they’re gonna get even and they’re gonna fix it for you. So the whole concept of net neutrality can be reduced in one person’s mind to the fact that some mafia Internet service providers, the government is gonna finally make ‘em play fair, and I’m not gonna have my content from Netflix buffered.
And they end up supporting net neutrality because they think the people ripping them off, the government’s gonna get even with ‘em and gonna punish ‘em, and gonna make ‘em stop doing it to boot. In the meantime, over here net neutrality is a 302-page document of regulations that nobody has seen because Obama will not release it. Just like nobody knew what was in Obamacare before it was voted on, except those of us enterprising enough to find it, dig deep, and read the 2,000-plus pages. That’s why we knew what was in it. And even after we knew what was in it, spending time on this program telling people what was in it, we got people calling us, telling us we didn’t know what we were talking about even though they hadn’t ever seen it.
