Net neutrality, despite the corporate-egged-on-hype, has bupkis to with government deciding who says what. It was actually a plea to be protected BY the government from everyone who didn’t trust big corporations who had already been caught ‘filtering’ traffic for multiple reasons being able to literally charge more for traffic to/from website X than website Z for any reason they liked.

Shows how effective the MSM and Internet are at making people believe the exact opposite of the truth. Most people on this forum believe Net Neutrality is about shutting down conservative websites. Which it could be if they decided to charge more to websites like Drudge and FR.

But mostly it has to do with them throttling video websites to force users to go to sites like NETFLIX, HULU, etc. Artificial price inflation used to force out unwanted competition.

It's all about the money. They bribe our politicians with it, and our politicians allow them to build MONOPOLIES.

Remember when politicians used to tell us MONOPOLIES were a bad thing ?
