Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but rescinding net neutrality leaves the FCC as the final arbitrator of any disputes. So here is the scenario if it gets rescinded; Comcast decides to slow down access to all conservative sites for its customers, Verizon does the same. Conservative sites complain to the FCC, it takes years to get resolved and when it finally gets to the arbitration board, a Democratic President is in charge and his appointed FCC board decides against the conservative sites. Could happen during an election cycle like Lerner did when Obama weaponized the IRS. Despite my gut reaction against anything Obama did, this scenario could play out, no?
The mechanism would allow it. In the past they didn’t mess with the political topics though. They tried to make money by attempting to block services like Skype so that people would have to pay their overseas call rates to keep in touch with friends and family abroad. The reason Skype won over competing internet call services was that it did clever things to bypass these blocks. Verizon was also blocking Google Wallet service in 2012. I suspect the cell network companies would very much like to block Google Maps and roll out their own map solutions.
