I really don’t understand who would be opposed to Net Neutrality. To me as a freedom loving American, the analogy about “porn filtering” has it exactly backward. Its the opponents of Net Neutrality who want to apply filters to content, not the other way around.

It’s not about being opposed. It’s about this being a needless goverment action towards control of the Internet. None of the boogeymen suggested by the fear mongers that propose such regulation have ever happened. The public can handle very well any company that attempts to sell un-neutral net access, and the companies know it.

“I really don’t understand who would be opposed to Net Neutrality.”

I recently spent two weeks in Vietnam. I stayed at a decent hotel which had seemingly full service cable, incl. CNN, BBC, MSNBC, Bloomberg and other channels but not Fox. Following that, an American I met in a bar said he had the same package at his house but it also included Fox. I.e., VN’s “Net Neutrality” program eliminated one program - the conservative one. That’s what you can expect from this U.S. Administration and its minions.
