They missed the point that this was about regulating speech.

Net-neutrality is specifically NOT about regulating speech. In fact, it prevents providers from promoting one set of content over another.

Net-neutrality requires internet service providers to treat all data the same *regardless of content*. If net-neutrality is in effect a stream from CNN and OANN travel at the same speed.

If net-neutrality doesn't exist then someone (say Comcast) might prioritize data from MSNBC and throttle back data from OANN - thus MSNBC would stream fine and OANN would be choppy and slow.

If that's a problem (which it is not), then use a VPN.

It really seems that you are gaslighting everybody with your repeated comments about net neutrality. We do not have net neutrality now, so all these things you keep listing, all these doom prognostications about what will happen to us without net neutrality, are all fiction.
