I apologize, but the arguments for Net "Neutrality" are talking points.
Your internet was not broken before Net "Neutrality", it will not be broken after it is no more.
In general, our world is moving more progressive - whereas people believe the government should regulate everything or the entire world will implode. More power to everyone for their own political views until they target my industry, then I must be opinionated and "political."
I am here to tell you the Internet was more free before Net "Neutrality", the world is better with an
REASONABLE amount of legislation, and I promise 99% your fears about what will happen without Net "Neutrality" are invalid and have been subliminally deposited in your head over the years to where people can not logically think for themselves, or have independent thought anymore.
NetFlix, Facebook, Amazon, Google, etc were are founded and grew because the Internet was
NOT over-regulated - and business could thrive. Evil Comcast did not stifle their growth, though I imagine they must have tried since their evilness inspires this legislation. (sarcasm)
Most people may not agree with me in the Tech world because of their political affiliation, but regulations typically hurt the small businesses and "little people" they were put in place to "protect." This is due to the fact once the government has the power to regulate an industry then lobbyists for the big companies move in and shape the regulation to only favor them and box out competition.
As seems to be the normal in this crazy world these days - we pass laws with great sounding names and promises... But if you look back at other similar examples - it typically works against us - not for us. Do not look at the name of piece of legislation politicians are trying to sell you - look it it's potential effects and weigh those against what you believe is the good of the bill. That is the proper way to govern, not by emotion.
I understand I am in a minority with this opinion, but I believe it completely with no malice. And I believe the Tech industry are being complete morons by allow politics to blind them and work against an Industry that is close to their heart. I expect to get blasted here for this, but ah well...
Net Neutrality is *not* a good thing. It is not Neutral in any way other than it's talking points.
Let's call it what it is, and then maybe we can talk a little more intelligently. It is
broad and sweeping internet regulation. The government has gone too long without being able to tax and control this industry, and from their point of view it is time for them to take it over.
So yes. I truly hope this broad internet regulation is struck down and the Internet can continue to be free and innovative.
