Remember “net neutrality” is 800 pages of regulations, most of which enable spying and internet censorship... but was sold as “net neutrality” to quell protest.

Regulations are always sold as protecting consumers but rarely work out that way- the telco and cable monopolies we have now are the product of regulation.

In other words this is regulation that promises to fix the “unintended” consequences of earlier regulation.

But those consequences were intended by the companies that benefit from regulation.
