Not again... "Net Neutrality", whether you are for or against the policy, is just a terrible name. It is too ambiguous.

It's a very accurate label even if it is a bit imprecise since it doesn't convey anything about the nuances of the policy. You're probably not going to be able to come up with a better name that isn't much longer. Or did you mean that you'd prefer a policy without nuances?
What I mean is that last time there was an argument about "Net Neutrality" - you had people on this forum both arguing for "net neutrality" but on different sides of the nuanced policy. You could say that the "stupid wrong person" just doesn't understand the law - but that is my point - it's a bad name if both sides think it means what they want.
Yup. Just like "immigration reform".
If they change it you know how many conspiracy theories that’d open it up to?
The ambiguity is the point, unfortunately.
