What even nonsense is this? Other than I think therefore I type.

Please can you actually explain how this is just big business vs big business? When this solidifies practices that allow major parties to unfairly dominate?

Do you even understand what net neutrality rules are/do?

I think their point is that the effects of removing net neutrality mirror the effects already seen on large platforms, which is how most people use the web. Twitter, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc already have very opinionated views on what content can be on their platforms, and which content gets shown to users vs which gets lost in the mist of cyberspace (or is shadow banned). So the competition we're seeing here, between providers and tech platforms, is a competition over who gets to have this form of control over the media.
They make the companies you want to work for slightly less profitable. I guess that counts as immoral. I'm just sick of this grass roots lobbying that we're all supposed to take seriously as a fight for freedom.
