You know darned well that if the government gets a toehold, regulating content will not be far behind. If google loves it, it can’t be good for other living things.
Net Neutrality: A Tax on the Internet

I appreciate the simplification of these 2 comments because they summarize the whole debate:
If you LIKE NET NEUTRALITY you must agree that the government should MANDATE that your ISP cannot decide MY BITS are better than YOUR BITS.
That sounds fair. But it isn’t.
If you DON’T LIKE NET NEUTRALITY you must agree that your ISP gets to run his business any way he wants. If he doesn’t like MY BITS as much as he likes YOUR BITS then, since he is the gate keeper of his own equipment, he can reject MY BITS and accept YOUR bits.
Sounds bad. But it isn’t.

It’s an incredibly sad thing to watch. Here we have the government practically open about it’s wishes to regulate the internet(and we all know what that means) and those on our side act as if we haven’t been here before.
No no no, net neutrality isn’t really the fairness doctrine for the internet! *rolls eyes*
This is what a century’s worth of progressive indoctrination will get you. Freedom is slavery.
