Here’s that article I was talking about.

This is clearly a power grab. They have an alternate goal than what’s stated.

Exactly.

You can be all for Net Neutrality as an ideal but be very weary of the intent and effect of such gov't legislation.
The left have a long history of proposing legislation with nice sounding names that does in fact do something entirely different.

If we *have* to regulate the Internet, how about this one-liner:

"A well informed Public, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to access public information, shall not be infringed."

(Yes, I plagiarized a famous document and altered the wording slightly :-)

It does not mean all information must be free, any more than guns and ammo is free, but it *is* available.
