If by "screwing you over", you mean forcing the ISPs to allow the internet to work as it has for the last 30+ years, by forbidding the telcos to look at every piece of data coming through their networks an blocking anything that competes with the ISPs? Then yes, the feds will prevent the ISPs from blocking the content you request over the ISPs networks.

HOW DARE THE BIG BAD GOVERNMENT DO THAT. THE ISPs SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BLOCK ANY AND ALL CONTENT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, THAT THEY WANT!!!!

Here is a nice quote from Verizon, as part of their lawsuit against the FCC in 2012 - "Just as a newspaper is entitled to decide which content to publish and where, broadband providers may feature some content over others"

Yes, this is what you are fighting for. The right of the ISPs to block sending you information over the internet. PLEASE at least investigate the issue from a neutral site. You CANNOT get all your information here, as the anti-anything government sentiment around here is clouding a lot of people's ability to apply even the most simple logic to this whole issue

LOL you post this leftist dribble as though the government is some knight to come and save us from the mean ISPs.

If there are any problems as you describe and if you have a rational mind and dig deep enough, then you will realize that these problems are caused by these big companies having the government do their dirty work.

This is known as the evil of crony capitalism.

This FCC plan is all about control of the people by evil sadistic humans in government.
