Net neutrality was about equal application of bandwidth, and not about monitoring content. Most ISPs already do that now.

Like with FR for example. I use verison 4G to access this site, because Spectrum throttles this site to a lower data rate through my wifi. Dial up throttle.

They don’t throttle google, or virtually any other websites that I visit.

But they can do that, because they own and operate the infrastructure. If they don’t like your website or its content, they don’t have to give anyone the bandwidth to visit it.

If your website doesn’t generate enough traffic, they won’t give you extra bandwidth, or search engine hits.

If they don’t like the content, you disappear off of web searches.

Think of it this way. Imagine that the phone company monitors all of your pbone calls and texts, and cut off your service if they don’t like what they hear.

They are throwing content off now.
