That's the overarching concept, the actual bill language doesn't do that. Its like the Patriot Act stopping terrorism and the affordable care act making health insurance cheaper. None of those things happened, in fact the opposite happened.

Also note the massive campaigns in favor of net neutrality when it was being proposed: Google, Comcast, Facebook, etc. Now ask yourself: Are these corporations known to look out for consumer rights?

Id be all for a bill that protects freedom of information and access to it but somehow I doubt any effort to pass that would be supported by the supporters of net neutrality.

i do understand it seems weird those who support net neutrality and usually i would not trust it, , but i just can't see how something that is supposed to stop internet providers from discriminating against sites as they choose and slowing down or banning them, can possibly be a bad thing . If there is a catch somewhere that im not seeing id like to know.

Best I can find is this: https://reason.com/search/Net%20neutrality/

Left leaning site but has decent articles. If classic liberals are questioning it, something is up.

yeah. i'm gonna have to take a bit of time to figure this out. Net neutrality stuff is hard for me to understand. Whilst i was on the site you linked me to however i found an article that said one district in washington lumped asians with whites and are no longer considering them POC, most likely because if they are POC, it would mean whites end up lagging behind the "catch all minorities" section and we can't have whites looking like they are the ones that need help now can we? Never mind that asians are about as genetically different from whites as you can be, being from the opposite side of the world. Whether you are POC or not is dependent on how successful or not successful you are. But whatever the situation whites cannot be seen to need a helping hand. LOL what a joke this is. It's just communism based on race instead of class. https://reason.com/2020/11/16/equity-report-north-thurston-asian-students-of-color/
