For those that still think Obama's net neutrality is good

I'd highly suggest researching it more. It is anything but good. It is crony capitalism at its finest and more swamp corruption.

......Infowars.com has previously warned that Google and the largest communications giants on the Internet lobbied the federal government to define broadband under these 1930s-style regulations – a designation that would allow the government to regulate more rigorously the broadband providers that built the core network connecting users to the Internet as “common carriers.”
Of course, this exempts content monopolies like Google and Facebook from the strict regulations the FCC would apply to common carriers – a scheme that would allow Google, Facebook and the other Internet portal giants to censor conservatives as “fake news,” while demanding that “common carriers” like AT&T and Verizon have no choice but to carry their censored content.
The implementation of these 2015 Obama-era “net neutrality” regulations, which were heavily pushed by Google in hundreds of closed-door meetings at the Obama White House, carved out Google and the other Silicon Valley behemoths, and secured their position as absolute information gatekeepers.
Since these 2015 regulations passed, Google and Facebook have moved to become the judge, jury and executioner of the content we read on the Internet, under the guise of eliminating “fake news.”

Saw a Spot slamming Twitter re how they censor Pro-Life posts. Freedom is highly problematic.

so you would rather AT&T and Verizon be able to censor your content?

I'd rather see all internet companies unregulated.

You're wasting your time discussing this topic with people who want the internet turned over to a government controlled bureaucracy. They believe unfettered internet access is part of the Bill of Rights. Lol!

They also seem to believe giving the government full control would somehow result in more freedom.

if ISPs existed in a free market, sure
but we don't have a free market with ISPs (due to crony capitalism) yet
in your world, you want government created monopolies to be unregulated

I don't believe that getting rid of Obama's net neutrality will lead to more internet throttling and forced bundling. We currently have pathetic internet speeds in the U.S. arguably due to net neutrality. Net neutrality seems like a good method to protect current ISPs from new competition.
There is nothing like good competition to keep other ISPs honest. For example, a new ISP could partner with Netflix or Hulu and lay their own fiber and offer quadrupedal the speeds of current ISPs at a slightly lower prices. Start in highly dense areas and move out. That's how you keep other ISPs honest.

So Infowars doesn't understand net neutrality. Color me shocked.
More likely, they are doing what they frequently do, spread false propaganda because someone has paid them some chump change.

That's exactly what it is. Obama protecting his big tech buddies.

Why are the left fighting for slower internet speed?

You're in favor of this:
