This is a problem that has never existed before. NN is a solution without a problem. Further, if ISP's got into the business of censoring what consumers could view on the internet then I'm sure at that point the FCC could step in with regulations. I'm not sure why we need regulations to fix a problem that does not yet exist.

And if we are going to run with conspiracies and hypotheticals then it seems like it should concern you that the government is getting involved in regulating the internet. I'm not sure why everyone is only worried about ISP's censoring content while we not apparently implicitly trust that the government would never do this.

But these conspiracies and hypotheticals are actually happening. We’ve shown you Portugal’s internet, so that could easily happen if all the providers agree to it.

The Big Six try to shut down outsiders at all cost, so what the frick do you think they’re going to do to them once they have 100% control over distribution of that message? No need for hit pieces anymore, they just flip a switch and extort some people or companies, and if they do not comply, then they are fricked.

This is like choosing between a stoner and a crocodile to babysit your kid. Sure the stoner could frick up enough for your kid to die, but the croc will eat him for certain.
