re: It's interesting that so many have missed what the battle concerning NN is about

The whole idea is who gets to censor and control the narrative. Under NN, the tech giants can censor who they like, control the information they like, etc.

If that goes away, the telecoms can control/censor as they like by restricting access.

The only difference is the telecoms are regulated under the FCC. The silicon tech giants are not.

But reddit told you NN is good because Soros and the PR bots kept pushing the idiocy at you.

So let me get this straight:
1) Corporations controlling the narrative is bad.
2) Silicon tech giants are unregulated and control the narrative as they wish and this is also bad.
3) If NN goes away, the ISPs (corporations) can control the narrative as they wish by restricting access and this is good.

I don't really see how that makes even a tiny bit of sense. All the Pro-NN people want is for internet traffic to be treated equally.. the ISP sells a service that connects you to the internet at the speed specified in your contract. They don't care about ISPs being classified as common carriers and subject to Title II. Comcast does (and for good reason tbh).

Solution: rollback/partial rollback of FCC net neutrality ruling with the exception of how internet traffic must be treated. ISPs could still offer a variety of packages based on consumer needs (download speed, upload speed, data caps, access during peak times, etc).
