3. Net neutrality is not nonsense

It has the potential to change the internet completely from an internet of unlimited freedom to one controlled by gatekeepers.

It has the potential to change the world going forward. Just as the internet has changed the world up to this point.

There is nothing about this that is not alarming. Net nuetrality is to nebulous it should be called net censorship. Currently the net is free of censorship and has given voice to millions who otherwise would not have had one. if the changes proposed are allowed that could fundamentally change.

We are close to breaking free of the cable TV model that has kept us all spoon fed the information the gatekeepers want us to get. Ending net nuetrality would put us right back in that box.

With Right wing lunatics buying up media companies at a staggering pace ending net nuetrality would put them in control of everything you can see or read. It would not happen overnight but would be a slow burn till eventually we would all be back in an aol like catered internet.

Your hair SHOULD be on fire over this.
