Um...

You do know with out the current Regulations, ISPs are able to charge you for internet access to websites. It also stops them from Throttling/Blocking/DoS attacking/and out right bulling Websites into pay ISPs other wise they will basically get cut off from the world. It also opens up ISPs to be able to allow them to basically sell you websites like a Cable package.

Please read the NNR (Net Neutrality Regulations). Because with out them ISP can go against you 1 st. and 4th. Amendment rights. This is the Government strong arming ISPs back and keeping the people safe. Ya I know strange concept but, its the truth.

NNR isn't necessary to guarantee 1st and 4th Amendment rights. They're enshrined in the Constitution (by definition, being Amendments). A simple legal challenge should suffice on that point.

For the rest...like I said, I agree. I don't like ISPs being able to charge me for internet access. I don't like them being able to block certain websites and allow others. I just don't think NNR is the correct solution to the problem. I think the power of the wallet and greater economic freedom is more powerful in the long run.

My biggest problem, frankly, is with the government involvement. I look at it this way: for every new kind of regulation created, the government acquires a new tool, useful for good or ill. If you allow the government to control ISPs through regulation, you grant them precedent to control YOU through the same regulatory principles. I look at Trump's proposed border wall the same way - today, it can be used to keep illegal immigrants out; tomorrow, it can be used to keep emigrant Americans in.

Let's not give the government any new tools to control us with.
