This was written in response the initial adoption of the net neutrality rules 2-3 years ago but the points remain valid.

Because net neutrality is not as cut-and-dry as this meme makes it seem. It's basically just corporate welfare for websites at the expense of ISPs. While I agree that under the current regulatory scheme, cutting this one regulation might be bad for consumers and allow the ISPs to do bad things, in a free market, ISPs should be allowed to do what they want and if customers demand net neutrality it won't have to be enforced by the government. What we should really be campaigning for is an end to all the regulations, including net neutrality, that stifle competition in all areas of the internet. If we had robust competition for internet service provision, consumers would be able to get what they want, which might include net neutrality, but it also might be lower prices at the expense of net neutrality.

The net neutrality debate is simply large monopolistic websites fighting with large monopolistic ISPs. As consumers we should be uniting and fighting against both instead of allowing them to pit us against each other.

Obama-era FCC rules allowed for more Government-controlled censorship of the internet. All The Trump admin is doing is eliminating regulation of this nature. Obama's "Net Neutrality" manipulates the term the same way the "Patriot Act" allowed indefinite detention of actual U.S. Patriots.

ISP's are already spying on citizens for the government and have been since the 60's, and that behavior can only be tackled with laws that respect the privacy and speech rights we are supposed to be guaranteed by the 1st and 4th amendments. Net Neutrality is the biggest crock of shit ever and it's frustrating how ignorant people are of this.
