Comment on FCC announces plans to resurrect net neutrality rules.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year agoNo it doesn’t. It stops them from doing things like throttling access to certain sites and providing special pathways to others. It has nothing to do with speech.

Sorry, what is “it” in that sentence? In mine, “it” is “Internet access”.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
“It” is net neutrality. You know, the thing this post is about. Net neutrality does not police speech.

Sure. My point was that Internet monopolists have the technical ability to decide “I don’t like the stuff they say on that Lemmy site, Imma block it.” Which is another good reason to not have Internet services be monopolized.

Net neutrality is the opposite of that. I’m very confused here.
