Net Neutrality
Network neutrality – an idea that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) should treat all data that travels over their networks fairly, without improper discrimination in favor of particular apps, sites, or services. We believe, as many do, that speech, communication, should be able to flow without hindrance. What life looks like without Net Neutrality is something we already have with mobile/cellular phones, which is blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization of Internet traffic.
