I think that the members of Congress that are against NN are being short sighted also. What happens if a company doesn't like your position on a topic. Now they can control who sees you. Less message= less votes. How do we as citizens get past the lobbyists wall ?

Or another example. Like a shoplifter at a retail store. The company can say you can't come back. However they cannot tell you that you can't use the highway in front of the store.

I don't think there is a double standard at all. The difference is that while Pay Pal or the others you mentioned are platforms. The companies we are talking about are providers.

Hello, Ms. Jessica. While I am not a Democrat I still believe in personal freedom. As such a person I know that the 1st Amendment limits the governments ability to control speech and expression. How could we as supporters of net neutrality make Congress understand that corporations could unduly hinder free speech and ideas if NN is not enforced?

So if a store didn't carry a brand of cereal you liked would you say by law they had to ?

I want the access to be equal, content is irrelevant. You could make your own version of You Tube just for conspiracies.

I don't want any company telling me that I cant go to that website if i wanted to. But I cant make them carry the content.
