But.. But..
“I support net neutrality,” she began. “I believe the FCC got it wrong when three years ago it gave the green light to our nation’s broadband providers to block websites, throttle services, and censor online content.” She didn’t reflect on the fact that none of that has really happened as yet,
Well, other than de-platforming, censoring "news" because it may or may not be "fake news". Censorship is all the rage these days. Or at least amongst information services like Twitter, Facebook, and perhaps more importantly, Google. If various "conspiracies" are true, Google can use the power of it's algorithms not to block websites, but make them vanish.
But such is politics. The information services seem happy to play the games they lobbied for 'Net Neutrality. All content is created equal, unless it's content the information services providers don't like.. Which may or may not lead to the FCC jumping in to regulate that more closely, which will probably be a Bad Thing(tm). Or it'll help drive popcorn sales watching the bunfight between FCC, FTC and any other regulator which wants to pile in on Big Tech.
Meanwhile, the real 'Net Neutrality debate is lost in the noise, or autogenerated lobbyist's astroturf. So how best to regulate bandwidth & interconnect to ensure reliable communications, and avoid significant market power asserting dominance.
