Net neutrality effectively ending under Trump might clear it up

Ah, you're right, the reimplementation of some of the old rules was voted to pass in October 2023 so it's probably still in the works. Damn.

Wow, think about that for a moment. ISPs could be controlling everything we see and don't see right at this moment. Kind of fucked.

They're still regulated under Title 1, just not as much. Theres much less of an obligation to set a fair price, for example. More so pointing out we can't necessarily rely on net neutrality as something that generally protects anyone from anything anymore. It only prevents business from doing specific things that are seen as bad business, the consumer isn't really in mind
