Network neutrality is the idea that internet service providers (ISPs) should treat all data that travels over their networks fairly, without discrimination in favor of particular apps, sites or services

The FCC will meet on October 19th to vote on proposing Title II reclassification that would support accompanying net neutrality protections

      Can someone tldr what’s net neutrality?

      Simplified, your ISP cannot favor one company over another when delivering their website content to your computer. All data must be delivered equally.

      Internet infrastructure companies have to treat all traffic equally.

      For example, without net neutrality, Comcast could elect to throttle any streaming services that they didn’t own / co-own. So great speeds for Peacock and Hulu, but was a Max, Netflix, AppleTV, etc all get throttled unless you pay up.
