Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers treat all data on the Internet the same. They don't charge differently based on user, content, website, and platform. Canada has allowed, to some extent, usage-based billing; Chile changed its law to preserve net neutrality, followed by the Netherlands and Slovenia.
Opponents of net neutrality claim that regulations deter investment and flexibility in improving broadband infrastructure in a modern marketplace.
Today, in the US, the FCC voted to repeal net neutrality.
What are your thoughts on this decision? What are the implications and what do you believe will be the effects? Do you support or oppose net neutrality?
This is regressive in nature and moreover, it goes against the America's image of the leader in free world and land of dreams and opportunities.
Here is one article that I strongly agree to :

I am against the decision that the FCC made. We should have the freedom on what we do or say on the internet. This goes against the belief of American being a freedom of speech country. Repealing net neutrality limits what we do on the internet and we had to pay to view certain websites or social media posts. I spend a lot of time on the internet as well as many of my family members and friends, whether it is for academics, work, or recreational purposes, so I fully support net neutrality.
