I'm a software engineer and usually very pro-free market. But I still wildly disagree with revoking net neutrality. It gives a LOT of power to extort Americans in a market with an extremely, almost impossible to cross barrier of entry, only a few providers (and only one in many places), who are absolutely awful companies. And just because nothing has happened YET doesn't mean it wont. Microtransactions didn't hit video games overnight. We had a decade or more of good games before they started sneaking them in. Now they're everywhere.
Its amazing to me that you guys who just got censored off of a big tech platform, and rant about big tech censorship, are entirely fine trusting the same companies that own MSNBC, CNN, Vice, ect with unprecedented control of your access to the internet. You think its bad right now where they're kicking us off hosting websites? Just wait until someone decides to just start putting places like this behind a ridiculous pay wall. If they give you the chance to access it at all.
