Special interests are already claiming that “net neutrality” is incompatible with far more complex systems that must serve many needs.

Nonsense when net neutrality is understood as such things as the rights of the people to use the Internet without business deciding what content will be available to us.

Restoring net neutrality, as before the Republicans repealed it, will be a simple step once we have the power. But big business and pernicious media know it is a first step to securing the rights and protection of the people with far stronger regulation.
