Most Americans don’t want companies like Verizon and AT&T to return to censoring what we read, watch and post online, forcing us to wait forever for our favorite websites to load (if at all) or to start charging us more to connect with our family or friends. But our representatives in the House either are not listening or do not care, perhaps both.
Net neutrality mandated that all internet data be treated equally, or “neutrally.” Internet service providers were not allowed to censor data, slow down or speed up specific sites or charge more to consumers to access particular platforms.
