The internet already lost its neutrality
The article gives good background about FCC attempts to regulate ISP and the troubles of finding the right framework for it. Where it all falls apart, at least for me, is when it tries to use The Daily Stormer as an example of how net neutrality is &quot;already lost&quot;.<p>And I&#x27;m not even sure where to start to voice my problems with that framing. For example, the claim that there&#x27;s &quot;nothing illegal&quot; about it, which is factually wrong as lots of the content on Daily Stormer would easily break a couple of German laws, and probably laws of a few other countries, as Germany isn&#x27;t the only country with laws in regards to Holocaust denial.<p>While I don&#x27;t know the specifics about the hosting situation of TDS, I doubt what happened there was &quot;a small number of private companies decided to exercise their considerable control over what we’re allowed to read&quot;, like the author claims.<p>That sentence pretty much stylizes TDS as a kind of victim by some ominous international conspiracy, I&#x27;m quite certain that&#x27;s not at all what happened, just like I&#x27;m very certain that TDS is still around and reachable for anybody who would want to read it.
