Net neutrality isn't a government takeover of the Internet, as many of my Republican colleagues have alleged.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Net neutrality has been in place since the very beginning of the Internet.
For years, my colleagues and I - primarily Republicans but also some Democrats - have introduced legislation and written to the FCC asking the commission to cease attempts to regulate the Internet unless given the clear authority to do so by Congress.
Net neutrality is a concept that the tech industry rallies around, but it is hypocrisy.
Net neutrality is the principle forbidding huge telecommunications companies from treating users, websites, or apps differently - say, by letting some work better than others over their pipes.
Let's not let the government sell us out. Let's fight for net neutrality.
The history of the Internet is not, as some people have tried to make it, a libertarian just-so story. It is a messy tale in which the government played a significant role. That role was, however, far more subtle than the plans of industrial policy gurus or techno-boosting politicians.
If net neutrality goes away, it will fundamentally change everything about the Internet.
Net Neutrality is what makes the Internet so great - and so vital for innovation and creativity.
A liberated Internet will continue to be a reality in your life (and in the lives of your children) if rules like Net Neutrality are in place.
Over the course of a year - from January 2014 to March 2015 - millions of Americans, hundreds of businesses, and dozens of policymakers weighed in at the Federal Communications Commission in favor of net neutrality.
