Here are views on both sides of the issue.
There's a real unimpeachable source! You can choose to believe that article if you like, but knowing where it comes from, I sure don't.
Which side are most of us on?
You can't separate politics from the issue, because at its core, it is a political issue.
IMHO YMMV Void where prohibited.
Your false presumption is that there is no longer regulation or oversight of the telecommunications industry. This just rolls the regulatory environment back to the Clinton/Gore framework created in the 90s, under which the whole industry has undergone revolutionary growth and innovation.
If we had a proper, healthy market system operating in the ISP sphere this whole thing wouldn't even be an issue. But instead we have many parts of the country where Net access is in the hands of entrenched monopolies. If those monopolies are good actors even this isn't so bad (though hardly ideal). But ending Net Neutrality has the effect of making it easier for a wanna-be bad actor to become an actual one. I guess we'll just have to see how Net users respond if/when potential bad actors start actually behaving bad.
