Yes. The number of things ISPs have to do is already ridiculous. I.e. data retention, etc. None of this has any benefit for the customers, and it is why growth is hampered.

Net neutrality has many benefits for customers.

Net neutrality has no detriments for customers.

Net neutrality is what we are talking about here.

When we conflate "all regulation" with "one regulation", we disregard any meaningful conversation about the "one regulation" with a mess of argument over "all regulation".

Please, help us stop doing that.

If you want to talk about any of the other regulations, I would love to have a conversation about them. Just be specific, please.
