Just to be clear, the first sentence is not my argument, and not my point of view at all: I was merely stating in a very clear way the (flawed) chain of reasoning people in favour of killing net neutrality put forward, which makes it all the more obvious how much nonsensical it is.
If you (re)read my second paragraph you will notice that it exactly states your last three sentences, and that we definitely agree.
That is so clearly not the case with this specific regulation, that your conclusion is total nonsense.
Net Neutrality is a term describing a necessary quality for the internet to have in order to be a free market.
Net Neutrality regulation is necessary because ISPs do not have competition to prevent them from breaking that.
Net Neutrality regulation requires ISPs to keep a few records, costing them a tiny amount, which is totally reasonable, and will not hamper the free market in any way.
