No, the government is regulating carriers.
When talking about "the Internet", people usually mean both actual wires (carrier infrastructure) and websites (content). If anything, with Title II the FCC is actually forcing companies to keep content less regulated, preventing commercially-motivated censorship.
> He played a clip in which Obama talked about what he wanted. The FCC complied
Obama tried long and hard to stay out of this mess, but Verizon's and Comcast's actions have been more and more outrageous every year.
I have a lot of complaints about the Obama administration, but everyone knows this is just the result of some carriers' continuous brinkmanship.
