If I understand his point he is saying, Let's slow down the trivial things like Youtube and games to make real time road assistance better.

How is this related? And I don't see the Taliban connection.

He's trying to argue that net neutrality would mean a child watching youtube could slow down another user's content, like a hospital. This is silly and shows he knows nothing about current technology. The current system allows customers to pay for guaranteed speeds from their ISP. The net neutrality issue involves the ISP charging content providers to delivery content to their customers who are already paying.

He uses "Taliban" as an image for extremism, where some other would say "nazi". In this case, he refers to "fair use" extremist who want the latest episode of their favorite show never to buffer, even if this mean slowing down other.
