In 2015 many activists had forced the Federal Communications commission (FCC) to have the laws of net neutrality, so that everyone can have the freedom of the internet to go anywhere they want without complications.
Net neutrality is the ability to communicate online freely, meaning that Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) should not interfere with your normal roaming through websites and going through content. It make sure that everyone experiences the same speed when going to the same websites no matter what ISP you have, making everyone equal. But right now that Trump’s FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, wants to destroy that, our freedom is now in danger. If we lose Net Neutrality then the ISP’s will be able to decide which sites and content are more valuable and differ the speeds able to access it compared to less valuable sites. And if needed (wished) by the ISP, they have the power to shut down sites all together. In a world where competition is everything, this is dangerous to let them have the power. Think of it like this, the ISP Comcast owns most of Hulu, the online video streaming like many others, most likely if you had Comcast, they would make that site fast and make other online video streaming sites, like Netflix, HBO, Amazon Video, Twitch, will be slowed due to this. And if one that is a consumer wished for faster speeds to sites, they would have to pay more just to access those faster. What it all boils down to is money and it's not right to those who don't have the best internet or struggle to pay internet, where in this modern world, internet is pretty much necessary at this point for lots of things.
