An argument about net neutrality is worth having, if only with yourself, because internet regulations can affect your browsing and streaming experiences, and an informed consumer should have an opinion on such things, right?
Net neutrality is the principle that internet providers should make all content available at the same speed.
First of all, the current regulation is, as the National Review’s editorial board put it, an example of the “Kind of lawlessness ran rampant in the Obama administration.” The FCC derives its authority from the Federal Communications Act, and the law does not say anything about the power to tell internet providers how they can or can’t distribute content.
The Justice Department is suing a major Internet provider, AT&T, to block the company’s acquisition of a major content producer, Time Warner.
So why on Earth would the Trump administration roll back the net-neutrality regulation and give internet providers such as AT&T more incentive to buy content producers such as Time Warner? It makes no sense.
If internet providers suddenly have the power to speed up content they own or slow down content owned by rivals, then they will want to own as much content as possible – which means more business deals such as the one Trump opposes.
