At a time when the always newsworthy Donald Trump is headed back to the White House, the venerable Washington Post should be gearing up to cover his second term but instead is being subjected to an exodus of top reporters and internal strife, reports the Wall Street Journal’s Alexandra Bruell.
Net Neutrality has nothing to do with viewpoint. It refers to IP source and destination; e.g. AT&T can’t cap Netflix but let their affiliate Max through.
Just jumbling up a bunch of words you heard, that’s solid reasoning!
Replace “Netflix” and “Max” with “Substack” and 'Washington Post" and what you wrote absolutely applies to viewpoint.
It really doesn’t, those services don’t produce terabytes of daily traffic that needs congestion management.
Don’t just make things up. The idea of Network Neutrality is clearly defined, and doesn’t involve viewpoint.
Here’s some of those clear definitions
Cambridge Dictionary: “Net neutrality is the idea that Internet providers must treat all content equally.”
Brittanica: "net neutrality, principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) should not discriminate among providers of content."
“Traffic congestion” is the reasoning ISPs use to defend subverting net neutrality, but it still results in certain viewpoints being favored over others. If Spectrum decides to throttle Fox News and not CNN, it doesn’t matter if their reasoning is that Fox News uses more bandwidth, the result is still that the viewpoint that Fox espouses is throttled while that of CNN is not. Sure it’s conjecture that is or will happen, but it is the case that the doctrine of net neutrality is what is standing in opposition to it.
