    The document discusses the history and implications of net neutrality regulations in the United States. It explains that net neutrality ensures equal access to all online content without blocking or favoritism by internet service providers. If net neutrality protections are removed, internet service providers could charge extra for certain content packages or ban other content altogether, potentially stifling innovation. The Federal Communications Commission passed net neutrality rules in 2015 but started overturning them in 2017 under its new Republican leadership.

    The red scare of net neutrality has been around for a while.

    It would trend for a week or


    two, but then ultimately vanish quickly. Right now, we have a neutral net, which means that
    internet service providers give access to all content and applications without favoring or blocking
    any. If net neutrality were to go away, you would have to pay extra for certain internet packages,
    like entertainment, social media, while other content could be completely banned. Back in 2015
    the Federal Communications COmmission (FCC), passed multiple protections for neutrality. In
    December 2017, motions started to overrule the protections. Now, the FCC is republican run,
    rather than its democratic predecessors. What does this mean if net neutrality is revoked? The
    internet would cost a lot more to use to get the content you want, and it would also stall
    innovation as resources will be harder to find and create.
