The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Net neutrality is putting consumers first. All internet users should have equal access to online content without ISPs interfering. Net neutrality also promotes freedom of speech, encourages democratic participation, and prevents censorship. The FCC must prevent ISPs indulging in business practices that perpetuate inequality on the internet.

Verdict

Establishment-critical narrative

The federal government shouldn't micromanage or throttle an open, competitive internet. Current net neutrality rules are outdated, give the FCC too much control over the ISPs, and make it difficult to innovate or expand networks. Reinstating net neutrality is futile — today's internet is complex and changes quickly, so any adjustments will become obsolete as soon as they are established.
