So if this net neutrality was allowed we would have a lot of riots many people not paying for internet not paying Verizon, at&t and all of the other companies because they would be allowed.ten years ago this would have not been much of an issue because the internet was not really popular and wasn't as booing as it is now but because of how everything has evolved it is now a big crisis. Neutrality is a doom for modern society and not a good thing. To get a sense of how things will be different, look no further than AT&T’s new product called Direct-TV Now, which lets users stream content from Direct-TV (which AT&T owns) over the wireless network without it counting against their monthly data cap. The general practice of letting wireless users stream video for free is known in the industry as “zero rating.” Under the Open Internet Order, the FCC has the authority to police zero-rated services on a case-by-case basis, and late last year the agency expressed “serious concerns” that AT&T was unfairly favoring its own content. Pai’s FCC, on the other hand, will likely encourage such …show more content…

""Without net neutrality rules in place, ISPs like Verizon and Comcast can prevent users from visiting some websites, provide slower speeds for services like Netflix and Hulu, or even redirect users from one website to a competing website. Net neutrality rules prevent this by requiring ISPs to connect users to all lawful content on the internet equally, without giving preferential treatment to certain sites or services.""
""In January 2014, as a result of a Verizon lawsuit, the D.C. District Court struck down the FCC’s net neutrality rules. While the Court made clear that the FCC has authority over internet access generally, it found that the open internet rules specifically were built on a flawed legal foundation.

Net-neutrality is the principle that providers of Internet services enable access to all contents with no prejudice or discrimination against sites or products regardless of the source.

The rule will not only reverse the rules set by the 2015 decision, but will also decide whether the regulations were needed to begin with. Supporters of the other side (pro net neutrality) believe that this rule will destroy Internet freedom and worry about the true motives of broadband providers. They question whether or not these companies will put the best interests of the public first and foremost, over any sort of monetary gain. During the net neutrality era, wireless providers were not able to slow down the speed of competitor streaming services, and could not make a profit through “unethical” means (according to pro net neutralists). Now, these methods are technically allowed under the new rule, even though it is unlikely that ISPs will go to these lengths; many regulations and rules will still exist in order to prevent unethical business.
