DTube - Did a Cartoon Mouse just kill the internet? Disney Buys Fox As Net Neutrality Vote Looms

Regulations can be good, and it is good in net neutrality. Net neutrality just makes sure that ISP's does not charge you based on the applications you are using.

For example, concider an ISP, lets call it A, has a very good relationship with youtube, but d.tube happens to compete with youtube. So A decides that content from d.tube will be slowed down in order to make people continue to watching youtube instead.

I guess repealing net neutrality comes down to whether you want ISPs to become richer at the cost of getting worse internet.
