summary
In this opinion piece, the author discusses the potential consequences of losing net neutrality on the internet. Net neutrality is the principle that all internet traffic should be treated equally by internet service providers (ISPs). The author argues that without net neutrality, ISPs could prioritize certain content, creating a tiered internet where some websites and services load faster or become more accessible than others. This could lead to a loss of competition, innovation, and free expression. The author urges readers to understand the importance of net neutrality and to advocate for its preservation.
