Net Neutrality Policy Analysis

On June 12, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission adopted the Net Neutrality policy. This policy was put in place in order to protect the securities and freedoms of the general public’s use of the internet. This protective and freeing policy, however, has been taken away as of December 14, 2017. The repeal of Net Neutrality is potentially hurtful and constricting to a large majority of Americans and therefore should be overturned. The repeal of Net Neutrality must be overturned because the American people deserve a free and open internet that allows the thoughts of the people to be freely expressed, and for users to be able to stream content and information freely. Without the protection provided by Net Neutrality, Americans will not

experience freedom on the internet as they previously have.
The first amendment dictates that Americans hold a right to the freedom of expression, the freedom of speech. As the internet and technology are increasingly ingrained in everyday life, self expression continues to flourish through the ease of internet access. As President, you yourself experience this freedom of opinion and expression through multiple social media platforms. Without Net Neutrality, your service provider holds the ability to alter your feed to meet their own agenda. Network providers will be able to hold back certain content and push their own opinions onto the public, inhibiting your American citizens from being fully informed and knowledgeable about the world around them. In order to be the President of a freely expressed and thoroughly informed nation, the repeal of Net Neutrality must be overturned.
The internet holds such a vast amount of knowledge and content that couldn’t be fully grasped within the average person’s life. This knowledge should undoubtedly be free and easily accessible to everyone, however, the repeal of Net Neutrality threatens this freedom. Without the protections offered by Net Neutrality, extra charges and slowing down of a user’s service are likely. Without companies and networks being held up to rules keeping users safe, service providers have the opportunity to mess with the once open, free, and protected internet.
To conclude, to overturn the repeal of Net Neutrality would benefit the American People and offer much needed protections. Keeping the internet free and open means being that more and more people are allowed to grow, experience, and learn things through the internet uninhibited. The repeal of Net Neutrality must be overturned in order to allow the thoughts of the people to be freely expressed, and for users to be able to stream content and information freely. Without the protection provided by Net Neutrality, Americans will not experience freedom on the internet as they previously have.
