The problem of the argument of most
anti-net neutrality supporters is that it fails to adaquately address
the issue of censorship for the purposes of silencing competitors,
silencing websites critical of the company, or political means. The
Supreme Court ruled in NCTA v. Brand X that the FCC could decide on net
neutrality issues either way. The FCC does have some general principles
concerning net neutrality. The FCC, however, has failed to stop Comcast
from blocking BitTorrent. There are no stated intentions of blocking
websites, and there will probably not be any widespread blocking, but
there have already been some isolated incidents.
