The Internet is currently
the greatest medium for free and open speech. This is because websites
are free to put virtually any content they want on the internet without
being being censored by the internet providers or government.
Conversely, users are able to access virtually any content they want on
the internet. Pro-net neutrality supporters say that without net
neutrality legislation, phone and cable companies may start discriminating
against content providers. They may, for example, block or slow down
competitor's websites. Also, there is fear that a tiered system will be
created where content providers who spend lots of money will be able to
be accessed quickly, and all other websites will be slow.
That those that argue that companies should be able to do
what in a free market, neglect the fact these companies have been
heavily subsidized by government.
