It’s a common misconception that “net neutrality” exists currently–it does not. There is currently no legal enforcement of neutrality online, and yet it exists because the ISPs realize that this is what their consumers want.

Adding a law to enforce something already in practice is just asking for problems. Anytime you allow Washington to stick their fingers into complex issues, things get mucked up, and the internet will be no different if we allow Washington to meddle with it.
