NET NEUTRALITY: Should the Government Mandate Net Neutrality?

Net neutrality regulations are essential for preserving the openness of the Internet. Lifting these rules will allow Internet service providers to censor or discriminate against content providers, which will hurt start-ups, small businesses, and Internet users.
OPPONENTS ARGUE
The government should maintain a hands-off approach to the Internet, allowing innovation and market forces to work unfettered. Violations of net neutrality are almost nonexistent, and lifting net neutrality rules will not limit freedom on the Internet.
