I am unfortunately not very tech-savvy(I’m better at it than my parents lol but that’s not saying much) but I would like to know more(just a bit at a time, not like my friends in middle school who built their own PCs which is apparently kinda common among tech/gaming hobbyists with a bit of money but I was absolutely blown away). When I was in HS, there was the whole Ajit Pai thing and talk about Net Neutrality. It quickly blew over and people didn’t talk about it much. Basically TL;DR What is it? How does it differentiate from not having net neutrality and what are Marxist opinions on it?

    To be clear, the practice that was becoming popular around the time that net neutrality was a more national topic were things like: TMobile exempting Netflix data from your data cap.

    I don’t recall more examples but that’s one that stands out. Cable internet providers would LOVE to turn the internet into cable TV where you need to subscribe to the “streaming” package to get premium speeds to Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, etc.
