^^ Nothing you've said here is accurate. This is the problem with Democrat controlled media. They feed people lies and turn them into hysterical uninformed lunatics.
Title II is completely different than Net Neutrally, and is currently being conflated as such by the left. Currently, they are claiming that Title II IS guaranteeing Net Neutrality, and that if it is rolled back there are no protections or guarantees that Americans will be able to access the same set of information or web sites. What Title II actually is, is a convoluted set of rules that were originally applied in the 1930s as part of the Communications Act. Part of Title II, which again was originally developed when we had rotary phones, is that ISPs are subject to universal service requirements: people in rural areas are required to be provided access at the cost of the service provider, in the same sense that phone companies are required to wire all houses in America regardless of how far or inaccessible.
Summary of the biggest problems:
1) Title II will very easily send already high internet prices skyrocketing with decreased levels of service. In addition to giving the FCC the power to demand that ISPs wire every house in America, Title II also gives the FCC the ability to set costs for internet usage removing potential marketplace competition and then sets ISP lobbyists up to campaign for higher internet costs.
2) It increases the Federal Government’s ability to spy on U.S. citizens. As originally leaked by Edward Snowden, the Fed has been working on building a global infrastructure, capable of spying on any citizen and accessing their personal information, since the Bush administration. Title II regulation give the Fed infinitely more control to pressure the corporation of ISPs in allowing them access to whatever they want. A parallel situation has already played out in the case of now-defunct secure email service Lavabit.
3) The threat to Internet freedom is NOT ISPs, it is the Federal Government. AT&T and other major US carriers have frequently said they support actual net neutrality, and they rightly should. If ISPs started regulating what information could go to whom, and they prioritized their content over that of a competitor, then there would be MASS rebellion against them. To give a division of the Fed such a broad scope of power and cost regulation over ISPs would dramatically hurt building a more robust broadband US infrastructure while simultaneously further hampering marketplace competition.
