Question for all the Net Neutrality proponents, and let's try to keep this civil
If the regulation that the FCC wants to roll back never entered force, how will anything change?
I don't necessarily disagree with the regulations that were written up but if they were never in force, how will preventing them from taking effect be the end of open internet? That seems like status quo.

ISPs started to look for loopholes in past legislation to weasel their asses out of net neutrality. The current legislation exists to keep net neutrality for long term. Obviously, ISPs don't want that. That's why rolling back isn't good. It's also a bad message. If ISPs get what they want they will keep pushing and trying for more.
The system how it is run now is less profitable for ISPs, because it makes it hard for them to budget customers below their actual contractual agreements. ISPs want you to pay up decent money while only using minuscule amounts of data and bandwidth. They underestimated Netflix and other streaming services. With those in place, every customer is a potential burden on their network.
The whole situation is really straightforward. Only shills will argue against net neutrality. Literally. Only people who directly benefit from fucking over customers have arguments against net neutrality.

Previously Net Neutrality was treated as if it were in effect until the situation changed legally. Right now ISPs likely don't want to risk people becoming aware of the situation and negative consequences to them by inconveniencing normies severely enough that they would complain and prevent a rollback.
