I asked a law professor friend of mine from a prestigious college.
Him: Net neutrality is the principle that network operators shouldn't discriminate unreasonably in the treatment of traffic. E.g., your broadband provider shouldn't block a content site because it competes with their cable service, or’ because they don't pay it a supplemental fee. Having that principle apply widely to the Internet is a very very good thing. The harder question is what legal rules are needed to enforce that principle. The debate right now is about the particular FCC rules adopted in 2015. The broadband companies say they like the principle, but they don't want to be classified as regulated "telecommunications services." The problem is that if the rules are repealed, the result might be no rules at all. So personally, while I didn't think the FCC had to use the particular legal approach it took, I believe they should stay in place.
Hope that clarifies things!
Me: Awesome, that does help. So in a way the current rules give some protection if the service providers did start blocking or throttling. It would give users legal ground to say, stop doing that.
Him: It gives the FCC legal ground to say, stop doing that. And users the legal ground to file a complaint with the FCC.

What is /pol/ position on Net Neutrality? Keep it or get rid of it?

How come the internet isn't doing what it did during SOPA? Is this not as big of an issue? It sounds like it.

If net neutrality does go away then pol will pretty much die

I think it's a massive issue.
Corporations want to charge us for everything. Yet they make billions off the internet. Look how much celluar providers make off cellphone minutes and data plans. Billions in profits. They don't invest in new infrastructure, it's a cow 'us' they are milking.

How so?

No net neutrality means ISPs can slow or block content they don't like. Radical shit like /pol/ is going to be the first thing that gets put up on the chopping block.
You have to be a corporate shill or fucking thick as a brick to support net neutrality.
