Myth: "Net neutrality" means government control of information on the internet. |
Reality
Net neutrality means that the government will prevent ISPs from charging customers different amounts for access to different parts of the internet, such as different web sites or different IP ports. It has nothing to do with the content available via those sites or ports; if anything, it prevents the ISPs from controlling content by selectively blocking or hindering their customers' access.
