US regulators have halted closed-door meetings intended to find a way to make sure all web data is treated equally.


I hope for you that net neutrality will remain uncompromised.

I don't see anything like this passing soon, even the Democrats are about 75% against it

Do you mean that net neutrality will not be protected? That sucks.

If it will be like that, things are going to be interesting in Europe, especially if the EU adopts strong legislation on net neutrality (something that seems dubious to me right now) I wonder how they'd deal with the asymmetry.

Sorry, I should have clarified
about 75% of Democrats are against regulating net neutrality

Net neutrality is worth fighting for.

That is a shame. What is the libertarian stance on it? I can see them going both ways, though their mercurialism probably makes them supportive.

Net neutrality is worth killing hugging a hoodie for.

Most Libertarians run with the Democrats, so the 25% that would vote in favor are probably the libertarians

Actually, I think the Libertarians oppose regulation. It seems consistent with their usual quaint ambivalence.

I am aware it is a blog, but the Ludwig von Mises Institute is an important Libertarian doublethink tank.
