Net Neutrality is the principle that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) must treat all data on the internet equally. This means that ISPs cannot block, slow down, or charge extra fees for specific websites or online services. The goal of net neutrality is to ensure a free and open internet where users can access any content without interference. Without net neutrality, ISPs could prioritize their own services or those of companies that pay for better access, potentially harming smaller businesses and limiting consumer choice. Advocates argue that maintaining net neutrality is essential for innovation, free speech, and fair competition in the digital landscape.
