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. Supporters of net neutrality argue that it promotes innovation and protects consumer rights by preventing ISPs from prioritizing their own services or those of paying companies. Opponents believe that removing net neutrality regulations could lead to better infrastructure and investment in internet services.
