It's interesting that NN opponents seem to have more long-lasting motivation than NN advocates, judging from top level comments here vs. a year or two ago.

- acdha 9y agoThat comes back to money. Billion dollar companies have people on salary pushing opposition directly, astroturfing editorials and think-tank pieces, etc. and one of the big things they've been pushing are alternate definitions of what network neutrality means. A key part of this is the GOP's big shift towards ideological purity tests over the last 20 years. Party line messaging obedience is expected to a much higher degree now and since network neutrality was successfully politicized many people go along with the statements even though it's bad for them personally and violates the principles they believe in.
