Truthfully I'm outraged about a lot of things lately, but the reason I care so much about net neutrality is because for me it's become nearly synonymous with freedom of speech. News organizations barely print newspapers anymore it's all online, magazines likewise. If you allow for the blocking or throttling(which kills it nearly the same) of information it creates a potential method of abuse. I believe that a democratic society, even a democratic republic such as ours will lose the voice of the people when we lose net neutrality. I'm not sure democracy can survive without a freedom of speech that can be heard. This is the front lines of our defense for democracy. Other issues are important sure but I have little faith in our ability to solve them if this is broken. So much of our government is already broken, without the means to communicate, to spread information and to let our voices be heard, it can only get worse. I think the ISP's won't act out too strongly too soon, as there would be riots and also there is a lawsuit to see if the fcc was even allowed to do what it did, I think they will wait to see the courts ruling, and if it goes in their favor then the big changes will come.
