> Net neutrality is literally constraint on how data passing through networks can be routed and shaped.
That's arguing that opposition to putting a dam in a river to alter its natural course is a constraint, because it constrains the placement of dams.
> Net neutrality only really helps established players.
Good for them. For once they're on the right side of an argument.
> Unestablished unpopular players are not the ones getting throttled.
How is that an argument in favour of anyone getting throttled at the whim of the ISPs?
> The one who would be getting throttled is primarily Netflix, who literally uses over half of the bandwidth of the Internet.
Once again: good for them. On the provider side: if bandwidth is a scarcity, data plan prices should reflect that. No need to give them the power to ghettoise the Internet.
