I lean more toward the libertarian/conservative part of the political spectrum, but net neutrality is an issue where the conservatives/republicans got it wrong.

I lean more toward the libertarian/conservative part of the political spectrum, but net neutrality is an issue where the conservatives/republicans got it wrong. Somehow they felt that it was analogous to the "equal time doctrine", which it never has been. In some ways companies such as CloudFlare have solved part of the problem, but issues such as the anti-competitive throttling of competing services by ISPs still need to be addressed. We also still have the problem of media monopolies often being the only available consumer "Internet" service providers, but the "Internet" they provide is often highly monitored, filtered, and shaped.
