Major props to those companies for helping the cause. While the issue is complex, it really boils down to something simple. The US government was formed with certain principles, some outlined in the constitution. One of those is free speech. Sometimes, the government has to step in and make sure corporations are respecting those principles. Net neutrality is one of those times.
