It’s impossible to overstate the importance of net neutrality. Without
it, ISP will be able to decide which sides you can or cannot visit.

Imagine your phone company not letting you dial the number to Sears, or
only letting you dial Hertz if you are looking for rental cars, and you
get an idea of what losing net neutrality means.

According to your link, AT&T, Comcast and Verizon want to block
certain sites and/or web activities from it's customer base. Do you
have any more specific information as to what exactly they were/are
trying to block? I haven't heard any of this.

I know Comcast has already admitted to allowing certain customers faster
access while the rest of us are throttled. This is after they repeatedly
denied doing what they were accused of.

Supposedly they no longer do this.
