Net Neutrality isn't about taking away rights. What it's trying to ensure is that internet providers, like AT&amp;T, don't restrict or emphasize content for their own profit motives.<div>
</div><div>For example, people who use Peer 2 Peer file sharing programs have had this traffic blocked or limited by ISPs. While it is true that a lot of that traffic is piracy related, not all of it is, and once you start regulating one thing, what's to stop the ISPs from regulating other traffic that they deem detrimental to their own motives?</div><div>
</div><div>The intervention by the government is to prevent control of the internet from companies who care only for profit and nothing else. It's goal to help ensure that the internet continues the free flow of information that it currently (mostly) enjoys.</div>
