Net neutrality was the standard before 2015, the ISP's challenged it in court, forcing the FCC to declare broadband internet among Title II carriers and thus preserving the status quo for internet access. With the recent "decision" from the FCC control of the internet has been effectively handed over to the likes of Verizon, Comcast and their ilk to exploit and monetize to their benefit.

Meanwhile, the EU has enforced strong laws concerning net neutrality and it has benefited the populace immensely.
