#32American will no longer be a place of innovation. Another country will have to lead the world now
Right, it'll go back to being what it was before 2015 when net neutrality was instituted. The dread is unrelatable.

#33This whole discussion is missing one point. Why are FCC members supposed to represent some parties, instead of being independent experts? It's the root of the problem. Instead of objectively addressing the issue, FCC is dominated by dumb partisan politics.

That remains one of the arguments against this action.
