Net Neutrality

The idea of Net Neutrality is a currently a widely discussed topic. The term Net Neutrality essentially refers to an open and free internet experience for everyone, stressing the idea of equality on the internet. It is a principle that Internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the internet equally. The main problems that Net Neutrality is trying to deal with are ISPs and governments discriminating, and charging different rates depending on the user and what content, apps or platforms that user is experiencing. Those in favor Net Neutrality, such as Tim Berners-Lee, believe that that people should be free to use the internet in whatever way they choose without having to worry about being charged different rates. One who spends all of their internet usage on Netflix should not be charged more than one who uses their internet usage on YouTube, assuming all other factors are consistent between both parties.
