Putting applications into fast lanes would violate FCC's no-throttling rule.

    That link is a 404 so I can’t tell what it says, but here’s a 1996 US act to enforce net neutrality: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_of_1996

    And here’s a 2006 Tim Berners-Lee blog post about threats to net neutrality which specifically says net neutrality already exists, you really can’t get much more authoritive than that: https://web.archive.org/web/20060703142912/http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/144

    Obama may have enacted some legislation around between neutrality (again, your link 404s so I can’t tell what specifically you’re referring to) but it certainly wasn’t created under Obama.

      Sorry. I corrected it. Here it is again.

      Yes, the internet was neutral by design, but not by legislation. The FCC made it law under Obama’s direction in 2017.

          Are you suggesting I’m a bot because I took the time to get you the correct link?

            No more for the

            Sorry. I corrected it. Here it is again.

            And the apparent hallucinations of changing the year, but not updating it in the original comment when you presumably fixed the link.

            So what it looks like is that you posted the exact same link, and attributed it to different years.

              I mistyped it the second time. The website states that the FCC adopted Net Neutrality in 2015.
