What is net neutrality?
Net neutrality is the idea that internet service providers (ISPs) treat everyone’s data equally – whether that’s an email from your mother, a bank transfer or a streamed episode of Stranger Things. It means that ISPs, which control the delivery pipes, don’t get to choose which data is sent more quickly, and which sites get blocked or throttled (for example, slowing the delivery of a TV show because it is streamed by a video company that competes with a subsidiary of the ISP) and who has to pay extra. For this reason, some have described net neutrality as the “first amendment of the internet”.

Why is net neutrality under threat?
In February 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to more strictly regulate ISPs and to enshrine in law the principles of net neutrality. The vote reclassified wireless and fixed-line broadband service providers as title II “common carriers”, a public utility-type designation that gives the FCC the ability to set rates, open up access to competitors and more closely regulate the industry. Two years on, Trump’s new FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, a former Verizon lawyer, has pushed to overturn the 2015 order arguing they overstep the FCC's jurisdiction and hinder corporate innovation. On 18 May, the FCC voted to support a new proposal that would repeal the order and started a 90-day period in which members of the public could comment. A final vote is expected in December

There are lots of reasons to be against net neutrality as well.
It is not as simple an issue as either side wants to present.
People should do proper research on both sides and not just listen to the fear mongering of one side.

You assume wrong. You seem to think that the govt has only altruistic motives and behaviors in the way they will choose to regulate the internet. I think the politics of recent ... with everything coming out about NSA, etc... should scare all of us and want us to desire these devices to be free of govt regulation. I find it amazing that people are so willing to believe in the evilness of the corporations.. yet have so much faith and trust in the govt. I am not willing to do so .. and value freedom, privacy and a free market.
