ok ive seen a ton of ppl not understand what not having net neutrality would actually do so i just wanna clear smth up

not having net neutrality will NOT mean you have to pay more to access the internet / certain websites. it means small web-based organizations (such as independent artists who do webcomics) will have to pay more for their website to have reasonably fast loading times. 

this is still really bad, for a number of reasons. said independent artists and other small businesses will not be able to afford to host their websites, making it even easier for large companies like amazon to monopolize the market. social justice nonprofit organizations, such as BLM, would be purposely put at a disadvantage because the companies that control internet speed don’t like them.

here is a post with more info on what net neutrality actually is. please try not to spread misinformation!
