So Long, Net Neutrality, and Good Riddance.

The article focuses on the recent conclusion of the net neutrality debate following a federal appeals court's decision to strike down the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) net neutrality rules. It outlines the regulatory history, noting the 2015 Open Internet Order under President Obama, its repeal under President Trump, reinstatement under President Biden in 2024, and the latest court ruling. The article argues that despite intense public-policy discussions, these legal changes have not significantly affected users' internet experiences, highlighting that increased bandwidth and market supply have maintained access regardless of regulation. It also critiques alarmist predictions about the internet's collapse without net neutrality and suggests that calls for regulating content often mask efforts to impose censorship rather than truly protect free speech.
