Some people think if net neutrality is taken away, that society would collapse. I’m not so pessimistic. Access to information, like a lot of things, is a privilege. Information is like a weapon, it can be used to harm. Certain people need to be restricted from information in order to protect society.
Like all powerful things, information should be regulated. Therefore, people should not have equal access information on the internet.
Think about it.
We have insane amount of competition for job positions. If certain people had less access to online info, that would narrow competition. An uninformed person would blow job interviews. Same with college admissions and school performance. Would it be nice to have less people in college? We would have much more individual attention from professors. The less people who make honor roll or deans list, the higher the value.
Decreased access to the internet would solidify the world hierarchy. United States at the top, Europe next, and then east Asia. Then we have those at the bottom at the world hierarchy. Too much information on their hands would be risky. The West did some bad things, unfortunately. Given enough information, the bottom countries/continents can band together and get revenge.
Last, the idea of reversing net neutrality just sounds good in general. Those with all access can use info as a currency. That is great power. Want something from someone else? Trade info for whatever you need!
