Ask HN: Is net neutrality overblown?
I understand the basics around net neutrality and was disappointed to see the rollback, but I was also surprised at how vehement the reaction was from the tech community.<p>My read of the issue was that:<p>- This will be easy to fix when Trump is replaced<p>- Comcast would be unwise to radically change the status quo when things will likely be &quot;reverted again&quot; in 3 years<p>- Internet companies (and techies) will call out bad behavior on the part of broadband providers if it occurs in practice<p>- This is a nuanced issue; regulating monopolies and utilities isn&#x27;t easy<p>Basically, I see this as a temporary reversion, unlikely to have longer term effects. Yet the outrage is enormous.<p>I&#x27;m surprised that this issue causes such outrage when I see bigger issues that could arguably cause much worse effects - like the essential dismantling of the EPA and environmental protections, which could cause a &quot;tipping point&quot; in climate change which we may <i>not</i> be able to revert and which will have worldwide consequences. Where is the outrage about that?
