EOTO #2

 Net neutrality has become a hot topic in the tech industry over the last 5 to 10 years with its controversy. There was a huge discussion about the net neutrality getting repealed and how that caused so much anger and confusion among the average american. At the time, I was simply just confused on what net neutrality even was and how it affected both my life and lifestyle as a whole. Net neutrality is that internet users are not to be discriminated against based on how much they pay for their internet service and that it essentially makes the users equal. This has been proven to be false with different electronic devices slowing users down. There have also been problems with different network providers for internet and cell phone service as well. This causes problems between the users and their income level. As someone who agrees with the act, people should have access to internet access regardless of the service and plan they purchase. Unfortunately, this has not been the case which is why it was almost repealed at one point in November of 2017. This was a major step in the controversy as I had mentioned earlier. Net Neutrality is a major issue in this case and the big tech companies like Google and Apple are to blame. Apple has been known to slow connection speeds for specific and certain kinds of users. Google has never been in the clear either when it comes to these types of issues as they have contributed similarly like Apple has as well.
