What are the implications if the FCC brings back Net Neutrality rules?

Question

I saw a short article about it this evening, but tbh I didn’t pay much attention to the Net Neutrality stuff from years ago so I don’t fully get it. What are the effects if it changes (or doesn’t)?

These two links do a relatively good job explaining it.

Essentially Net Neutrality is telling ISPs that all internet traffic must be treated equally. That you as an ISP can choose which websites have faster access.

Edit – Can’t choose.

ISPs, if given the chance, would prioritize some sites over others. Leading people to use those sites over their competitors. Net Neutrality was like “Nah dog, thats whack. Keep them equal”
