t’s important because it serves as a “nice” sounding cover story for rationalising allowing our government to take over and control the internet.

The internet has done well without government control, and that needs to be preserved. But the busybodies and power-mongers cannot stand the idea of anything significant not being under their control, so they have to come up with a set of lies to get people to support them taking control of whatever it is.

For the internet, that cover story full of lies is “net neutrality”.
