That Cruz quote is insane. Net neutrality will not be easily sold to the public as “radically left-wing”. Nobody is going to believe that shit.

It literally has neutrality right in the name!

It’s not the name that makes it a centrist policy, it’s substance.

Hell, if policy names reflected their substance, then the GOP’s “protect children” initiatives would prioritize gun violence and not hating on RuPaul.

Yes, I know. Right on.

T-Mobile, a US mobile carrier, currently throttles video streams to 480p. It's a pretty bad experience and I look forward to seeing it end.

Have 4 different devices on T-Mobile, all stream at 1080, no clue what you're talking about.

During "peak hours" certain unlimited plans are throttled to 480p. It doesn't always happen.

The prior rules didn't say much about mobile carriers, and the new ones probably won't either

It will get a new name given to it. Each perspective develops their own terminology in order to make their opponents stances seem less appealing.

The Affordable Care Act became Obamacare, because the name instills a partisan lean. And gun control became gun violence prevention because politicians realized advocating for "_____ Control" sounds authoritarian.
