Deep dives
The concept of net neutrality
Net neutrality is the idea that internet service providers (ISPs) should not be able to control or limit access to certain websites or content. It ensures that all online content is treated equally and that ISPs cannot prioritize or charge extra for faster access to certain websites. Net neutrality is seen as a way to keep the internet open, fair, and accessible for everyone.
