Network neutrality is the idea that internet service providers (ISPs) should treat all data that travels over their networks fairly, without discrimination in favor of particular apps, sites or services

The FCC will meet on October 19th to vote on proposing Title II reclassification that would support accompanying net neutrality protections

Not sure if that holds

They're not stopping competition, they're gatekeeping access to their system

Competition is allowed still, for example, the site were using right now to communicate this very conversation

They are stopping competition. They didn't want superior 3rd party apps competing with their super shitty app just before a proposed IPO.
