Internet neutrality means that Internet providers and governments must treat all users in one form without distinction of any kind, content, location, application, platform, tools used or method of communication.
Internet neutrality is not born today, but dates back to 2015 under President Barack Obama, when a set of laws that define the behavior of Internet service providers, on the basis of which Internet services are treated as utilities or public services subject to regulatory laws. Which obliges Internet companies to deal with all digital content with complete impartiality, without preferring a service or website to another.
The principle of Internet neutrality In short, Internet service providers are not allowed to add to their consumers more financial costs for quick access, for example, to YouTube, Netflix or any other site, meaning that the site is faster for those who pay more. This principle also deters these companies from imposing restrictions on certain sites on a particular type of content.
The decision by the US Federal Communications Commission on Thursday to kill the rules of net neutrality, which provides for equal access across the Internet for all types of content, is likely to lead companies to be able to control what users can access.
Of course the cancellation of the principle will undoubtedly have serious repercussions both on the cost of communication with the user as well as competition between sites, as well as freedom of expression and political views, as we know freedom from the advantages of the Internet as anyone can record video or create a site criticizing anything even the head of state, Or giving opinions on various issues that have returned to you the opportunity to speak in official channels. Abolishing the principle of Internet neutrality means that companies can suppress your voice by blocking or slowing news sites for any reason.
The abolition of Internet neutrality may take months before it becomes effective, and then it is expected that American companies will raise the balance and members of lawsuits against this decision in the United States. But if all these efforts failed and the decision was implemented, be sure dear Arab that the Arab countries will be The following countries that would strongly like to adopt the same or more repressive law.
