Re: I think Net Neutrality should stick around...

As a matter of Constitutional law, an ISP throttling traffic is not a speech issue unless the government is the ISP.
Actually, you're wrong. Cases can be made that access to news, regardless of whom, and information is a Constitutional 1st Amendment issue. It could also be a violation of Interstate Commerce laws, which derive from the Constitution as all Federal Law does.

Wrong. Throttling is not a speech issue. Maybe an interstate commerce issue but not restraint of free speech. But who cares. Certainly nobody here.

The 1st Amendment only protect you from the government. Any private establishment, or network, can tell you to shut up on their property.

Of course, since networks are built in public land, that begs the question of maybe you're right.
