The problem comes in the fact that net nuetrality is a concept. Not a law. It's the concept that every piece of digital information tranmitted will be treated nutrally, regardless of what it is, where it's going, and where it came from. This is the concept of net nuetrality.

Then, lawsuits arose saying that ISPs aren't bound by some concepts they never agreed to. They lost those lawsuits.

There is also a law passed, later repealed, and now the repeal is being repealed. Soooo.....back to legal. This law, was called "the net nutrality law". Thus making the concept of net nuetrality the basis for a new law.

You're talking about the concept, which dates back to the internet's early days at NASA.

He's talking about the 2015 law.

So, both of you are right, but you're also both talking to nobody.
