Democrats largely want to keep net neutrality under FCC, Republicans want it under FTC.

The FTC Chairman is Republican Maureen K. Ohlhausen that went to Antonin Scalia Law School.

Net neutrality has nothing to do with censorship, though censorship it is usually always bad. If you remember, Republicans used the FCC after the Janet Jackson Superbowl exposure event.

The right does want to make NN about censorship for some reason which I do not understand how equal access to every packet is censorship. Without net neutrality there will be more censorship because you'll only see what Comcast/Disney wants you to see. They want the right to inspect packets and slow down certain packets, this will lead to other bad surveillance encroachments as well without NN.
