Answer 1

Answer:------------

Net Neutrality is a principle affirming that all Internet Service Providers must treat all data on the internet equally. They must not discriminate against certain services, users, content, applications, or methods of communication.

Under Net Neutrality regulations, an ISP is not allowed to intentionally block, nor slow down specific content or websites. Nor is an ISP allowed to charge additional fees for access to certain internet services.

Net Neutrality means an ISP (e.g., Comcast, Cox, Time Warner Cable) is not allowed to deny access to, charge extra for, or deliberately slow down an internet related service or website.
