The basic principles of the issue on net neutrality involve large telecommunication giants that the majority of individuals use to access the internet such as Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, and Charter, having the power to control and manipulate data provided and received by individuals over the internet.

This idea of controlling and manipulating data involves various aspects that would be considered unethical, but mainly the fact that these corporations would be able to speed up the speed and traffic of people accessing websites that pay these corporate giants, as well as slowing down the speeds of competitor websites and other websites that do not pay these corporations.

The removal of net neutrality would allow these telecommunication giants to rapidly increase their revenues and profit heavily from payments from websites, which is beneficial from the perspective of these corporate giants as well as the websites paying these corporations as the speeds would be increased. Although from the perspective of other stakeholders such as websites that cannot afford to pay the telecommunication giants and the various users of the internet that use such service providers, the whole concept of net neutrality is unjust and unfair as the previous notion of internet equality and a medium where businesses can prosper is diminished completely.

Due to the oligopolistic nature of the market it is apparent that the removal of net neutrality may occur as the firms would prosper so potentially the only way for such a unethical business model to be stopped would be from government involvement , but the telecommunication lobby in the government may make that very difficult to do. All we can do is appeal and hope that the freedom of the internet does not end and that it does not become a controlled system by the corporations.
