The new proposed net neutrality regulations would allow the same practices that net neutrality was first invoked to prevent, even if these ISP practices end up inflicting collateral damage on perfectly lawful content and activities."

But that might actually be effective, which doesn't seem to be the tactic people tend to go with.

Who could have predicted that more government regulation of the Internet might have a downside?
