Net Neutrality is a big issue that most people outside the tech community aren't paying any attention to. Basically net neutrality means that Internet Service Providers or ISP's for short can't create fast lanes on the internet to get their websites and shows to you faster than anyone else. It works like this with net neutrality a company like Netflix can't pay someone like Comcast for faster service over another website like Hulu. The internet was created as an open medium, it was founded on the principle that nothing on the internet shall be given priority or nothing discriminated against and that is net neutrality. ISP's stand to gain a lot a lot of money if they succeed in bringing down net neutrality, which is currently under debate with the FCC. I think its an interesting topic for the future of the internet. Let me know what you think.
