Additionally, once that access is granted, it isn't always clear what's actually done with the data.[^1] If an app asks for access to sensitive data, it's worth considering what they intend to use it for and how securely it might be stored should they copy it off of your device.

+This is, of course, nonsense as the article goes on to explain. Comcast and so many of the other players in the net neutrality argument appear to either miss or intentionally bury the point: in the absence of competition, consumers and the open internet need net neutrality protections. Failing that, customers need dramatically more choice in selecting an ISP.

+Comcast would love to gut those protections, double dip by charging competitors for access to its network before then passing those costs on to its reluctant customers. If Comcast is frustrated at losing revenue to new competitors it should make products people actually want to use and that compete rather than focusing on strong arming regulatory bodies intended to protect consumers from exactly this kind of behavior.

ISPs have also told their investors that the rules have not harmed network investment, an important factor because publicly traded companies are required to give investors accurate financial information, including a description of risk factors involved in investing in the company.<!-- excerpt -->
+
+ISPs and the FCC have been pushing this misleading argument for the entirety of the current debate around net neutrality. You can't argue to the FCC that net neutrality has harmed investment while making the opposite claim to investors. Proponents of repealing title II regulations are either lying or being deliberately disingenuous.
+
+> Without the rules against blocking and throttling websites and online services, ISPs "will be subject to economic and political pressures to choke off unpopular conversations or speed up viewpoints supported by the politically dominant," Democrats wrote.

Their abuses would only get worse should those protections be rolled back.
+
+> While the Republican-controlled Congress recently eliminated privacy rules that protect consumers from ISPs, the Title II authority over common carriers that the FCC uses to enforce net neutrality rules still imposes some basic privacy protections.
+
+This goes without saying, but losing even more privacy protections _only_ benefits ISPs. Invasive tracking and advertising is bad enough without granting large companies the freedom to take it further.
+
+> The net neutrality rule that forbids ISPs from charging websites for faster access to consumers is important for small businesses that won't be able to afford paid prioritization, the Democrats wrote.
+
+This is, perhaps, one of the most compelling arguments for leaving net neutrality protections in place. ISPs should not be able to hamper new potential competitors that depend on network access simply due to their market position. If ISPs want to compete against, say, Netflix they should make a service that actually appeals to consumers.

Such a ruling could prevent future FCCs from implementing net neutrality rules as strict as the current ones, which outlaw blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization. A ruling for the industry could also prevent future FCCs from reviving other consumer protections that are likely to be overturned by the commission's current Republican majority.<!-- excerpt -->

+None of this would be necessary if ISPs and cable companies were capable of creating and providing services that consumers actually wanted to use. Instead, they pursue legal action to cripple competitors and force consumers to use their, at best, substandard services.

+Spotify has done a lot to make music more accessible and available since it first launched.

+I stopped buying digital music quite a while ago and, while I occasionally spend money on a vinyl release, I spend essentially all of my time listening to music on Spotify's streaming platform. Everyone I know listens to music primarily via one streaming platform or another and Spotify is chief among those — gaining leverage and diversifying the content it offers is going to continue to be key to Spotify's longterm viability as a platform. If that all happens at the expense of labels, I can't help but think we'll all be better for it.
