The loss of network neutrality could mean censorship at the packet level
Net neutrality is a longstanding digital principle that internet service providers should treat all web traffic equally and fairly. This means providers cannot prefer one website or service over the other by granting unequal loading speeds or by blocking or slowing content.
Steve Wozniak in my opinion makes a good point. Network Neutrality is important for reasons most people don't discuss. One of the reasons it is important is due to the fact that corporations can be pressured to censor anything from search results to throttling down activities or websites so that access to them is slower. For example suppose Steemit is on the list of sites which for some reason shareholders are against? The result could be that people trying to access steemit.com could face an "access delaying" slowdown.
Slowdown might not stop people from going to censored locations on the Internet but the it can discourage people from going to sites not preferred or authorized. This could mean that "fake news" sites could also be slowed down or "access delayed" by companies trying to protect their reputation in the United States. While the US government might not be able to put in place an Internet kill switch, the removal of network neutrality allows for bias at the pipe levels to discourage or encourage traffic to the sites the government (or the shareholders influenced by the government) prefers.
