In 2003, Tim Wu first coined the phrase “net neutrality” in his paper “Network Neutrality, Broadband Discrimination.” He defined a neutral network as “internet that does not favor one application over another.” Today, the Federal Communications Commission faces a choice: either regulate the entire internet ecosystem as a public utility or do not.

The agency cannot have it both ways. Interim-FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel claims that net neutrality also seeks to prevent companies from serving as a gatekeeper to our online content. The next FCC chair, whomever that may be, will most likely re-institute its Obama-era net neutrality rules (i.e., the Title II Order). One problem: the Title II Order regulated internet service providers, or ISPs, only. Considering that technology companies have more of a penchant for content moderation, are ISPs really the threat here?
