Over a bunch of unaccountable bureaucrats, hell yes. Because any corporation that oversteps its bounds will open itself up to competition.

In what universe is corporate or government censorship a good thing? I don't need government or some nanny corporation to digest my food for me and then spit it out and say eat.

I'm much more worried about government censorship than corporate. If CNN censors the news they give me, I can go to PBS or Fox or BBC and get a different slant. If the government censors what I can watch, there's not much I can do about it legally.

And you think unaccountable government bureaucrats won't be spoon-feeding you and telling you what is acceptable to read, see, or believe? How naive are you?

Yes, I'm willing to put up with all the problems we had before net neutrality.
