the principle advocating for <strong>the impartial treatment of internet traffic by intermediate networks, <\/strong>without discrimination based on any criteria.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><li>This means that the network should remain neutral to all information transmitted through it.\u00a0<\/li><li>In the context of net neutrality, all communication passing through a network should be treated equally,

influence of the websites they use, has equal access to information and services on the internet.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li><li>The term &#8220;net neutrality&#8221; gained prominence through <strong>Tim Wu<\/strong>, a professor at <strong>Columbia Law School,<\/strong> who popularized it in his <strong>2003<\/strong> paper titled <strong>&#8220;Network Neutrality, Broadband

prioritize certain websites with higher connection speeds while throttling access to others. In extreme cases, an ISP might even block access to specific content.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Empowers Consumer Choice:<\/strong> Net neutrality grants consumers the freedom to choose the content, applications, and services they wish to access without limitations. It liberates them from being confined to a predetermined set of offerings dictated by ISPs.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Preserves Freedom of Expression:<\/strong> By preventing interference, net neutrality safeguards the freedom of expression, allowing individuals to organize, communicate, and mobilize supporters unhindered. It stands as a crucial tool for democratic engagement.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Encourages Innovation:<\/strong> An open internet creates an environment conducive to innovation and competition. Startups, small businesses, and entrepreneurs enjoy equal opportunities to launch new services and connect with users, eliminating the necessity to negotiate deals with ISPs.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Curbs Anti-Competitive Practices: <\/strong>Net neutrality rules act as a safeguard against potential anti-competitive behaviour by ISPs, such as favouring their own content or services or those of their partners.
