It would be great to get things like this out of the hands of arbitrary-law-makers (aka regulators).
I don't want the government monitoring or restricting my internet. I would like the government to prevent companies from doing that to me.
I think this is a distinction without a difference.
It isn't a restriction of free speech. It's a restriction on what the newspapers can print to deliver the speech.
It's a restriction on bus drivers refusing passengers based on what newspaper they're reading.
That said, you do realize that the Tom Wheeler whose appointment is your go-to example of regulatory capture is the guy who appears to want to classify ISPs under Title II, don't you? That is, a former lobbyist for the telecoms is proposing a regulation that's counter to their interests, so they're buying a law to bar him, and the regulatory agency he works for, from doing that. Which is the corrupt side, again?
Also, hold them accountable how? With an incumbency rate > 90%, and congresscritters being all but necessarily for sale in order to finance their campaigns, how exactly does the farce of democracy and republicanism (note: small-r) that we have in the US punish the bad actors?
