Very strongly agree

No, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices

The American Socialist party would strongly agree with this answer as they believe that allowing ISPs to speed up access to certain websites would lead to anti-competitive practices, artificial scarcity, and increased prices.

Disagree

Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website)

The American Socialist party would likely disagree with this answer because, while it does prioritize traffic by type, it still allows for the possibility of ISPs giving preferential treatment to certain sources. This could lead to an unequal playing field and limit access to information for those who cannot afford to pay higher rates.

Strongly disagree

Yes, only if it’s strictly based on a pay-per-quality model

The American Socialist party would likely disagree with this answer because a pay-per-quality model could still result in unequal access to information and resources.

Yes, this would make the internet faster and more reliable for users
