Net neutrality is fairness. Access isn&#x27;t fair if it isn&#x27;t neutral.<p>Anyone telling you otherwise (Ajit Pai) doesn&#x27;t care about you.

&gt; His official FCC Twitter account, where he antagonized people who criticized him, has been deleted.<p>Are gov&#x27;t officials allowed to delete their official use Twitter (and any social media) accounts just like that? I would think posts should be archived or put in read only mode for posterity?
