Net neutrality is a simple concept but a dense and often technical issue normally discussed in tech and telecom circles. Net neutrality also has triggered discussions all over social media, even in groups that typically don't discuss tech policy. The liberal organization MoveOn is urging Americans to speak up for net neutrality. Some Democrats are hoping that any rollback of net neutrality rules will become a campaign rallying cry in 2018 and beyond. One man was charged in November with threatening to kill U.S. Rep. John Katko and his family if the New York Republican didn't support net neutrality.
