The FCC is planning to roll it back very soon. So basically major companies are going to be able to throttle ISPs unless you buy special packages from them.

Needless to say, this is concerning, namely because when Ajit Pai asked for public input before, he stuck his fingers in his ears and pretended not to hear anyone. In other words, he won't listen to public opinion while gutting consumer protections. The scary thing is, the FCC will likely vote in favour of it.

No ifs ands or buts about it, it is anti-small business. It benefits maybe a handful of major corporations, that's it. Smaller, localised sites could be blocked pretty easily under the new laws.

It's the complete opposite of Republican ideolology. It's a sellout to the biggest corporations for no reason at all. Hell, libertarians should be opposing this as well.

Not disagreeing with you here.
The thrust of my question was however, could Democrats attack this policy as anti-small business?  I think that that could be quite successful if done right.

As an attack ad, it writes itself, don't you think?
