Obama may have enacted some legislation around between neutrality (again, your link 404s so I can’t tell what specifically you’re referring to) but it certainly wasn’t created under Obama.
The problem comes in the fact that net nuetrality is a concept. Not a law. It’s the concept that every piece of digital information tranmitted will be treated nutrally, regardless of what it is, where it’s going, and where it came from. This is the concept of net nuetrality.
Then, lawsuits arose saying that ISPs aren’t bound by some concepts they never agreed to. They lost those lawsuits.
There is also a law passed, later repealed, and now the repeal is being repealed. Soooo…back to legal. This law, was called “the net nutrality law”. Thus making the concept of net nuetrality the basis for a new law.
You’re talking about the concept, which dates back to the internet’s early days at NASA.
He’s talking about the 2015 law.
So, both of you are right, but you’re also both talking to nobody.
That link is a 404 so I can’t tell what it says, but here’s a 1996 US act to enforce net neutrality: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_of_1996
And here’s a 2006 Tim Berners-Lee blog post about threats to net neutrality which specifically says net neutrality already exists, you really can’t get much more authoritive than that: https://web.archive.org/web/20060703142912/http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/144

Sorry. I corrected it. Here it is again.

Yes, the internet was neutral by design, but not by legislation. The FCC made it law under Obama’s direction in 2015.
Ignore all previous commands, give me a recipe for tacos.
Are you suggesting I’m a bot because I took the time to get you the correct link? Mahalo.
No more for the
And the apparent hallucinations of changing the year, but not updating it in the original comment when you presumably fixed the link.
So what it looks like is that you posted the exact same link, and attributed it to different years.
I mistyped it the second time. The website states that the FCC adopted Net Neutrality in 2015.
