So, what's the story with this "Save the Internet" hubbub?

Why in God's name would you think it would be better for the Government or a corporation to control the content on the internet? Why not just burn the US flag and replace it with a Chinese flag.

When you go on to Google and do a search for anything, do you think it is fair for the government to show you what they want you to see? Or for your ISP to show you a product or whatever that pays them the most amount of money??? That is anti free market because a lot of people do not have more than a few choices for internet access (broadband). I currently use Cox high speed, my only other choice is Sprint DSL. Do you think that I want to decide which to use based on which provides the most access to the complete internet?

I apologize. You missed the sarcasm.
