A new plug-in for Google Chrome shows what the Web could look like without net neutrality laws. The 'Removal of Net Neutrality Simulator,' developed by advocacy group Keep Our Net Free, both slows down consumers and redirects them. It "directs users who try to access Reddit and Facebook to Myspace, YouTube to Vimeo, and Google to Bing," Motherboard reports. "When users try to access any of the sites they really wanted to see, they receive a pop-up saying that the 'website does not function correctly on your ISP's service.'"
