But what does net neutrality mean?

Net neutrality sees the Internet as a public good.

This unwritten rule was reinforced by Barack Obama and the European Parliament in 2015. It is based on two main principles:

the first is that of the equal treatment of information flows. This means that network access providers, called ISPs (Orange, SFR, or Free) do not have the right to promote access to one information over another. the source, the recipient or the type of information;

the second principle is that of non-discrimination. If we imagine the network as a highway whose traffic is managed by the access providers, the principle of neutrality prevents them from slowing down or blocking a car according to its origin, its destination or the opinions of its passengers. Thus, this principle of non-discrimination guarantees freedom of expression and our fundamental freedoms because net neutrality limits telecommunications companies to the role of simple transmitters that can not restrict access to information.
