The posts below explain the normative policy problems with your view, but fail to point out the biggest flaw: you're simply wrong, as a matter of fact, about what this decision entails.

The majority opinion directly addresses your concerns.

The majority opinion explicitly and unambiguously REJECTS the line of legal reasoning you claim it upholds, and definitely does NOT grant the FCC "plenary" regulatory authority over the internet.

The court carefully points out that is not granting the FCC any authority that was not explicitly granted by the legislative and executive branches. If you don't like net neutrality, take it up with the legislative and executive branches.

There is no slippery slope here, any more or less than democracy itself is a slippery slope.

In short, your reading of the majority opinion is patently incorrect.
