Net Neutrality

From the American mouth of regulatory czar Cass Sunstein:

"And what if websites refused to acquiesce to this intrusion on free speech? "If we could get voluntary arrangements in that direction, it would be great," Sunstein said at the time, "and if we can't get voluntary arrangements, maybe Congress should hold hearings about mandates." After all, Sunstein went on to say, "the word 'voluntary' is a little complicated. And sometimes people don't do what's best for our society." Mandates, he said, were the "ultimate weapon designed to encourage people to do better."

Definition of authoritarian? Anyone? And what the heck does the sentence in bold mean exactly? It's so vague it's not even worth pondering.
