Yup, how horrible that people actually want less regulation. Everyone should just agree with you and we'll all get along splendidly!

If your ISP is a monopoly, they can do whatever they want if left unregulated. They can literally charge you whatever they want.
Zero-rated services are zero-rated because you pay for them indirectly. I guess losing access to them would be a downside, and would prevent Facebook from becoming even more entrenched, which they certainly don't want. It doesn't do anything for internet freedom, though. You might as well say "well the internet to me is Facebook, so I don't care if the internet is free, I just want it to run Facebook".
PS: an advice: If you cannot think of a single argument against your own position you're not ready to have a dialog.
If you think that zero-rated services save you money, all that is happening is that you don't understand how you pay for it. So, maybe it is time to find out how you do pay for it?
The zero-rated services themselves.
You want less government regulation, in favor of more corporate 'regulation'. That does indeed sound horrible to me.
It seems that some people just hear REGULATION and freak out, without realizing that they rely heavily on regulation every day to get safely to work and not have their house confiscated.
