Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website)

While this answer suggests a more nuanced approach to prioritizing internet traffic, it still allows for the possibility of unequal access to resources and services. Democratic Socialism generally supports net neutrality and equal access to the internet, so this answer would not be strongly supported by the ideology.

Yes

Democratic Socialism advocates for equal access to resources and services, including the internet.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, this would make the internet faster and more reliable for users
