We drew a disturbing picture of something the Internet may see like if the FCC moves ahead with its proposal to roll back net neutrality protections: ISPs prioritizing their preferred content origins and deprioritizing everything else. The battle for the Tomorrow has set together with a vast collection of illustrations of how sites engaged in the day of action.
Today has been regarding Internet users over the nation who are scared of huge ISPs taking too complete say in how we use the Internet. Voices reached from huge companies to ordinary Internet users like you and us.
Collectively with Fight for the Net and other supporters, we delivered 1.6 million explanations to the FCC, cracking the record we set when Internet Slowdown Day in 2014. The letter was clear: we all rely on the Internet. Don’t destroy net neutrality protections.
If you haven’t joined your voice yet, it’s not too late. Take a few minutes to tell the FCC why net neutrality is necessary to you. If you already have, take a time to support your friends to do the same.
“We live in an uncompetitive broadband business. That business is dominated by a few of giant corporations that are transpiring given the keys to developing telecom policy. The big internet companies that sway challenge them are making it half-heartedly. And FCC Chairman Ajit Pai seems set to offer up a large corporate handout without hearing to everyday Americans.
“Is this something you want? Makes this sound like a path moving better, faster, cheaper internet access? Moving better goods and services in a more aggressive market? To me, it seems like Americans need to demand that our government really hear their concerns, look at their skyrocketing bills, and make actual policy that respects them, instead of seeing the staff of an unelected official laugh as They ignores us. It sounds like we want to flood the offices of the FCC and Congress with requests and paperwork, asking to know how giving handouts to huge corporations will help us.”
