LISTEN UP!!!!!! NET NEUTRALITY ENDS APRIL 23RD

We put up a good fight…but now we only have 60 days to turn this around. There is still ONE thing we can all do!!!!!

There’s something called the Congressional Review Act (CRA) that can be used to stop the FCC. We just need ONE MORE VOTE to win the Senate!!!

For those who missed my last giant post a few months ago, last year, the FCC voted to repeal the Obama regulations designed to protect a fair and open internet. If these regulations are knocked down, providers like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon will have EVERY RIGHT to slow down internet speeds to those who aren’t on their more expensive plans. Even further, they have the power to censor and regulate what we see online. MORE further, they’d even have the power to slow down competitors’ streaming speeds, like Netflix, to make their own services more appealing. THIS SHIT IS NOT RIGHT!!!!!

First thing you can do is to GET OFF YOUR ASS (OR ON IT IF YOU’RE AT A COMPUTER…) and take 20 seconds to sign this!!!! Second thing is to SHARE THIS CAMPAIGN WITH EVERYONE!!!

SIGN THIS!!!! https://www.battleforthenet.com/onemorevote/

There’s going to be a huge protest on Feb 27th that I’ll be taking part in. The above link goes into detail on what YOU can do on that day. Please guys. Don’t just sit there and let this happen. THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE! THIS IS OUR INTERNET!!!! NOW FUCKING DO SOMETHING!!!!

One thing I’ve noticed about this thing is that a lot of people think “oh since this is really important, lots of people will be doing this, so I’m not going to bother.”

PLEASE BOTHER!!!!! MINDSETS LIKE THIS CAN AND WILL STAND IN THE WAY OF WINNING BACK OUR RIGHTS!!!!!!!!

CALL RIGHT NOW!!!!!

did not even think about this.

if net neutrality is taken away, your parents are gonna know every website you go on because now they have to pay for each of those websites.

you have a private tumblr/instagram/twitter/etc where you rant about your day or talk about your mental health and express your feelings without having to worry about judgement from irl family/friends/peers? if net neutrality is taken away, now they’ll have to know about it. have an account dedicated to porn, posting nudes, or sex? well, if net neutrality is gone, it’s taken away. not supposed to be online talking to strangers because of strict parents? there goes that too.

not only is all that lost (something that has honestly gotten me through some hard periods in my life because of my online friends and the ability to talk freely about what I’m going through without my parents knowing every detail), but now you can’t just search whatever you want and get that information right away. whether you need to look up something for math help, have a question about when a celebrities birthday is, or want to look at pictures of cute dogs: that is all monitored and can be blocked if your internet service provider deems it unnecessary or doesn’t want you to look at it. to my knowledge, you have to pay for all of that.

(mentioning this because expressing creativity is near and dear to my heart) net neutrality is going to make things so much harder for content creators, like YouTubers and artists and cartoonists and writers and photographers that share their work and get their following online. !!net neutrality is going to make just about everything harder, except for large corporations!!

in such a technological world, this. isn’t. FAIR. this isn’t RIGHT. and we can’t let these rich people who want even more money take away our internet!!

contact your representatives and spread the word. I’ve heard that it’s not acceptable to fill out net neutrality related things online and send them emails because of too many bots sending it to them. call them, write them. I know phone-calls can be scary and awkward (I recommend writing or typing out exactly what you want to say to them), but please consider taking the five minutes to talk to them to help save our internet.

this is an actual thing. this isn’t a joke. if we don’t do something about it, the internet as we know it and as we love it is going to change drastically, and not for the better.
