Breaking news: The D.C. Appeals Court just killed Net Neutrality. This could be the end of the Internet as we know it. But it doesn’t have to be.  Tell the FCC to restore Net Neutrality: http://bit.ly/1iOOjoe

they want to make the internet like tv. with channels and paying to get to specific websites and things. net neutrality = not doing that

[fyeahwhovians]

This impacts every internet user. Please signal boost the hell out of this and sign the petition if you are American

I do not reblog things like this very often, but this affects me both personally and my business as a freelance artist.

In the economy here; cash is already strapped as it is. You bet your ass companies would suck the ever living life out of misc. art sites.

I don’t want it to ever come down to me choosing between groceries or purchasing a new tier package via comcast to be able to access tumblr or DeviantArt (let alone not guaranteeing I’ll even be seen by my customer base since they may not want to pay out their asses either). It doesn’t seem important to most, but I do 90% of my business online entirely.

Please sign up, fight for this and share it with your followers/friends/family and urge them to give them hell as well.

Not writing related, but this is incredibly important. While we pay for service via ISPs, the internet has been a relatively free space where everyone, no matter their income level, is able to connect, access a wealth of information, and express themselves. The Internet has become a major part of our culture as human beings and the notion that ISPs might be able to limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more is utterly sickening. A lot of us are cash strapped as is, and I’d rather not be limited even more by someone else’s greed. Net Neutrality is essential and I hope you guys will understand why it needs to remain.

P.S. Signal boost this if you’re able.

As I understand this ruling, it means that businesses now have to pay extra to ISPs to have access to their websites through that ISP provided at a reasonable speed. If you don’t pay, users’ access to your website will be slowed to a crawl - so independent people and small businesses can forget about getting onto that high speed access tier. 

This means that the American internet is going to be firmly under the control of those who have the most money. You’ll only get to see the content of those who can pay the ISPs to provide access at a reasonable speed. This means that you can expect to see skewed representation of just about everything, with those bigger businesses who can afford to pay ISPs a premium for access deciding what you can and cannot read, view and consume on the internet.

This is not something that we have in the UK. Our ISPs compete with each other to provide higher speeds, better services and lower prices, but because there’s a monopoly in the US of a few ISPs who provide services, they can afford to do this to you. You can’t go anywhere else, after all.

Everyone in the US needs to sign that petition, call their representatives, write angry letters and do whatever you can to tell your government that this ruling is Not Okay.

Maybe you guys are sick of this post but It’s really important to freelance artists and pretty much everyone who uses the internet, so here it is again.  \o0o/

i dont want to pay for my memes.

@wheremyscalesslither @huskyhuddle @toothless-the-betta-fish @comraderabbit @elemental-kiss Guys Im pretty sure you guys have a lot of followers please boost this!

[nucleic-friend-deactivated20171]

so who fucking profits from net neutrality being gone or is it just old people not understanding the internet

[wheremyscalesslither]

things are weird when one of toyr favorite artists reblogs a comment chain with your username attached. also tumblr never even told me about the tag

anyhow this is really fucking important. the USA us already wntirely run in corproate greed. I cant imagine what it would be like to have to pay for all of this wonderful knowledge and access to communication across the world. Think about this- youre interested in purchasing a new species of snake so you want to start researching- contacting breeders, keepers, and looking up care sheets but you cant because you dont pay for the right package OR worse, the company cant afford to pay and you lose out on an incredible chance to learn and improve animals’ lives.

In this day and age access to educational resources, even those on social media sites is a RIGHT not a privilege.

There is NO REASON anyone should be able to gain more money off of the internet for no fucking reason.

this is dumb thing that is happening.

& dumb things should not be happening

so please help make dumb things not happen anymore. 

like, ok, you use the internet for 948320840324 different things (or at least i do)

we won’t be able to use it for that many different things anymore because people are gross and dumb & need to stop pushing their dumb things on other people & ruining our learning/entertainment/connections/careers that the internet play a big role in.

frickin morons always doing things and making stupid changes without any real regard to the people who are being affected by it,  i  l o v e  it.

something i did for artfight!! the character belongs to @lesbian-trolls ... i’ll take it down if she wants me to.

... maybe i should’ve asked before posting this at all. ((oops.)

i was really proud of how this one came out, since it sorta came out the way i wanted it to.

[lmclexi-blog1]

Was the "i was forced to make an account to stalk my friends tumblr" somehow related to the fact that you made a tumblr just to stalk my account?

m a y b e)))
