🚨 The internet needs you 🚨

You’re up again, Tumblr.

Back in 2015 you demanded that the FCC adopt strict net neutrality rules and establish a free and open internet. And you won.

That should’ve been the end of it. But apparently not.

The new head of the FCC wants to undo the net neutrality protections you fought so hard for.

His proposed changes open the door to your web traffic being slowed down, or even blocked altogether. You could be forced to pay extra to use your favorite apps. You could even be prevented from getting news from the sources you trust.

Title II protects consumers and democracy by ensuring all voices can be heard.

You know the drill. Here’s what to do:

The FCC is taking comments from the public, and dearfcc.org is making it as simple as possible for you to make your voice heard.

Go there now 👉 dearfcc.org ✌️

You’ll just need to provide a name, an address, and then say a little bit about why rolling back Title II protections is a bad idea. If you’re not quite sure what to write, here’s something to get you started:

I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it.

The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them.

The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard.

Please leave the existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place.

Thank you!

If you need more ammo, feel free to quote these experts from our net neutrality Issue Time. TechCrunch and Battle for the Net also have some good starters.

Everyone is counting on everyone else here. Do your part and tell the FCC to keep a free and open internet under Title II.

Net neutrality is the principle that Internet providers like Comcast & Verizon should not control what we see and do online. In 2015, startups, Internet freedom groups, and 3.7 million commenters won strong net neutrality rules from the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The rules prohibit Internet providers from blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization—"fast lanes" for sites that pay, and slow lanes for everyone else.

Time to call your members of Congress, again.

Please guys, don’t ignore this stuff. This will negatively affect everyone and we need to stop it.

Prepare to be annoyed by me because I’ll never stop reposting about this until something is done

I hate diverging into reality on here. But this will end the internet as we know it. Its one thing you should hate if you’re left or right wing. Its not about promoting business. Its corporate greed. 3 big telecom companies gaining control of everything.

So call your senators. And your representative. Tell them to make net neutrality law. Then call them the next day. And then the day after. And keep calling every single day. Fax them. Email them. Best yet show up at their offices in person. At town halls. At public appearances. Do not let up.

The timeless art of the news dump.

This is important and everyone should know about it. Ajit Pai is an unapologetic piece of shit and he needs to be opposed at every turn. Signal boost.

What can us Canadians do to help with the Bet Neutrality issue?

Edit from my last question, if I’m a minor, and a Canadian is there anything I can do to help with net neutrality?

Fill out this form with the FCC and leave a complaint about their plans to kill net neutrality. Even non-Americans can do it.

Also this: https://www.battleforthenet.com/

This post has links to a petition that Canadians can fill out.

If there’s anything else that Canadians can do (aside from sharing posts about Net Neutrality), let me know.

COPY PASTE, SHARE AND ACTUALLY E-MAIL THESE FOLKS:

These are the emails of the 5 people on the FCC roster. These are the five people deciding the future of the internet.

The two women have come out as No votes. We need only to convince ONE of the other members to flip to a No vote to save Net Neutrality. Blow up their inboxes!

Spread this comment around! We need to go straight to the source. Be civil, be concise, and make sure they understand that what they’re about to do is wholly undemocratic.

Call congress and protect Net Neutrality

I try to keep things fun and light on here…but…this is really important. Imagine what will happen to our fandom (and all the fandoms all over the internet) if the FCC kills net neutrality? There’s a strong possibility huge swaths of content will be inaccessible and it will hurt the fan content creators you love.

I have SUPER ANXIETY but calling my congressman made me feel better about this than I’ve felt in weeks. I actually did something. And they were really polite on the phone even though I was like

“Kill net neutrality? Now you’re not even speaking English”

They said the calls matter. PLEASE call.

It’s SO easy if you go to https://www.battleforthenet.com/ and put in your phone number.

they give you a little script and call your number

you enter your zip code into your phone

it connects you to your congressperson

you say you support net neutrality and ask if the congressperson does

if they do, say you appreciate their support and ask them to keep fighting

if they don’t, make it clear you will not vote for them and will support their opponents in the future unless they change their stance (this is the most effective thing to say!)

I did some pacing around to work up the courage to do it, but

I’m sorry this got long…but please, this is really important. Your voice CAN make a difference.

Also always remember you can write to congress.

Here and here and here are helpful posts.

I have near panic attacks when I have to talk on the phone sometimes, esp about important stuff like this that I’m already panicking about, so just reminders you do have other options to be supportive.

But if you are brave enough, please do call! Do all you can! The internet is very important.
