Internet Citizens: Defend Net Neutrality

posted May 15, 2014 #

The above video is a simple explanation of what Net Neutrality is and why it should be defended. At this point, you hopefully don't need any further education on the what and the why but, moreso, how we can all help. The FCC is voting today on a new proposal for net neutrality rules and if we can reclassify broadband internet as a Title II Common Carrier Telecommunications Service.

The folks at #StopTheSlowLane are asking everyone to rally around their hash tag and let the FCC know that the neutrality of Internet Broadband is crucial to healthy environment for innovation. It boggles my mind that this is a fight that even has to be had but here it is. I know petitions, FCC filings and hashtags seem like a silly way to be heard but it's better than doing absolutely nothing.

So, do all the reading and educating you need but please actually act on it.
