The Net Neutrality Battle Continues
posted June 29, 2017 #
Recently, Vimeo put out a call to Join the Fight on Net Neutrality. More specifically, the call to arms is to Join the fight to protect our free, open, weird internet; a much more accurate appeal in my opinion. The blog post goes on to explain some ways to appeal to the FCC and spread the word about awareness on the issue.
The video is great. I'm hardly one to tow the company line when it comes to Vimeo but it is refreshing to see a big company standing their ground on this; particularly after seeing Netflix back down a bit and Tumblr get silenced. The ongoing battle for Net Neutrality is a long game, which easily wears people down. It's political fatigue that intentionally draws an issue out to ensure supporters get tired of having to rally behind the cause. Fortunately, something like this Vimeo piece can help boost some spirits and ensure that you're adding your voice to keep the dream alive a little longer.
