Fucking hell..
I can't even begin to explain how bad shit will be if this happens..
I already explained in another reblog, in any case
This could still affect people even if they're not in America, so please, even if you're not there to be able to call, please do spread thw word, reblog, anything would do
And if you are there, please do call, at least once, and if possible as much as you can, daily would be great, if more then you're a fuckin' hero.
And again, it's just simple, the instructions are in https://www.battleforthenet.com
they provide you with a script after you enter your number to help you on what to say if you don't know
It's not asking for a donation of $500, $50, or $10 dollars, it's just asking for a bit of your time, to make sure that you, and everyone else who uses the internet, is able to actually enjoy it.
this shit can make big companies monopolize the fucking internet market, and other smaller companies, individuals, start-ups, etc depend on the internet speed being the same for every website to actually get somewhere
If you don't have enough money, you go in the slow lane, and therefore have to put up more ads or payed services for whatever you provide to actually make some money, but people would rather go to places with less ads, and less cost, as well as faster speeds to get somewhere
so therefore, you can't pay for the 'fast lane'
and therefore, you're back where you started
and it's this constant loop of the poor get poorer and the rich get richer that suddenly also enters the internet.
This if i'm not incorrect could also become something where you have to pay to access some websites, I doubt so, and that ones probably some false rumour, but still
And again, if you're in the US, please, just go to the website and do what it says, it's not asking for much
Thank you
today is Nov. 15. the FCC, under chairman Ajit Pai, will not listen to the public despite millions of comments in support of net neutrality. They are going to try their hardest to kill net neutrality, which in turn will kill the internet, which in turn will help eradicate democracy. it won’t just affect Americans, it has the potential to affect the entire internet, something we ALL use daily. you can bet your ass other countries will see america doing this, and use it as an excuse to do it in their own countries.
portugal has no net neutrality. this is what buying a plan looks like there:
you have to pay MORE for features you’re already guaranteed to have under net neutrality. and in america, you already know how expensive everything is.
democrats AND republicans both want net neutrality. advocacy groups in touch with congress have said that if your members of congress receive calls from you, they are more encouraged and more likely to take action to stop Pai’s plan to gut net neutrality. after Nov. 22, it will be MUCH HARDER to convince your member of congress.
please, call them. call them daily.
