Exclamation Last day to tell the FCC to uphold Net Neutrality

Quoted from another forum.

Tomorrow, the FCC is going to go through with its decision to drop support of Network Neutrality. I know that most of you have heard about this for months, but for those who are unaware, I'll give you a layman's interpretation.

Net Neutrality is basically a set of guidelines and restrictions that force Internet service providers to allow equal access to any and all information on the Internet. Fairly recently the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has decided that, rather than force equality on Internet communications, they will allow the business market environment to dictate whether or not such freedoms of information will exist, and in what capacities. Essentially, they're moving to privatize information flow.

Right now, you pay a fee for access to the Internet, and from there you get equal speeds to any and all websites, peers, and so forth. Once the FCC passes their decision, you'll still pay the same fee, but now ISPs are highly susceptible to being "bought out" by lobbyists, corporations, and special interest groups. Corporations with strong ties to the Republican party might pay off AT&T to give tons of bandwidth to right-wing websites, and at the same time giving mere bits of bandwidth to left-wing sites. Christian groups could "nearly block" sites promoting secularism or evolution by the same methods. Yes, these examples are all left-wing in bias, but that's because I am left-wing. If you're right-wing, think of all the things that left-wingers could block you from seeing with the right amount of money.

It's not a lot to ask. Take five minutes out of your day, submit your story to the FCC on http://savetheinternet.com/, and help make sure that information is freely accessible in the future. This isn't just about politics (so keep this in Off-Topic), it's not about political bias, and it's not some communist scheme to keep businesses from profiting. They already make money - preserving Network Neutrality just prevents them from profiting from restricting your access to information.

Even if this doesn't work, you can at least say you tried to stop the FCC from ****ing over Internet communications.

The FCC wants to hear what you think about Net Neutrality.
Don't be fooled... They don't care in the least bit. They'll go and decide as they see fit, as they don't think the general public is capable of making the decision on their own, with their pornography, and their questionable morals. To them, the general public isn't capable of deciding what to eat in the morning, let alone make big decisions that dictate weather their ISP can control their pornography flow or not. Net Neutrality is important to me, for reasons I cannot mention.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!
