Hey all of you guys! For the few people who have been waiting for a new chapter, I know you're waiting and I do have some content lined up, but It's not ready yet. I'm actually working on a way to bring in Grimsley, however this isn't about that.
As some of you might know, Net Neutrality is currently under attack. Net Neutrality is the system that protects the internet so that we can surf the web and see as many websites that we want without restriction or slow as heck connection speed. It keeps big corporations from taking control and slapping a price on literally everything.
Let's say that HBO or CW decided to charge you extra by separating Game of Thrones and True blood or Supernatural and Arrow. Instead of being in the same place, they would charge you for watching one or both of the shows. At least they aren't but it can happen to the internet.
The FCC wants to take Net Neutrality and tear it apart, separating things like YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, and other websites and placing them into categories that cost money. So, instead of being able to search anything by having internet connection- which is already being paid for, byt the way- it'll cost money just to get to those websites. And that's not even touching about the slow speed and extra, hidden fees that will be controlled by the companies.
Also, they can view anything without restriction. And they are going to vote on December 14th of this year, only 13 days way.
How can we stop this? Well, this link can help (Spaces, because FF.N likes to erase them for some reason): w w w . Battleforthenet . Com
If you go there, you can fill out the requirements and send a message to congress along with having the choice to call Representatives and talk to them (or at least leave a message) if you want to. There's a possibility that it will only ask for your number and call you to let you speak to several Congress members. With enough people doing all of this, Congress has no choice but to listen and respond.
If the link doesn't work, go to YouTube and search for AngeryJoe, who has a video ( Net Neutrality & What Happens If We Lose) and there should be a link in the description that works.
The FCC is breaching the American Constitution by doing this, intervening in people's rights to speak what they wish. The internet is a safe place for many people, helping people find assistance, connecting people, and assisting people with business. For people who rely on Subscription Based sites, taking away Net Neutrality could destroy them along with those who run Online Shops- Etsy, , Webtoon, and YouTube only being some. Without Internet schools will be limited to what they can do, as Google is heavily used, along with finding resources, help, and researching.
If you all want, please help fight against the FCC and keep Net Neutrality going, spread the word as fast a you can because time is running out! If you have a TUMBLR go on there and search the Net Neutrality tag and reblog posts so the word gets out there, too! We have to do all we can.
