Net Neutrality Was Ended; What happens to this Site Now? · 6:50pm Dec 14th, 2017
If you're following the news, you've heard how the FCC chairman just destroyed internet protection laws that prevent ISPs from throttling websites and startups online. 83% of Americans supported Net Neutrality, but today, the chairman sold us out for cable companies. The good news is that the backlash against his misinformed decision will be massive and relentless. When he's taken to court, he's going to have a difficult time defending his horrendous choice. Until then, it looks like America might lose the free and open internet.
I have to ask this because I am genuinely concerned. Does anyone know what will happen to this site? Will we be able to access Fimfiction anymore? Is an ISP going to throttle this website if we don't pay for a fast lane?
Somebody tell me, because I am very terrified. If you have any good news, that's a plus.
From what i understand, there is still a chance, the changes have to go through congress before anything is official
4748703 Forgive me if I don't have confidence in a Republican-controlled Congress. Paul Ryan just came out in support of Pai's decision and Mitch McConnel either supports Pai or doesn't have an opinion. I want the internet to stay. I want to believe democracy will triumph. But I don't know anymore.
