Oh boy....
I'm not completely worried seeing as the majority of Congressmen are still for N.N., as well as most of us in America. Still, this is a little scary...

Well, it's finally happened.

After months of campaigning, Senator Ed Markey and his bill to restore Net Neutrality is going to be put to a vote tomorrow. Although this bill is still unlikely to make it to Trump's desk, much less be signed into law, it does have an important function: It essentially forces every senator and house member in Congress to say where they stand on Net Neutrality: Do they favor everyone having equal access to the internet, or do they favor corporations having the right to carve it up in a

GG, FCC, you just screwed so many people.

A little less than two months ago, I wrote a blog post about the then-upcoming vote by Ajit Pai and the FCC to repeal Net Neutrality, allowing internet providers to control how the public can access the internet via so-called 'toll lanes', slowing loading speeds, and even censoring websites divide up the internet into various 'toll lanes' that would drastically

Tomorrow, December 14th, the FCC will vote on whether or not Net Neutrality will be repealed. If it is repealed (likely, seeing as 3 of 5 members are against it), then... well, who knows what will happen. It's very likely internet providers will increase their prices, hurting everyday citizens who will have to pay for what parts of the internet they want to access without being forced to endure long loading times.

The FCC was kicked by a security threat, and we're currently winning the net neutrality debate.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I normally avoid doing blog posts about anything political, considering how charged the political climate is these days, but because this is an issue that affects everyone regardless of their beliefs, I believe it's worth making an exception for.

Time is running out to protest the FCC’s decision to revoke net neutrality, so I thought I’d show you all a world without net neutrality.

The title says it all. There is no more Net Neutrality. How long will it be before this site or other Fanfiction sites are shut down or have features removed? Spread word to have it returned and make the Internet free to us all again.

Hello. Um... Since everyone else is trying to save the net, I probably should, too.

This link will help. So yeah...

Turn on computer, start doing homework, realize that the internet's down, curse Comcast and Ajit Pai, wait for internet to work again, continue doing homework.

Rinse and repeat indefinitely.

The first thing I'm gonna do once I'm done with college is move back to the small tech boom-town of Lehi where there's actual competition between ISPs that would at least leave lower prices and higher quality service than Comcast and their duopoly with Centurylink here in the next city over.

Here's a good video of what's going on, and what to do. If you don't have a lot of time or don't want to sit through the whole thing, SKIP TO 15:27 AND WATCH TO AT LEAST 16:27.

So, I think most of us are aware of what has happened earlier today. The FCC, defying the majority of Americans who were shouting, literally and metaphorically, to leave the system alone, officially dissolved net neutrality in a 3-2 vote. Net neutrality, for anyone who doesn't know, is defined by Dictionary.com as, "the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or

To all my followers and all of Fimfiction, I hope you'll join me in defending our free and open internet rules from Pai. Call your representatives and tell them you support Title II Net Neutrality Rules. This video shows you how easy it is to do it. Just keep the pressure on.

I don't like bringing political nonsense here but, this needs to be said. The Net needs to remain free, If they succeed, I can guarantee that this will be they're greatest mistake, I can see riots and possibly violence start to emerge If this happens, paying money just to access the net Is stupid, but hopefully like every year this happens, I can only hope that Net Neutrality remains, just thank about It this way, your Internet provider would be able to make you use Yahoo search instead of
