This is an issue you need to know about today.
Maybe you like spending money on whatever corporations tell you to. You wouldn’t mind paying to access all of the Internet at high speeds.
But I’m going to assume you don’t believe that people deserve more freedom online based on where they live within the United States or how wealthy they are. In my mind, a child in a poor, rural home deserves to visit the same websites as a child with access to more municipal or household resources.
However…
Right now, new FCC [Federal Communications Commission] Chairman and former Verizon lawyer Ajit Pai has a plan to destroy net neutrality and give big cable companies immense control over what we see and do online. If they get their way, the FCC will give companies like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T control over what we can see and do on the Internet, with the power to slow down or block websites and charge apps and sites extra fees to reach an audience.
If we lose net neutrality, we could soon face an Internet where some of your favorite websites are forced into a slow lane online, while deep-pocketed companies who can afford expensive new “prioritization” fees have special fast lane access to Internet users – tilting the playing field in their favor.
Today, Internet users are coming together to stop them. Websites and online communities are sounding the alarm about the FCC’s attack on net neutrality. We all have until July 17 to tell the FCC and Congress how we feel about this issue.
