Today On July 12th, Join The Battle For Net Neutrality!
8 years ago
General
As you know the FCC has rolled back the laws on Net Neutrality under the Trump administration, meaning later this year cable companies are free to fuck us over on the content we wish to access on the internet...
But we, as Americans, have the ability to fight back and join the fight to maintain Net Neutrality.
Thousands of sites across the web have already joined forces to fight for Net Neutrality

You can help too by sending a letter or contacting your congressman or representative here

Hey Broadcasters,
On July 12, Twitch, along with other social media sites, will be calling attention to the US Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) decision to repeal Net Neutrality rules.
These rules serve as the framework that prevents carriers from abusing their position of power. For example, certain rules prevent ISPs from giving priority to specific sites over other sites, slowing down access to sites that refuse to pay an ISP for a fast lane, and blocking sites based on the decision of an ISP.
We believe that it is important that we not only lend our voice to this issue but educate the community and empower action. How will we do that: on July 12 all the Twitch global emotes will be replaced with a spinning wheel for 24-hours.
A banner ad at the top of the channel page will serve as a call to action to users and link them to a page designed by the Internet Association. From there, one can read more about this topic and send a letter to their respresentiative and the FCC.
Although this issue is timely in the US, we are aware that it exists in other countries. We will continue to advocate in ways that support our creators, you. And, we encourage you to join us and educate us on similar concerns impacting you.
Thanks,
Twitch

Yea, thanks Trump. Here's to the straight white male *raises a detonator*
Here is another resource to help convince you that this needs to be fought and that we need to keep the Net Neutral!

because right now, I couldn't say it more eloquently.
The last four days have been a disaster IRL. Still
I felt I had to do something, even if I didn't really
have the energy, because I am deathly afraid that
if this goes through, all of us can kiss
FurAffinity goodbye.
