A few moments on Net Neutrality

Titaneer's Lab Notes
When I’m Titaneer and doing my best to hulk out the ladies, I try to abide by three rules: 1. Keep it light. 2. No politics. 3. No inflammatory comments.
However, I also believe that such rules can be broken in the name of livelihoods and in general doing good in the world, especially when it comes to online internet access.
So today I’m just going to drop a quick word on Net Neutrality. What is it? In short, it’s the internet’s ability to level the playing field between the little guys and the big shots. Right now, the FCC, they who govern and oversee telecommunication laws, are looking at adopting measures that would destroy that level playing field in favor of big companies. For more information on why this is bad, John Oliver has some good, eloquent points:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpbOEoRrHyU&feature=kp.
If you would like to let the FCC know what you think about their rulings on what cable companies can do with the internet, drop them a line at the link below:
