THE WORLD VS THE FCC: THE FIGHT FOR NET NEUTRALITY

It's time, people. Time to stop ignoring this issue. If we don't do something about this, we will lose net neutrality- and in turn, lose the freedoms of the internet. Due to the actions of President Donald Trump, the FCC is set to eliminate net neutrality. What will this do? It will revoke Title II of the Communications Act, which stops Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T from from slowing down and blocking websites, and it also stops them from charging apps and sites extra fees to reach an audience. There are DOZENS of groups that have chosen to fight for net neutrality... Tumblr was one of them until Verizon purchased Yahoo... but here's a list of some of the groups that are still in the fight: Fight For The Future, The Center for Media Justice, Amazon, Etsy, Kickstarter, Netflix, Twitter, Vimeo, Reddit, Mozilla, PornHub, okcupid, AdBlock, the American Library Association, Bandcamp, Chess.com, DeviantArt, Discord, FARK.com, FunnyOrDie, GreenPeace, the Internet Creators Guild, Imgur, Kkink.com, MetalSucks, The Michael Trimm Show, Newgrounds, Patreon, PORNMD, the Rainforest Action Network, REDTUBE, Soundcloud, ThinkGeek, TING, the Writers Guild Of America, both East and West, the World Wide Web foundation, YOUPORN, Zapier, the list is way bigger and goes on and on... Think about this for a moment. If we lost net neutrality, just... think about it for a moment. No more vore. No more Aryion. No more porn. No more probably sexual ANYTHING on the internet... every last foul word, every last inappropriate video censored and/or removed/deleted... no more internet freedom. Services and apps will be forced to pay our internet service providers extra fees to reach us. But it gets worse... THE CURRENT GENERATION HAS BEEN USING THE INTERNET TO MAKE THE VOICES OF MILLIONS OF CIVIL RIGHTS AND EQUALITY ACTIVISTS HEARD- AND NOW TRUMP WANTS INTERNET FREEDOM GONE. THAT COULD MEAN THE LOSS OF EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE WEBSITES. IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, AMERICA WILL BE HEADED DOWN A DARK, DREARY, DISMAL, DREADFUL, DISGUSTING, DISAPPOINTING PATH TO FAILURE. IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP. GO TO THESE WEBSITES. https://www.freepress.net/ www.savetheinternet.com/sti-ho… www.battleforthenet.com/july12… JOIN THE BATTLE. PROTEST. MARCH. POST. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD. TUMBLR MAY HAVE STOPPED FIGHTING, BUT THE USERS OF TUMBLR HAVEN'T. IT'S TIME PEOPLE. JOIN THE FIGHT. EITHER WE WIN, OR THE ENTIRE WORLD WIDE WEB FALLS. IT'S GO TIME.
