Defend the internet! (Please read)
8 years ago
I normally don't get involved in anything related to politics and I'm sorry for this but this is very important and effects everyone, especially for anyone that lives in the USA but everyone should be concerned.
The FCC Chairman Ajit Pai revealed a plan yesterday, planning to repeal Net Neutrality rules for the internet which will no longer make the internet itself free. What'll happen is essentially the cableization of the internet, where ISPS will then be able to charge you for simply using the internet and would look something like this.

That is what no Net Neutrality could possibly look like and to get certain sites you'd have to pay for separate internet packages. I know most people, myself included would be unable to pay for expensive prices just to reach sites that I regularly visit. So if this happened I would no longer have access to the internet and many others wouldn't either, as I said it would essentially be like the internet is more like cable where the ISP controls what websites their customers can see and use on the net. Everyone will be effected by this, no part of the internet would be spared this if the repeal was allowed to go through.
It'll effect the entire internet, changing everything. To learn more please check out the links below it'll only take a few minutes of your time and they could explain a little better than I have;

You can try to fight it, contact the people in charge of these decisions or Congress like your way of life depends on it. In all honesty, it does to everyone that uses the internet.
