Net Neutrality: One more vote
7 years ago
Since I wasn't expecting this journal to get pretty popular over at DA, I decided that I'm gonna signal boost this journal here too, since it's a pretty important issue that's currently going on that could possibly affect us artists and writers here.
Right now, we need to save Net Neutrality before the 23rd. We need one more senate vote before then in order for Net Neutrality to be kept in its original place. Now, it is time to break this recent silence in regards to this.
Now, before you say "I thought Net Neutrality is just water under the bridge now", Net Neutrality could disappear before our very eyes later this month if we don't win. Now, if you follow me over at DA, you may remember that I created a few journals in the past about Net Neutrality, but I didn't really go into much detail about them.
But now, the time for saving Net Neutrality is VERY important, and I will be going into more detail about it this time. We are exactly one senate vote away from saving Net Neutrality from the clutches of being thrown away in a garbage can, and it has stayed this way for at least a month currently. We need this one last senate vote for us to be saved, and we need our voices to be heard!
On the 23rd, Net Neutrality will vanish if we do not get this one last vote. What we could get in its place is paywalls to view certain sites, slowing down internet connections, and blocking certain websites. In short, the internet could be turned into cable TV, but MUCH worse. It could be worse than SOPA and any bill that was related to it. And nobody wants that!
We could very much be revisiting the pre-internet era if we do not win. Now, let's look into an example. Imagine that you're a child living in the early/mid 90s. You loved cartoons like Rugrats and the shows on the Disney Afternoon, recording the episodes on a video cassette to watch them again and again, and in terms of video games, you were in love with your SNES and/or Sega Genesis. We could be possibly going back to days similar to those.
I really do not know what will happen when the 23rd draws near us. We could be potentially have a big protest a la the blackout that took place during the SOPA and PIPA crisis or something similar to that, or we could be quiet about the whole thing. Most people would want to see the former happen.
I am taking this very seriously this time because if we do not get this one last senate vote before the 23rd, I will not be sure what to do next. Without Net Neutrality, we would not have improved on our drawing and writing skills. Heck, I even have art trades/collabs to complete and pics in my DA Stash that I intend to post soon, and I need Net Neutrality in order to do this.
TLDR: Save Net Neutrality before the 23rd, before it is too late.
For those that have any related links to this, please let me know. Be sure to spread the word about this whole situation as well.
