CAGiversary!
If you arent already made aware of what "Net neutrality" is you need to read this and how yoh will be affected with every one I also encourage you to pass the message of what it is and how to help.( Got this from a reddit form.) You're probably familiar with your electric bill, right? You get charged for what you use, not how you use it. The power company doesn't care whether you have a drill press in your garage, a server farm in your basement, or an herb garden under some heavy-duty lights.
The argument happening now is about the same thing, but with lnternet access.
Since the creation of the Internet, the federal government, through the Federal Communications Commission, has required your Internet provider to treat all of your activity equally. Your lnternet company is not allowed to charge you differently for what you do with your lnternet. They're certainly allowed to charge you more if you use more, but they're not allowed to charge you more if you use it for video games instead of streaming video, or for running your own server. That‘s the principle of Net Neutrality.
The announcement today was an expected one from the new chairman of the FCC, who was appointed by the new president of the United States. On Dec. 14, the FCC will vote on whether or not Net Neutrality should exist.
If the proposal passes as expected, companies will be allowed to charge you differently, based on what you use the Internet for. They might also decide to simply not provide lnternet access to specific applications, websites or uses.
Nothing requires these companies to do this. The repeal of Net Neutrality simply allows them to do so, if they wish.
Now, how to help. "Battleforthenet.com" has a call number along with a script of what to say to a goverment representative you wilk just play as the voice, simple. Enough calls in and they can stop net neutrality from being repealed and or text too: "50409" "Resist" it'll connect you to a bot which will guid you what to reply and ask you to just express ypur concern in a text to them.
