HOW TO HONESTLY SAVE NET NEUTRALITY (Share)

If net neutrality is destroyed then it's all over, this affects North America and the rest of the world. To everyone who says "I live in Europe so this doesn't affect me" most web servers are hosted in the US so it affects you just as much in this aspect, it would most likely affect Canada first in the full aspect before anything then has a high potential to spread to the rest of the world, America is all about money, corruption and power, why do you think the US government sends troops to steal resources from other countries? The list goes on forever, imagine how clueless we'd be without Snowden. In short, what will happen if net neutrality is shot down is that ISPs like Comcast/Verizon/Time Warner Cable/AT&T will make you buy bundled website packages for the websites you use (ex. $10 for Google/YouTube/Gmail/Google Maps/Google Play, $10 for Amazon/eBay, $10 for Wikipedia/Bing/Yahoo/aol/MSN, $20 for Steam/PSN/XBL/WoW, $20 for Netflix/Hulu, etc.), all website owners will have to pay a fee that only major corporations will be able to afford (there will never be a new YouTube, new Netflix, new Google, new deviantART, new Amazon, new Facebook, etc.), your internet will become slow and your bill will skyrocket, small websites will be deleted and the internet will become restricted, we may have to pay high taxes just for schools/colleges/hospitals to use internet which would still be throttled, wifi hotspots will no longer exist, this is the government trying to censor what everyone says like they do on TV, the reason you don't hear about net neutrality on TV is because the government has full control over what people say on TV and they want the internet to be the same way where we can't upload videos or post how we feel about topics because the government is afraid of people knowing the truth, it'll get worse as time passes, this is our only one chance to prevent the internet from becoming a stone-aged dystopia, the only people who are benefited by this are the CEOs of Comcast/Verizon/etc.. This is worse than SOPA so one of the most important things we'll ever do is making sure that net neutrality isn't killed. The only way to restore net neutrality is to write this exact sentence somewhere on the FCC form's comment box (copy and paste it): I'm requesting that the FCC reclassifies Internet Service Providers As Title II Common Carriers.

Watch the video (DO EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS OR ALL OF THIS WILL BE FOR NOTHING. IT'S SHORT AND EASY TO FOLLOW.)

The Official FCC Form with a short and simple tutorial on how to complete it: gizmodo.com/how-to-yell-at-the… COPY AND PASTE THE COMMENT YOU WRITE ON THIS FORM INTO NOTEPAD INCASE IT GIVES YOU AN ERROR THE FIRST TIME, do not use profanity and do not say anything immature, make 100% sure it gives you a Confirmation Number when you click Continue, sometimes you won't get it the first time, if that happens do it again and it'll work, make sure you're doing the Standard form and not the Express form (this link takes you to the Standard form), and MOST IMPORTANTLY! MAKE 100% SURE YOU WRITE THIS SOMEWHERE IN THE COMMENT BOX WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE FORM! IF YOU DON'T WRITE THIS WORD FOR WORD IT WILL NOT WORK! I REPEAT,
MAKE 100% SURE YOU WRITE THIS SOMEWHERE IN THE COMMENT BOX WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE FORM. IF YOU DON'T WRITE THIS SENTENCE DOWN WORD FOR WORD (OR JUST COPY AND PASTE IT) IT WILL NOT WORK: I'm requesting that the FCC reclassifies Internet Service Providers As Title II Common Carriers. <- THAT'S THE SENTENCE YOU NEED TO WRITE IN THE COMMENT BOX WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE FORM, IF YOU DON'T WRITE THAT EXACT SENTENCE WORD FOR WORD THEN IT WILL NOT WORK, I REPEAT, IT WILL NOT WORK IF YOU DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THAT EXACT SENTENCE I WROTE. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME THEN WATCH THE VIDEO, IT'S SHORT AND SIMPLE BUT IT EXPLAINS EVERTHING.

Put the link to this journal in your subcomment (the faded text that appears below all of your comments), if you don't know how: Settings > Comment Signature > Paste this link in the box fav.me/d7inefr , if you still don't understand then click this link, it's a short YouTube video I made showing you how to put this link in your subcomment. bit.ly/1msmfIl

Journal Repost 2From PCX-ArtThe internet is in danger! Save Net Neutrality!

The ISP is planing to do away with Net Neutrality, allowing big name sites to pay to have their sites load faster wile slowing down smaller sites.

The problem is that most of the people don't recognize how dangerous this is. So things like this are helpful for them to understand what it is, and what they can do against it. It is the biggest attack on the freedom of Internet ever. Money rules the world and the internet is one of a few places which is not yet under full control of the rich.
