Description
my contribution to Will Net Neutrality Survive?The FCC Wants To Destroy It.Today, DeviantArt has joined hundreds of sites across the web to fight for net neutrality. July 12th is a coordinated day of grassroots efforts across the net to bring attention to the shadowy efforts of powerful cable and telecom industry forces to do away with net neutrality — a rule that protects open and equal access to the net for all publishers.
Without net neutrality rules that create an open and fair playing field for all users on the Internet, there will be economic censorship with the rich publishers paying Internet providers to be in the fast lanes with the rest of us throttled down.
Send a letter to the FCC & Congress
WHY WE'RE FIGHTING
The FCC wants to destroy net neutrality and give big cable companies control over what we see and do o Keep the Internet FREE!!!

Protest and Act Now! Save Net Neutrality!
Today, DeviantArt has joined hundred of other sites across the Web to fight for net neutrality, but we need your help!
Net neutrality protects open and equal access to the Internet. Without it, Internet Service Providers — like AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon (among others) — could begin to charge extra fees, engage in economic censorship, and control what we see and do on the Web by throttling sites, apps, and other online services.
Why is this important? On December 14th, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will vote to gut the protections for net neutrality.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Protest on December 7 at a Verizon store near you. verizonprotests.com
Call or Write your Congress person and demand that they stop the FCC from gutting net neutrality. Call and write to congress.Share message
Perhaps because of this?
It's a fantastic piece that really drives home what we will lose :c
