The vote will be vetoed by the court anyway.

Yes, this round is over, in FCC’s favor.

Note, I said this round.

As I said more than one, this isn’t over, not by a long shot.

They don’t decide when this is over.

We do.

That’s more powerful than you think.

We even have two FCC Commissioners on our side:  Mignon Clyburn and Melissa Rosenworce.

With that said, I have this to add.

Those of you calling for committing riots and murder…

Don’t.

Think with cooler heads about this.

Yes, we have every right to be angry, but we need to channel this anger the right way.

Killing and shedding blood will not help out our cause one bit.

It will harm it.

Do not give up, either.

Round 1′s over.

Time to put on the gloves for Round 2.

Nolite te bastardes carborundum.

If you live in the USA

and you haven’t done anything to fight for net neutrality, now is the time! We only have 5 days left to stop the government and the FFC. Please call and email people or else blogs like mine and many more will dissapear… Applying for jobs will be harder… Schools and libraries will be at harm… Globalization will be compromised in general, so please take the time to do something.

NET NEUTRALITY – WHY YOU SHOULD CARE

lunar-pilot:

A lot of people have been saying – Why should we care? This can’t be real, I don’t do politics, or “I’m not in the US” or “tumblr only has kids”,

Please PLEASE be informed, NET NEUTRALITY IS IMPORTANT, look at the other hundreds of posts on tumblr that will explain it 100 times better than me, but the TLDR of net neutrality gone IS –

– THE INTERNET would be split into packages. E.g. Messaging, streaming etc.

– THAT MEANS prices could be inflated, and this makes NO ROOM for innovation. You know youtube that started from nothing? or facebook? NEW INNOVATE IDEAS wouldn’t be able to bloom as COOPERATES would essentially MONOPOLIZE what you can and cannot use

– Different companies could advertise FAST LANES exclusive to THEM, like company A could say “WE HAVE FASTER FACEBOOK” while company B could be like “WE HAVE BETTER STREAMING”, ALL SHOULD BE EQUAL YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PACKAGES

– This also means that sites like AO3 that are crowdfunded WOULD BE SHUT DOWN. This means many cannot access tumblr because THEY DON’T HAVE THE MONEY.

– They also have the freedom to MEDIATE the internet. Essentially, show YOU news THEY WANT YOU to see, and BLOCK everything else. Sound familiar?

– THERE IS NO BENEFIT, TO US, THE CONSUMER, ITS JUST TO FEED GREEDY COOPERATES MORE MONEY AND INCREASING THE GAP BETWEEN COOPERATES AND US, AND THEY CAN LIMIT OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH

YOU SHOULD CARE. They want to send us DECADES back, they want to have CONTROL AGAIN like they did with CABLE. DON’T GIVE IT TO THEM. DON’T GIVE OUR FREEDOM OVER.

I’m from the UK, but I’m doing my best doing MULTIPLE POSTS FOR AWARENESS BECAUSE I CARE. BECAUSE IT COULD END UP AFFECTING ALL OF US.

IF YOU’RE NOT IN THE US, SPREAD AWARENESS AND NEWS. IF YOU’RE IN THE US BUT A CHILD, TELL YOUR PARENTS TO CALL UP OR SEND A TEXT. MAKE EVERYONE AWARE. FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHT OF SPEECH, FREEDOM, INFORMATION AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,

PROTECT OUR FANDOMS!

today is Nov. 15. the FCC, under chairman Ajit Pai, will not listen to the public despite millions of comments in support of net neutrality. They are going to try their hardest to kill net neutrality, which in turn will kill the internet, which in turn will help eradicate democracy. it won’t just affect Americans, it has the potential to affect the entire internet, something we ALL use daily. you can bet your ass other countries will see america doing this, and use it as an excuse to do it in their own countries.

this is what buying a plan without net neutrality looks like there:

you have to pay MORE for features you’re already guaranteed to have under net neutrality. and in america, you already know how expensive everything is.

democrats AND republicans both want net neutrality. advocacy groups in touch with congress have said that if your members of congress receive calls from you, they are more encouraged and more likely to take action to stop Pai’s plan to gut net neutrality. after Nov. 22, it will be MUCH HARDER to convince your member of congress.

please, call them. call them daily.

hey guys, please reblog this version and don’t forget to call!!! if you are nervous about calling, you can use resistbot to send faxes to your reps and the stance app to pre-record your message so you won’t have to speak to anyone. (available in both google play and app store)

Reblogging this for the addition of Resistbot and Stance. I just tried out Resistbot, and it makes things SUPER easy – it adds the “dear (name of congressperson)” and “sincerely (your name)” automatically, so you just need to say what you want to say.

5calls is a good starting point as well.

Breaking news: The D.C. Appeals Court just killed Net Neutrality.

This could be the end of the Internet as we know it. But it doesn’t have to be. 

Tell the FCC to restore Net Neutrality: http://bit.ly/1iOOjoe

they want to make the internet like tv. with channels and paying to get to specific websites and things. net neutrality = not doing that

This impacts every internet user. Please signal boost the hell out of this and sign the petition if you are American

I do not reblog things like this very often, but this affects me both personally and my business as a freelance artist.

In the economy here; cash is already strapped as it is. You bet your ass companies would suck the ever living life out of misc. art sites.

I don’t want it to ever come down to me choosing between groceries or purchasing a new tier package via comcast to be able to access tumblr or DeviantArt (let alone not guaranteeing I’ll even be seen by my customer base since they may not want to pay out their asses either). It doesn’t seem important to most, but I do 90% of my business online entirely.

Please sign up, fight for this and share it with your followers/friends/family and urge them to give them hell as well.

Not writing related, but this is incredibly important. While we pay for service via ISPs, the internet has been a relatively free space where everyone, no matter their income level, is able to connect, access a wealth of information, and express themselves. The Internet has become a major part of our culture as human beings and the notion that ISPs might be able to limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more is utterly sickening. A lot of us are cash strapped as is, and I’d rather not be limited even more by someone else’s greed. Net Neutrality is essential and I hope you guys will understand why it needs to remain.

P.S. Signal boost this if you’re able.

As I understand this ruling, it means that businesses now have to pay extra to ISPs to have access to their websites through that ISP provided at a reasonable speed. If you don’t pay, users’ access to your website will be slowed to a crawl – so independent people and small businesses can forget about getting onto that high speed access tier. 

This means that the American internet is going to be firmly under the control of those who have the most money. You’ll only get to see the content of those who can pay the ISPs to provide access at a reasonable speed. This means that you can expect to see skewed representation of just about everything, with those bigger businesses who can afford to pay ISPs a premium for access deciding what you can and cannot read, view and consume on the internet.

This is not something that we have in the UK. Our ISPs compete with each other to provide higher speeds, better services and lower prices, but because there’s a monopoly in the US of a few ISPs who provide services, they can afford to do this to you. You can’t go anywhere else, after all.

Everyone in the US needs to sign that petition, call their representatives, write angry letters and do whatever you can to tell your government that this ruling is Not Okay.

Maybe you guys are sick of this post but It’s really important to freelance artists and pretty much everyone who uses the internet, so here it is again.  o0o/
