Net Neutrality is being threatened once more. The FCC is pushing to pass a bill that will take away Net Neutrality in the U.S. Without Net Neutrality Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will be able to restrict your activity by putting websites behind a paywall. This means you might have to pay extra just to have access to Google, or Twitter. ISPs can also restrict your internet speed by forcing you to pay extra for "faster" (what you probably have normally) connection speeds, while intentionally slowing down connection on their "basic" packages.
There are many more reasons why taking away Net Neutrality is harmful but it really comes down to one thing: Freedom of information. As Americans we enjoy knowing or learning whatever we please without restriction by the government. By restricting our access to the internet we lose what the internet was created for in the first place, a place to share information to the public. If you want to help make a difference fill out a petition on one (or all) of these websites or use them to learn more about net neutrality. It only takes a minute to make a positive impact on something we all use. https://www.change.org/p/save-net-neutrality-netneutrality http://act.freepress.net/sign/internet_wake_up_destroy/?source=what https://www.battleforthenet.com/
