Fight for Net Neutrality

As many of you have already heard, a battle for saving net neutrality is ongoing and we want to throw in our support, and get your support, in helping keep net neutrality alive. If you live in the USA, we urge you to head on over to battleforthenet.com and to send an email to your local member of congress urging them to support net neutrality.

What is Net Neutrality?
Net neutrality is the basic principle that protects our free speech on the Internet. "Title II" of the Communications Act is what provides the legal foundation for net neutrality and prevents Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T from slowing down and blocking websites, or charging apps and sites extra fees to reach an audience (which they then pass along to consumers.)

Why is Net Neutrality important?
The Internet has thrived precisely because of net neutrality. It's what makes it so vibrant and innovative—a place for creativity, free expression, and exchange of ideas. Without net neutrality, the Internet will become more like Cable TV, where the content you see is what your provider puts in front of you.

I know that our community here is global, but as we have over 6000 users from the US alone, I felt it important that we help spread awareness.
