Seriously guys, don’t forget about Net Neutrality

[faninacan]

They ignored millions of comments in favor of NN in July. They’ll happily ignore them again if we don’t keep bombing them with protests over the next couple weeks leading to the vote. They’ll only care if we make them care.

Contact your representatives. Contact Congress. Use all the online resources people have been suggesting - including those of you outside the US. Keep reblogging, retweeting, and making your own posts. Keep this trending and spread the word. Even now, there are people who don’t know and don’t understand what’s going on.

Repealing NN means people will lose their jobs. Repealing NN means fandoms will die. Repealing NN will mean higher costs for education and healthcare (they need internet access, too, and will bill WE THE PEOPLE for it). Repealing NN means losing your favorite websites that can’t pay the millions needed to convince ISPs not to block their websites entirely. Repealing NN means slower internet access on top of all that unless you’re willing to pay more. There is no benefit to this unless you’re the ones making billions off axing the internet.

Keep protesting.

The Net Neutrality issue summarized

[souleaterunlimited]

You (or your parents) pay approx $40-$100 or higher for internet. 

So that you can all use youtube, google, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc. etc. etc. This isn’t limited to social media.  

Net neutrality says, “Okay, since you already paid x amount of money for the month, you don’t have to pay for each asset individually. Enjoy your internet.” 

NO net neutrality means that your service provider (comcast, at&t, verizon, whatever it may be) gets to say “ACTUALLY, it lines our pockets so give us an extra $5.99 for Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. Oh, but that doesn’t include Tumblr; that comes with our premium package. That’ll be $5.99 on its own as well. Now about your Google docs and email… 

That’s why it’s important. That’s why I’m spamming Net Neutrality crap. If you’re using the internet, it’s YOUR problem. 

-Email your congressman (text resist to 50409) It’s easy, you don’t have to talk to anyone. 

-Tweet the FCC. https://twitter.com/FCC

-Tweet THIS guy. https://twitter.com/AjitPaiFCC

-CALL. https://www.battleforthenet.com/

-This site does the heavy lifting for you.

-Sign this.  

-Sign this. 

-Email your congressmen (that’s what I’m doing) https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

-Swim the #NetNeutrality tag on Twitter. Seriously, it’s helpful. 

And lastly, GET THIS TRENDING. It’s trending on Twitter but it needs to trend here too. This is everyone’s issue.

I litterally can’t afford this. Lmao. Like…if this shit goes through, I question my ability to work or share my art period.

[jestre]

If this goes through, I also greatly lose my ability to share content.

I can’t tell if this is real or just a very surreal meme.

[surreal--memes]

Unfortunately this is real.

[alaskantigah]

It’s been moved to Dec 22. We now have more than a month to continue fighting. I’ve already gotten in contact with my reps and unfortunately only one of them gives a damn. I have informed the others I will considering their replacements when the time roles around. For those who think that does nothing, thats what they what you to think. Telling your reps that you will not vote for them in the coming elections DOES scare them. Call your reps and tell them.

[the-maple-cookie-prince]

PLEASE DO THIS! THIS IS OUR ONLY CHANCE TO STOP THEM!

[hecallsmehischild]

I know for a fact I’d freeze up on the phone and I don’t see an option for signing my name for support, so I’ll give this a reblog for any of my followers who can handle this sort of call.
