I know I usually post stuff about movies/tv, funny videos and articles, but PLEASE take two seconds out of your day to read this preachy post: Today is the Internet Slowdown, basically a glimpse into what the internet will be like if the US Government/FCC gets their way. As it stands, the FCC’s new rules on net neutrality would allow ISPs (Internet Service Providers) to create internet fast lanes. The idea is that, under the new rules, your ISP (i.e. Comcast, Time Warner Cable, AT&T, Verizon) will be able to charge for priority access to its network. Conversely, if some companies pay for a fast lane, then the others — who perhaps can’t afford to pay for a fast lane — will end up in a slow lane. What this basically means is the internet we have grown up with, this no holds bar, unregulated, entity will change forever, and not in a good way. Sign this and let the lawmakers know what we want: https://battleforthenet/
