imagine a world where you open up your computer to log on to simblr. imagine opening up tumblr, and, unless you pay for faster loading times much like you would for packages of cable, waiting 5 minutes to simply log in while using data that you will have to pay for as well. imagine seeing an empty dash with nothing left of other users who simply didn’t have the energy to continue using this platform. imagine the internet, one of the last places on earth that is not totally divided between the rich and the poor, become yet another ground for capitalism and a money tree for big corporations. imagine not being able to access certain news sites at all, simply because your service provider disagrees with them, or not having freedom of speech online ever again.

what if i told you that this is about to happen?

in fact, it’s happening already. tumblr is owned by verizon, one of the big companies that will be benefiting off of the end of net neutrality. in an attempt to silence us, tumblr will automatically make you unfollow the net neutrality tag within 20 minutes. don’t believe me? try it yourself.

if you are a simblr and you can’t afford to pay for data to upload your screenshots, download cc online, and express yourself in the last place we can all connect for free, you’re going to be affected by this whether you live in the U.S or not. 

basically, say goodbye to the free internet and hello to big company-mandated propaganda.

ANYONE YOU LIVE WITH WILL SEE YOUR ENTIRE INTERNET HISTORY. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

if you want to help, reblog this post or others about net neutrality so that others can see and:

If you are considering meeting up with someone online use this trick identify who really are who they claim to be:

1. Ask them to Skype 2. If they refuse or can’t for some reason ask for a current selfie 3. If they also refuse or can’t do not meet up with them 4. If they provide one ask them to send another with them holding 3 fingers up 5. If they refuse read step 3 6. If they provide a selfie where they show 3 fingers they are probably for real

(If you’re still unconvinced try again with them drawing something in their hand)

“My [fill in trusted adult here] wants to come too. [pronoun] said we can do our own thing and [pronoun] will just sort of grab [pronoun] own table, but I wanted to let you know. Hey, if you have an adult coming too they could sit together!”

If hearing this freaks the other person out and they decline, TERMINATE ALL CONTACT. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to block. I’m 26 years old and if you tell me you’re coming with a friend or parent for your own safety, I will automatically say “hey, cool. Y’know, if you’re nervous we can just do Starbucks or something, I’m okay meeting in a busy place. That way your [adult/friend] can hang out, too, and they don’t have to pay for [admission, a movie ticket, whatever].” Your safety and comfort is important to me, and is important to any good person you meet online who wants to meet up IRL. In the early 2000s when I first started seeing online safety PSAs, this was a widely-spread tip. Use it.

And for the record, you can use this over the age of 18, too. I still won’t meet people from online except in public places. You never know–that person holding up three fingers and drawing a Pokemon on their palm could be some pervert’s child, niece, nephew, family friend’s kid who was encouraged to take some silly pictures. Always voice-verify and always meet in public, with another person if possible.
