I hope you guys like it!! Sorry for making you all wait so long ^^;

Now you guys need to absolutely pummel your local congressional representatives with calls, letters, and protests until Congress steps its game up and fixes this so that the FCC can never do this again.

We watched as three men callously laughed about how silly they thought some of the calls were for not being eloquent enough for their taste. We watched as they lied about the internet, even when the truth was uttered minutes before.

Don’t let them have this win.

Make your representatives miserable until they fix this. The news will be worthless to you in the upcoming months, as every major news network is either owned by an ISP or has tangential business with ISPs. They all serve to profit on this. Fact check with extreme prejudice. Don’t stop until your internet is back to where it needs to be.

Neutral.

I don’t care if you’re far-left, far-right, or dead down the center. Do you want it to be where an ISP can choose to throttle access to Fox News or Breitbart on a whim? What about Vox? What if some bad reviews come out for a movie and Comcast throttles it to hide that? What if Netflix is throttled into oblivion so that Hulu becomes the only possible option for viewing? What if you go to start-up a new business and you’re told that you have to pay for the $500/mo “business package” in order to get higher the 0.3 Mbps traffic speeds to your site?

Nothing about this decision is going to benefit how you use the internet.You use it for paying bills, for doctors and hospitals, for school, for work, and for entertainment.

you can still call your legislators, if you use this page you just have to type your phone number and they will give you a script of what to say in the call!

in addition to that you can also email and text congress

and for those of us who don’t live in the USA there is a new international petition you can sign!

And while yes, this might happen, it’s such an absurd thing to put the majority of the focus on when the biggest, most nefarious use of net neutrality, which will 100% definitely be used, is media manipulation

Say your ISP is a company with particularly conservative views, and they’re strongly pro-life, for example. They could oh so easily cut off resources on abortions - information on how and where to get one, support groups, all the rest of it. Poof. Inaccessible.

They don’t want news about Trump making an utter fucking ass of himself out there? Well, time to throttle it!

God forbid, they’re horrifically homophobic? Kiss goodbye to your lovely LGBT+ online circles and resources. Your ISP doesn’t want the filthy gays influencing their customers.

Sure, you might have to pay a couple extra bucks for Tumblr or YouTube or whatever - but that’s not a definite and it’s such a weird thing to fixate on when net neutrality literally allows ISPs to dictate what you do and do not interact with on this internet. A world without net neutrality is dangerously, dangerously biased - a world where not all views are equal.

The BEST thing you can do is to call your members of Congress at 202-224-3121. Call three times, because you have two senators and one House representative.

My blog:

I assumed I just wasn’t writing very well, but maybe it’s not just me.

This blog is down approximately 80%, which doesn’t affect me other than as an annoyance (as this is a hobby and @okayto is small-ish) but the issue undoubtedly hurts others.

Below are instructions for turning it off. You have to do it individually–it doesn’t matter if a blog you follow turns it off, you’ll still be affected unless you do the same.
