The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/

Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.

We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.

We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]

This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?

I’ve been following this cause since last year.  I’ve signed petitions, I’ve called representatives, I’ve been to protests, the whole nine yards.

This right here?  This is not a joke.  This is seriously happening, guys.

Remember the Wikipedia shutdown?  That was to protest this right here.  If you haven’t taken action against this yet, frankly, what is wrong with you?  If this doesn’t get stopped, we’re going to lose the thing that brings us all together unless we shell out huge sums of cash to these corrupt bastards.

Do not just sit there and keep browsing.

Do not scroll past this.

I love you all, and losing you would (more literally than you would like) kill me.

I ALREADY have enough problems with the internet as is.

Not to mention, my SCHOOL could be affected by this.

PLEASE don’t scroll past this.

I, personally, am signing a petition every day to get it through by representatives’ heads.

You looking for a job? Guess you better get your ass up and walk into event single place you want to apply to cause you gonna have to pay to use Google to see whos hiring otherwise. You'll probably have to pay to visit that jobs sire to apply online too!

Taking online classes? That shits gonna cost you extra too!

Wanna check your email? Fuck you, pay your ISP extra $$$ for that shit!

Paying your bills online? Hope you got extra money to pay to go to that site to pay ya bills.

Everything you do on the internet, no matter how small, will COST YOU EXTRA MONEY.

Really all of this is just simple media control and access. If you cant spare an extra $10 a month, the government and your ISP say FUCK YOU
