Save the Internet!

     Net Neutrality is an issue I'm passionate about. It is the only thing standing between a free and equal internet, and an ISP-controlled Web, rampant with discrimination. I'm sure you've noticed that it is now under fire. It is up to us, the general public, to protect the Internet, something we're becoming increasingly dependant on for everything from communications to information and education. If Net Neutrality gets struck down at the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) meeting on May 15, it will be nothing short of a corporate coup d'etat.

     I was inspired to write this second post on the issue because of Hank Green's video in defence of Net Neutrality, which you can find either here, or below. I urge you to speak up against the ISPs that want to destroy the Internet as we know it. Protect the Information Super-Highway, and keep it free of discrimination.

     To learn more, check out my last post on the matter here, or read this great Slate article by Marvin Ammori here.

     To help save the Internet, check out this amazing initiative, and thank you. If we don't save the Web, no one else will.

Ignorance is the curse of God;
knowledge is the wing
wherewith we fly to heaven.
