What makes the internet great?,
The freedom right? The freedom to go on any website you want and to do anything you want.
Well that will soon come to an end if we don't take action. Ajit Pai, Chairman of the FCC has passed a plan that will allow your Internet Service Providers (ISP) such as Comcast and Verizon to chose what you can view on the internet and what you can't. The internet is this open universe where one can explore anything he/she wants but the FCC is trying to turn the internet into a marketplace. What does this mean? Well think of Sling or other TV Service providers. Some have package plans which let you access certain channels and make you pay extra for viewing others. If we don't take action the Internet will come to look like this:

Net Neutrality just means the internet is an open plain field, your ISP can not decide what you view and how you view it.
How this will effect us? Just as an example, A lot of us here watch Netflix and Hulu. Now once Net neutrality is repealed, ISP will be able to partner up with services like Netflix which will allow users to have fast connection to Netflix but have a slower connection or no connection to Hulu. This also effects the gaming community as big gaming companies such as E.A and Activision will be able to partner up with ISP to allow their games to run faster while other games will run much slower. The government is trying to take away our freedom on the internet and this is how you can save it.
