#2> Reddit, Tumblr, Etsy and other sites have put up Red Alert banners as part of a day of action to drive petitions in support of the resolution.
I get the feeling that these sites are just 'preaching to the choir' (i.e. their customers already support these things, and most likely have let their 'representative' know).
Is anyone doing anything to give the 50 senators who are against this a taste of what is to come? I recall cloudflare or someome along those lines threatenning to throttle traffic from government IPs, or maybe that just happened in my dream..

#3What a scam.
"Net Neutrality" is just a euphemism for "forcing all ISPs to submit to federal licensing to make it easier to coerce them into doing stuff".

Lol I assumed there were less Ignorant redneck idiots here. People like you really just don't seem to understand how the internet actually fucking works or that the internet is not just an American fucking thing.

This is dangerous misinformation.

#6I still can't believe that the movement to kill net neutrality was (is?) called "restoring internet freedom". I guess it's a shortening of "restoring internet service providers' freedom"? But the longer form isn't as catchy.

#7If you live in Arkansas, Louisiana, or Ohio, call your senators and urge them to vote in favor of net neutrality!

It’s also an inevitable consequence.
Truth be told, I distrust the part of government that supports “net neutrality” and I distrust the part of government that is against it. Make no mistake, the government is itching to dictate content and tax data transfer.

Branding makes the world go round. Whether it's forward, or in this case, backward.

It's really not. The US gov't can't require censorship like that.
