The FCC vote allowing your ISP to lock huge parts of the internet behind caps and paywalls is tomorrow. Today is the last day to pressure Congress to stop this. Get your reps' numbers (https://www.battleforthenet.com ). Melt their phones. #NetNeutrality

It’s way too late to contact
@fcc commissioners, their minds are set. That’s why http://BattleForTheNet.com connects you directly to your representative in Congress to overrule them. Open source#CallPower tool FTW! By@openactivism@eff@fightfortheftr@CREDOMobile@demandprogress -

Don't support the FCC doing to the internet what they did to television and radio.
-
That's not how
#netneutrality works. If that were the case, half the internet would already be walled off. This simply allows the @FCC to enforce how telecoms can provide access to consumers, which is without arbitrary throttling and barriers. -
They'll get around to it. They always do. It will be YOUR fault.
-
"They'll get around to it." What makes you so sure?
#netneutrality has pretty much been in place since the birth of the internet. It didn't need enforcing until recent years. -
I'm so sure because they always do.
-
Because they always do, so let's make it easier for them to do so. Flawless logic right there.
-
You want to make it easier for the FCC to go fascist. Nice.
-
Because enforce a even playing field is clearly fascist, way to go there champ. You do realize that even without bureaucratic redtapes, laying cable is still expensive. And low economic barrier to entry is a cornerstone of free market, right?

Pretty sad to see a guy running from the US government lobbying to give it more control over the flow of information on the internet.

Call the FCC as well! It's a 2/3 split! If we can get just on more Commissioner to flip their vote, we can save

But my internet is already locked behind a data cap... which coincidentally began shortly after "net neutrality" began in 2015.
-
If what you say is true, then why is Ajit Pai going so hard on the net neutrality repeal? Ignoring the will of the VAST MAJORITY of people (about 98% for NN (no bots), 70-80% (with bots)). Enforcing his own will on everyone like a dictator (personal experience with dictatorship)

For those opposing
#NetNeutraility cuz of#FreeMarket. Tell you what, go to the parts of America where there is only one ISP and tell me how great the free market is. “If the customers demand it, ISPs will do it.” Not if there the only ones in town. They won’t care -
Cuz they’re ones in charge. What? Are you going to live without internet? Highly doubt it. So you’ll have no choice but to pay. Also, I live in Chicago, where we have multiple ISPs, but even then, that doesn’t lead to innovation; they blocked Google Fiber from coming in
-
Block out the competition, so that you don’t need to innovate. Amazing
#FreeMarket! -
"Block out the competition" - that is the antithesis of free market. Local and state regs have resulted in HUNDREDS of muni ISPs being blocked or sued. THAT is why we have places with only 1 provider: too MUCH regulation, not too little.
-
Then why are there monopoles like google in your "free markets" which control through lobbyism the gov.
-
Lobbying the government means the government has something to sell. If they don’t regulate it then they have nothing to sell. A market without government favors = free market.
