Black people are not put on this earth to be about white people. Fun fact; they are about themselves and for themselves. And against all odds, (white people), they’re winning beautifully.
So, Net Neutrality has officially been repealed. It was split 3-2.
Now you guys need to absolutely pummel your local congressional representatives with calls, letters, and protests until Congress steps its game up and fixes this so that the FCC can never do this again.
We watched as three men callously laughed about how silly they thought some of the calls were for not being eloquent enough for their taste. We watched as they lied about the internet, even when the truth was uttered minutes before.
Don’t let them have this win.
Make your representatives miserable until they fix this. The news will be worthless to you in the upcoming months, as every major news network is either owned by an ISP or has tangential business with ISPs. They all serve to profit on this. Fact check with extreme prejudice. Don’t stop until your internet is back to where it needs to be.
Neutral.
I don’t care if you’re far-left, far-right, or dead down the center. Do you want it to be where an ISP can choose to throttle access to Fox News or Breitbart on a whim? What about Vox? What if some bad reviews come out for a movie and Comcast throttles it to hide that? What if Netflix is throttled into oblivion so that Hulu becomes the only possible option for viewing? What if you go to start-up a new business and you’re told that you have to pay for the $500/mo “business package” in order to get higher the 0.3 Mbps traffic speeds to your site?
Nothing about this decision is going to benefit how you use the internet.You use it for paying bills, for doctors and hospitals, for school, for work, and for entertainment.
Don’t give up, guys!
Make your representatives miserable.
DOesnt it need to go through court still? WHere it would be pummeled off?
That’s when advocates take it to court! Agency actions don’t need to be rubberstamped by the courts (in fact, courts prefer not to interfere with agency action).
And depending on which district takes this court case, it could end up favoring the FCC on this.
You want Congress to make the decision because then it is written in law, and isn’t likely to be easily overturned.
Damit, add links to help people. Just liking or reblogging does nothing. Give your voice action:
Sign this at the ACLU. I’m sure others will pop up.
Call congressional offices directly or through the switchboard. If you do not have the direct number, you can reach US representatives by calling 202-225-3121, and US senators by calling 202-224-3121. Ask the operator to connect you to the individual office. Also don’t be an asshat when you call. Simple state that you would like the Net Neutrality rules to stay in place.
The ACLU has already said court papers will be filed.
Thank you for the addition! I’ll definitely help get this spread around.
We will not lose open internet tomorrow. Even if the repeal goes through, we will not lose our open internet tomorrow. The process is longer than that. I’m posting this again, because there are a lot of people who are under the impression that if the vote goes through tomorrow that we won’t have access to the sites we love, which can happen, but tomorrow’s vote is the beginning of a long war.
Please take a deep breath and keep calling your reps.
The motion to repeal Net Neutrality has been passed in a 3-2 vote
Before everyone losses their shit, I will like to urge everyone to talk a deep breath and focus on the following:
1: This cannot go into immediate effect.
2: There is still many issues that WILL be addressed by the Congress, Supreme Court, and many other government officials have a current say in the false comments, stolen idenities, denial of public hearings, and many other issues that the FCC did not address.
3: CALL. YOUR. OFFICALS. Do NOT give up, just because the vote has passed, don’t you DARE stop. Make this shit go front-page, make some NOISE.
this is exactly why the pedo community on the internet needs to crash and burn cause you know all of these poor kids are being actively groomed by people who have fooled them into thinking theyre oppressed and thats absolutely fucking terrifying
burn all pedos and their communities. This is disgusting
@ my followers; i have heard a lot of things about this. do not follow or interact with anyone who has the word “MAP” on their profile page, especially if it says they are pro-contact- and especially if you are a minor.
one important thing to add; do not include pedophiles/maps in lgbt spaces. they do not belong there.
stay safe everyone!!!!
What exactly is a map?
map in this context stands for “minor-attracted person,” making it a flowery term for “pedophile”
Oh my god what the fuck that’s disgusting
Thank you for telling me I will be sure to never go near a map ever
I was fooled into this kind of stuff when I was a kid – pedophile support groups posing as LGBT resources. They weasel their “boylove” and “girllove” topics into LGBT spaces to intentionally deceive questioning youth into accepting their predatory bullshit.
It’s had long-lasting effects on my perceptions of sex and relationships. I don’t want any kid to ever go through anything like that, or worse.
It’s an adult responsibility to keep children safe online. Report these blogs when you find them, and if you suspect illegal activity, report that to authorities or websites like CyberTip.
FCC just voted to repeal net neutrality, but this fight ain’t over yet. Now is the time to blow up your representatives’ and senators’ phones and inboxes. They can’t justify passing this repeal if the people make it clear we DO NOT WANT THIS. If they go against their constituents, we’ll replace them with people who will listen to us! Make your views on net neutrality known. Scream it to the skies. We haven’t lost yet!
And if your representatives are determined to overturn net neutrality, make sure to vote them out next year. You can learn about voter registration here: https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote.
