So if you haven’t already, there’s a bot you can text, that helps you write an email or a fax, free of charge, to your senator, or governor. Text “resist” to “504-09” and it’ll ask you some questions, then you’re onto writing. From another thread a few weeks ago, someone posted this message, and it think it’s a great one to send.
“Net Neutrality is the cornerstone of innovation, free speech and democracy on the Internet.
Control over the Internet should remain in the hands of the people who use it every day. The ability to share information without impediment is critical to the progression of technology, science, small business, and culture.
Please stand with the public by protecting Net Neutrality once and for all.”
I’d love to credit the user, but have lost the comment, but please, go send some faxes, show your politicians you want net neutrality to stay.

You can support groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the ACLU and Free Press who are fighting to keep Net Neutrality:
[You can also use this to help you contact your house and congressional reps.](https://resistbot.io/) It’s easy to use and cuts down on the transaction costs with writing a letter to your reps
[Also check this out](https://democracy.io/#!/), which was made by the EFF and is a low transaction cost tool for writing all your reps in one fell swoop.
Most importantly, ***VOTE***. This should not be something that is so clearly split between the political parties as it affects all Americans, but unfortunately it is.
Devils advocate here- were there issues with net neutrality related things before 2015 when it was enacted?
Honest question. I don’t remember any growing up.

Aussie here. Please fight for this. If the US loses net Neutrality it will overflow to us as ever.

Democracy only works if they voters actually believe that their voice matters.
If the FCC succeed in repealing Net Neutrality they damage is far more out reaching than the damage it will do to innovation, small businesses, education, etc…it will potentially damage an entire system of governance.

I just sent e-mails to my two senators and congressman asking them to work with the FCC to maintain net neutrality. After I wrote the first e-mail I just copied and pasted and changed the names for the next two. Easy.
Not sure if it will make a difference but when you consider how easy it is to make your position known, why not do it? Fingers crossed…

Is this a good analogy?
The argument they should have the freedom to do so because they own the network is like saying whoever owns the world should dictate how people move. The packets going through the network are owned by everyone. Everyone is sending their data and receiving other peoples data. The network is only alive because we use it. The network is the living space for the data but the data is not the network, its the people. Owning the network does not automatically give rights to controlling the people.

I think it is fine because it will finally make people demand Google Fiber (I assume it is going to stay neutral). Google Fiber will be a superior service. Non-neutrality will mark ISP’s shooting themselves in the foot, like Microsoft trying to steer internet standards look what happened to Internet Explorer.

FYI – Congress and the Senate have nothing to do with this. Only five people at the FCC get to vote.
[Here they are](https://www.fcc.gov/about/leadership). The three men plan to vote to repeal net neutrality. The two women plan to vote to keep net neutrality.
Their individual contact information can be found under “Bio”.
To defeat the net neutrality repeal, one of those three men has to change their vote.
Ebooks could be at stake people!

Someone suggested that we flood Trumps twitter with tweets about saving Net neutrality, appealing to his ego asking him to help keep the internet free. example:
>@realDonaldTrump PLEASE do not let the MSM control what people can do online! Protect #NetNeutrality and defeat #fakenews shills. Keep the internet free! Don’t let the major media companies control the internet!

The NN rules everyone is freaking out about being removed have only been in place since 2015. So I don’t quite understand what all the fuss is about…

This is something that NO ONE wants, except for a few of the top 1%. Unfortunately, we live in a time where corporations decide what laws are passed. So, I’d be surprised if we didn’t lose this basic right. Corporations controlling our government is such a sad and disturbing reality all I can do is cry myself to sleep. Good night.

this is complete bullshit.
Is the isp paying for my servers?
Is the isp giving the money or a share of the amount they earned from the paywall to me?
No?
Fuck right off then, you aren’t going to charge people to go to my website, the website that I pay for, the website that I made.
This is bullshit. Don’t let them get away with this.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU’RE A LAZY REDDITOR WITH ANXIETY WHO TRIES TO HELP WITH JUST UPVOTES:
Here are 2 petitions to sign, one international and one exclusively US.
Text “resist” to 504-09. It’s a bot that will send a formal email, fax, and letter to your representatives. It also finds your representatives for you. All you have to do is text it and it holds your hand the whole way.
WAY too many people are simply upvoting and hoping that’ll be enough, this is the closest level of convenience to upvoting you can find WHILE actually making a difference.
This effects us all.
DO. YOUR. PART.
Edit: Shoutout to u/MomDoesntGetMe for putting this together.
