OT: NET NEUTRALITY

Hey everyone,

This is categorized as off topic, but really it's not. We all use the internet freely and at our will, without fear of outages, extra costs, or censorship. If net neutrality rules are lifted, we can say good bye to our internet as we know it, and the instant communication we enjoy. I'm not very good at explaining it, so refer to the NY times article below. There are many online forums that are discussing this issue, and have ways to contact your legislator. If you've got a couple minutes, please call and support. Reddit has multiple outlets that give you options to show your support. The quickest is to call. The following link will easily connect you.

One obvious copy/paste:
Net Neutrality is the principle that internet service providers and governments regulating most of the Internet must treat all data on the internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.

Here is a quick little video that does a great job outlining what's at stake:

Please discuss, and get the word out. It's in our best interest to prevent net neutrality rules from being lifted.
