Once again the neutrality of the internet is at risk, so a lot of people are trying to come together to try to do something about it. Here are two images that I've seen around that capture the whole of it:
And here's some language from
Battle for the Net, because they've said it better than I ever could:
"On July 12, 2017,
websites, Internet users, and online communities will come together to sound
the alarm about the FCC’s attack on net neutrality. Learn how you can join the
protest and spread the word at https://www.battleforthenet.com/july12/.
"Right now, new FCC Chairman
and former Verizon lawyer Ajit Pai has a plan to destroy net neutrality and
give big cable companies immense control over what we see and do online. If
they get their way, the FCC will give companies like Comcast, Verizon, and
AT&T control over what we can see and do on the Internet, with the power to
slow down or block websites and charge apps and sites extra fees to reach an
audience.
"If we lose net neutrality, we
could soon face an Internet where some of your favorite websites are forced
into a slow lane online, while deep-pocketed companies who can afford expensive
new 'prioritization' fees have special fast lane access to Internet users –
tilting the playing field in their favor.
"But on July 12th, the Internet
will come together to stop them. Websites, Internet
users, and online communities will stand tall, and sound the alarm about the
FCC’s attack on net neutrality.
The Battle for the Net
campaign will provide tools for everyone to make it super easy for your
friends, family, followers to take action. From the SOPA
blackout to the Internet
Slowdown, we've shown time and time again that when the Internet
comes together, we can stop censorship and corruption. Now, we have to do it
again!"

This is too important. I know there have been so very many calls for action
lately - 45 and the rest of the kleptocrats have made it so we have to fight
for our lives almost every day - but this idea of net neutrality underpins all
our other fights. Please join.
