The Net Neutrality issue summarized

You (or your parents) pay approx $40-$100 or higher for internet. 

So that you can all use youtube, google, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc. etc. etc. This isn’t limited to social media.  

Net neutrality says, “Okay, since you already paid x amount of money for the month, you don’t have to pay for each asset individually. Enjoy your internet.” 

NO net neutrality means that your service provider (comcast, at&t, verizon, whatever it may be) gets to say “ACTUALLY, it lines our pockets so give us an extra $5.99 for Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. Oh, but that doesn’t include Tumblr; that comes with our premium package. That’ll be $5.99 on its own as well. Now about your Google docs and email… 

That’s why it’s important. That’s why I’m spamming Net Neutrality crap. If you’re using the internet, it’s YOUR problem. 

-Email your congressman (text resist to 50409) It’s easy, you don’t have to talk to anyone. 

-Tweet the FCC. https://twitter.com/FCC

-Tweet THIS guy. https://twitter.com/AjitPaiFCC

-CALL. https://www.battleforthenet.com/

–This site does the heavy lifting for you.

-Sign this.  

-Sign this. 

-Email your congressmen (that’s what I’m doing) https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

-Swim the #NetNeutrality tag on Twitter. Seriously, it’s helpful. 

And lastly, GET THIS TRENDING. It’s trending on Twitter but it needs to trend here too. This is everyone’s issue. 

Guys, this shit is real. This is no joke. Please, stop what you’re doing and LET’S SAVE THE INTERNET. If Net Neutrality gets removed, that means no more fanfiction, no more fanart, no place for you to show your work as a writer, artist, or editor, no more messaging or even videochatting with your friends and family from other countries, no more being able to do certain important works with the help of Google and other apps related to it… We all need to act. Right. Now.

I don’t care if I have to keep trying spreading the word through Tumblr and other social medias; if you still want to enjoy using free internet, THEN DO SOMETHING. HELP. I’ve already signed the petition and texted RESIST to 50409; we STILL need enough attention and keep spreading this awareness to everyone. As an Hispanic Puerto Rican living in the United States, I say that you don’t have to be American in order to help. You can help as well. Help us make a difference. Help us fight back.

Let’s keep the internet safe. For everyone’s future.
