The FCC Sided With Comcast And Decided To Let ISPs Censor The Internet. The Internet Needs To Stop This

The internet just changed: Net Neutrality is dead.

The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/

Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.

We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.

We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]

This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?

Someday there’s going to be a historical American Girl doll named Emma or Ella or some shit and she’s gonna have sillybands and get her Netflix DVDs delivered in the mail and be so fucking excited about getting her flip phone for her 10th birthday all because she was born in like 2003 and I’m not ready for that.

Be safe!

HAVE YOU RECIEVED THIS EMAIL??

I nearly fell for this because it looks so realistic. I had a bad feeling as I was typing in my information and went to Netflix to see of there was an issue.

Everything was fine, but now I need to change my password since I logged in with it.

This is 100% a scam and the email was sent from iflex-invoice@spectrum.net , and not an @netflix email.

Please boost this to get the word out and to keep your info safe!
