Dear Users of the Internet, I come asking for your help and assistance. Currently, if you haven't been reading the news or keeping up with politics, there is a demand by the upper Federal Communications Commission to get rid of the Internet's safety-net titled Net Neutrality.
To put it bluntly, Net Neutrality is the idea/principle and rule/law that prohibits internet providers (corporations like Time Warner and Comcast as well cellphone data providers) from regulating the speed at which we get content from different domains and websites. If this new law were to pass than corporations would have direct control over what we can see and not see on the internet through bribing and controlling. This in turn would directly effect every site on the internet including this one. Let's be honest, 4chan doesn't have the largest user base, and because of that larger posting sites like Facebook could pay-off internet providers to slow down this site to snail pace.
So please 4chan as well as the rest of the internet grab my hand, put up your keyboards, and retaliate to let your opinion be heard. Because once Net Neutrality IS GONE IT WILL BE GONE FOREVER. Once corporations have their hands on the slow-down switch they will never take it off for sites like this that are full of people that voice their opinions. So again please VISIT THE FCC SITE https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express
or http://gofccyourself.com/ and let your distress and anger be heard. In addition if you still don't believe me, check out this clip by comedian/newsman John Oliver (he may seem like a hack, but the guys has done his research knows what he is talking about).
Thank you for reading through this sign of distress/rant, and please spread this post and the word of Net Neutrality in general...
BECAUSE WE THE USERS OF THE WEB WANT NET NEUTRALITY NOT NET BRUTALITY.
#NetNeutralityNotNetBrutality
I know this sound insane, but it's true just by knowing the 4chan domain, it could be done. BUT, I DON"T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. I <3 this site, and I respect the people that have the guts to post what they want without worrying about trolls.
Look, everyone except /r/The_Donald Trump shills from /pol/ supports NN, but you know that 4chan doesn't like to be called to arms like this lmao
Ladies and gentlemen, it's the man, the myth, and the jackass, John "SaveTheWeb" Oliver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92vuuZt7wak
I support this thread
is the submit button broken for anyone else? I've tried multiple browsers.
Thank you guys -n- gals for your support on this topic. To reply to your concerns about the "submit" button, apparently, there has been an abundant of users voicing their opinion (a course from most likely Oliver's broadcast). Because of this onslaught of opinions, the FCC servers have ironically slowed down tad. But please keep trying to support this cause, and I will keep updating this post with the current amount of supporters. Currently, we only have 9.5 days left to spread the word and let voices be heard. Also thank you again for the support to keep what I, you, and all of us love in tact.
Sincerely, your generic user of the web, D33P THR0AT
P.S. Don't forget to help spread the word of #NetNeutralityNotNetBrutality because I can't do it by myself without you users.
fuck the internet
Kill the Internet and make me do something with my life
