FCC Chair Ajit Pai is about to announce a vote to slash America’s net neutrality rules-meaning companies like Comcast & Verizon will be able to block apps, slow websites, and charge fees to control what you see & do online. Net neutrality is the principle that Internet providers like Comcast & Verizon should not control what we see and do online. In 2015, startups, Internet freedom groups, and 3.7 million commenters won strong net neutrality rules from the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The rules prohibit Internet providers from blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization-“fast lanes” for sites that pay, and slow lanes for everyone else.
Call ANDY HARRIS and tell him you want him to protect net neutrality. Currently, Dr. Harris is undecided on this matter.
