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?

“We owe all our success to Black Tumblr. I have never seen people mobilize on the internet like Black people do.”

The Blackout’s (@theblackoutofficial) co-founders shared what Black Excellence means to them and where they’re seeing examples of it in the world today. Take a second and feel proud, because they’re seeing a lot of it in you guys on Tumblr. If you missed the Answer Time they just finished, you can find it here.

I think a big part of why I read way more fanfiction than books is that there’s just a hell of a lot less exposition

the first 10 pages of most books are always “these are the main characters and here’s some background on each of them and this is the setting etc etc” and it’s such a fucking hassle getting to the plot sometimes

fanfic is just like “fuck it you know all of this already let’s go”

The obligatory gut smearing in every season will probably be skipped since we have James. I really admire him sticking to his beliefs. The Whisperers were a fucked up group but James is compassionate and peaceful.

Excited James is so cute😊😊 Of course Clem flexing is too😍although she did get a bit too excited with her idea…
