This is a very big deal. Once again, the Trump administration sides with big money and against democracy. Trump’s FCC announced a plan to dismantle landmark regulations that ensure equal access to the internet. What this means is that the internet and its free exchange of information as we have come to know it will cease to exist. Companies like Comcast, AT&T and Verizon will be able to divide the internet into slow and fast lanes, charge more, control what you see and block access to websites. It means that the internet will be for sale to the highest bidder, instead of everyone having the same access regardless of whether they are rich or poor, a big corporation or a small business, a multi-media conglomerate or a small on-line publication. Now is the time to speak up, organize and defeat this dangerous proposal.
I am a 12 year old Gaithersburg resident (Yes, Gaithersburg is in Maryland). Anyway, I can judge for myself when I see a disastrous proposal such as removing Net Neutrality. The opening statement is true, Trump who is a false President of the U.S. has purposefully reappointed Ajit V. Pai to stifle and quell our democracy. I use our unbiased internet for academic pursuits, it's indiscriminate regulations ensured I could harness the internet's power to succeed in middle school and empower myself. Others in our society and around the world have their own uses for this great forum of expression, imagination, competition, et. cetera. We stand by Net Neutrality and hope Congress(U.S.) will too because if our country loses this right, the other countries in modern world might too!
