Please keep communication open.

I find news on the Internet I couldn't find elsewhere. It is a cheap place to publish ideas and because of this fact it allows people to communicate viewpoints that wouldn't find public airing. It seems like every new means of communication becomes consolidated by a few special interest groups and its potential for diverse opinions stifled to better serve them. I think this pattern is extremely detrimental to democracy, where the free exchange of ideas is essential. Stopping Net Neutrality is preferentially encouraging some voices while stifling others, and that is anti-democratic. Please preserve Net Neutrality.
