One step away from censorship on the net!

Abolishing Net Neutrality is only one step away and leads to censorship on the internet. Additionally, it means that I would only have access to certain information that these providers want to make public, and a lot of information would not be accessible because it does not fit the current paradigm or political agenda.

Net Neutrality is essential to free speech, equal opportunity and economic innovation in America. Since the FCC removed this basic protection in 2005, the top executives of phone and cable companies have stated their intention to become the Internet's gatekeepers and to discriminate against Web sites that don't pay their added tolls.

This fundamental change would end the open Internet as we know it. It would damage my ability to connect with others, share information and participate in our 21st century democracy and economy. The FCC must ensure that broadband providers do not block, interfere with or discriminate against any lawful Internet traffic based on its ownership, source or destination.
