Back in 2015 you demanded that the FCC adopt strict net neutrality rules and establish a free and open internet. And you won.Â
That should’ve been the end of it. But apparently not.
The new head of the FCC wants to undo the net neutrality protections you fought so hard for.
His proposed changes open the door to your web traffic being slowed down, or even blocked altogether. You could be forced to pay extra to use your favorite apps. You could even be prevented from getting news from the sources you trust.
Title II protects consumers and democracy by ensuring all voices can be heard.
You know the drill. Here’s what to do:
The FCC is taking comments from the public, and dearfcc.org is making it as simple as possible for you to make your voice heard.
You’ll just need to provide a name, an address, and then say a little bit about why rolling back Title II protections is a bad idea. If you’re not quite sure what to write, here’s something to get you started:
I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it.
The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them.Â
The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard.
Please leave the existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place.
alright I’ve been hesitant to reblog a net neutrality post to my snake blog but fuck, even staff is on this boat, I hope it comes across as important
You know, I don’t think the sudden massive drop in notes that people have been seeing since November 8th is entirely due to the rollout of the “best first” dashboard feature. I think @staff also broke the activity pane.
A lot of folks have been seeing stuff like this on their blogs:
… and certainly, mine is no different. But let’s look at some specific numbers:
That represents like an 80% reduction in notes over a 72-hour span for me.
But check this out:
Check the timestamp. This post was clearly made during the span that the preceding graph covers – yet this one post has two and half times as many notes as my activity pane is claiming were received in total during that time period, and it’s not even the only trending post I’ve made since then.
Like, I’m sure that the “best first” feature has negatively affected huge numbers of people, there’s quo question about that, but it’s pretty clear that it’s also the case that the activity pane is busted.
Same:
According to the activity pane, in the entire last MONTH I’ve gotten ¾ the number of notes I got on this post I made a week ago. I think @unpretty mentioned seeing this too?
Oh my god, it’s actually even MORE broken.
I got another 700 notes on that post overnight, and according to the activity pane, the number of notes I’ve gotten went down by 56. And the “New followers” count is still 21 even though I gained 3.
OK TUMBLR WHAT THE HELL THERE IS A FUCKING PEDOPHILLIA TAG ON TUMBLR AND PEOPLE FUCKING SUPPORT IT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. NO FOR CHRIST SAKES.Â
THIS IS TURNING INTO A PSA
IF A BLOG THAT YOUR MUTUALS WITH AND OR FOLLOW/STALK STARTS POSTING ANY CHILD PORN OR PEDOPHILIC ACTIONS GO AND REPORT THEM HEREÂ https://tips.fbi.gov
SERIOUSLY TUMBLR. SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT THIS TO BE PART OF THE LGBT+ COMMUNITY THIS NEEDS TO STOP.
oh and @staff WHY ARE YOU TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THIS SHIT. THIS TAG AND POSTS CAN LEGITIMATELY TERMINATE YOUR SITE. I WANT ANSWERS. I REALLY DO.Â
UPDATE 1.
