Well, to no one’s surprised, the FCC led by Chairman Ajit Pai voted to abolish Net Neutrality which was put into place in 2015. The vote of 3-2 was predictably along party lines with the Republicans deciding that the internet doesn’t need to be accessible, affordable, and open to everyone.
But don’t panic! Several states have already filed suit to stop this insane decision that will allow internet service providers like Verizon and Comcast unlimited power to block websites, throttle services and censor online content.
Mr. Pai made an, um clever(?) video to illustrate the important things you’ll still be able to do, if at the end of the day the FCC’s can buy its way through. As many of you know I’m not tech savvy so I can’t upload a link to the video, but here’s 5 things he includes:
You can still Instagram your food. at a reasonable price
You’ll be able to purchase faster and binge watch your favorite shows.
You can take selfies with your pets and pay to upload them.
You can shop for Christmas presents all year round
AND, you can still save up to be a member of your favorite fandom!
Phew! Well I know I feel better!
