Net Neutrality 2
Hey howdy!
Before we get into “grown-up talk,” let’s talk about fun stuff! We uploaded a new doodle to the Eurasia Gallery! It’s a fun collection of images that I always liked, so I hope you’ll like it too…Because people disagreeing with me makes me question my own views on life, which freaks me out. So don’t freak me out…Please?
Onto bigger matters, the vote for Net Neutrality on December 14th ended with Ajit Pai and his Big Internet benefactors getting their way and revoking the Net Neutrality laws. However, friend of the site, LunaSheWolf on deviantART, has some useful advice for how we can continue the fight for the internet.
You may panic, but be smart. There are plenty of lawsuits waiting in the wings. Net Neutrality repeals have failed twice before when taken to court. However, do not bank on it. There is always a chance for this [corruption] to slither right through.
What you should do right now is call Congress and tell them what you think.
If we are quick enough, we can force them into using the CRA, the Congressional Review Act. You can tell them you want that.
We have 60 days to do this.
You’ll see a script on your screen, or you can say something like this:
“I support Title II net neutrality, and I urge you to use the Congressional Review Act to pass a resolution of disapproval reversing the FCC’s December vote to repeal the Open Internet Order.”
You also need to call your Senators and Representatives, especially if they have received money from any telecom companies (Verizon, Comcast, AT&T and so on). [Let them know you’re not happy about this.]
You can also Text “BATTLE” to 384-387 to use a simple chat-bot to send a message to your lawmakers.
Text “RESIST” to 50409 for ResistBot.
If you are outside of the US, consider donating to these organizations- they will continue the fight for the free internet.

REMEMBER, THE BATTLE ISN’T OVER UNTIL YOU GIVE UP.
