REMINDER THAT GETTING RID OF NET NEUTRALITY WILL HURT:

- SMALL BUSINESSES

How will they be able to advertise things when they’re just starting out, and how many people will be able to see it? How many people will be willing to buy things online if they already have to pay for access to the site?

- SCHOOLS

Any school with computers will have to pay money for internet access. Otherwise students won’t be able to work on any projects in class, and they will have to rely on home internet access. Lots of school funding will be used for paying this!

- PEOPLE SEEKING MEDICAL/FINANCIAL AID ONLINE

It is common on this site and on many others to see people asking for aid. Imagine what will happen to these people if they have to pay to go onto this site, and imagine how many people will see their posts. Imagine how many people will still have the money to help them.

- STUDENTS

Any kind of research paper will be a pain to write, regardless of your grade level. I have to turn in almost all of my homework online, and nothing is allowed to be handwritten. This will make college more expensive, too, and that’s already too much for anyone to pay for without student loans.

- ANYONE LOOKING FOR A JOB ONLINE

Nobody wants to pay an extra $50 dollars a month to sign up for job applications. It is also standard to have an email, so if you no longer have access to it, that can cost you a job, even if you aren’t signing up for it online.

- ARTISTS

Many artists already have trouble getting people to buy commissions. A lack of exposure and a lack of money will not help.

- YOUTUBERS

I don’t really go on youtube anymore, but I know for a fact that this will effect the amount of views (and therefore the amount of money) they’ll get for their videos. This will effect youtubers worldwide, and the U.S. is filled with tons of viewers!

- PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

Lots of people rely on the internet to vent or to escape. Imagine if they were suddenly told that they aren’t able to do that anymore. Imagine what will happen if they’re suddenly cut off from their friends online.

- LIBRARIES

Libraries would have to put even more funding into internet access, and if they can’t pay for it, it will be a serious inconvenience to many, many people. People who go to the library to use the computers often don’t have a computer at home.

Call the FCC and senators. Write an email. Send a letter. DO SOMETHING.

Please Read!

I didn’t think I’d have to make a post about this, but at this point its beyond urgent that I at least say something. It is December. We have exactly 14 days left to fight off the FCC from taking away our internet. Time is going to fly by, please do not take a back seat thinking “oh, of course everyone’s gonna chime in, its not like I have to do anything” no. Do something! Speak up! Spread the news to everyone around you. Take action. Do not go silent

The internet was made for us. It wasn’t made for greedy assholes who just want more money. In these days, knowledge and entertainment are at the tips of our fingers. We have these miniature computers that has access to another world. A world people can be educated. A world that people can have fun. A world people can start their career or small business. A world where kids who are lonely can make friends. If we lose, this is all going to be taken away from us. Those phones? Well, now you no longer have the ability to message a friend that is miles away from you or check on your email for important business, well unless you pay extra money. I don’t think anyone wants to pay money just to check their email or send a friend a message

And speaking of friends. I know I have friends who go on the internet looking for friendship because they can’t find it in real life. In some cases, I’m the only person they got. I cannot imagine what would happen to some of them if we could no longer talk. That’s terrifying. I’m absolutely scared on what will happen if contact was lost. I might not just lose them from lack of internet, but I might lose them permanently. I really don’t want to think about that, but it could very well be the case if we lose Net Neutrality. And I know there are many other people out there that could have the same reaction

I, myself, would not take this loss very well either. I have very little friends in real life and they’re all often busy with their work. Most of my close friends are internet friends. I don’t know how I’d handle the loss of them. Some of the them are the only things holding me together now. And its not just that, but loads of my entertainment comes from the internet! For all my life I wanted to so badly watch many cartoons (and some anime) and I’ve finally gotten the chance to! I’ve never felt so passionate about anything until now and if we lose, all of that would be taken away from me. I’d be crushed. I’ve already been panicking over this, if its all gone, I have no idea what I would do

And think about yourselves to. How would this affect you personally? I can imagine everyone, or anyone really, reading this would take a big personal loss to this. No one but those greedy assholes will be taking this lightly. If you are not willing to fight for anyone else, fight for yourself. The internet has provided something that nothing else could. We cannot afford to lose our freedom

I am not good with providing with the links and info to take the needed actions to fight against this cause, but I can recommend you guys to other posts that do: (x) (x) (x) (x) (x) (x) Those are all posts I highly urge you guys to read and reblog. I’ll try to add more whenever I find other good posts with contact info. But please, do not sit idle, do something!! This isn’t like the last time we fought bullshit like this off, they’re very willing to ignore our pleas. We must fight back even harder!

PLEASE HELP SAVE NET NEUTRALITY!!

My character from The Witcher rpg game. Say hello to Żywia, she’s a female witcher (yes, this is weird, but possible), one of a kind. I just love her, she’s very calm, responsible, strong and also pretty good-looking <3  The lyrics comes from the song The Buttress - The Attic
