Despite today’s decision, please don’t forget to keep fighting for net neutrality.  It won’t change right away, and they’ll try to convince us that everything will be fine.  Don’t catastrophize, and yet don’t trust them.  Just keep fighting for what’s right.

The Net Neutrality issue summarized

You (or your parents) pay approx $40-$100 or higher for internet. 

So that you can all use youtube, google, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc. etc. etc. This isn’t limited to social media.  

Net neutrality says, “Okay, since you already paid x amount of money for the month, you don’t have to pay for each asset individually. Enjoy your internet.”  NO net neutrality means that your service provider (comcast, at&t, verizon, whatever it may be) gets to say “ACTUALLY, it lines our pockets so give us an extra $5.99 for Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. Oh, but that doesn’t include Tumblr; that comes with our premium package. That’ll be $5.99 on its own as well. Now about your Google docs and email…" 

That’s why it’s important. That’s why I’m spamming Net Neutrality crap. If you’re using the internet, it’s YOUR problem. 

-Email your congressman (text resist to 50409) It’s easy, you don’t have to talk to anyone. 

-Tweet the FCC. https://twitter.com/FCC

-Tweet THIS guy. https://twitter.com/AjitPaiFCC

-Swim the #NetNeutrality tag on Twitter. Seriously, it’s helpful. 

And lastly, GET THIS TRENDING. It’s trending on Twitter but it needs to trend here too. This is everyone’s issue.

CONCEPTUALIZING THE ISSUE AND ASSESSING TYPES OF ACTION

1. I chose net neutrality as my issue because I am interested in the internet and how internet service providers control internet access.

2. This is an issue because it has been debated for a long time whether net neutrality should be regulated. Net neutrality requires internet service providers to treat users and websites equally, and without it, it allows internet service providers to charge an extra fee to access certain websites. It also allows internet service providers to slow down access to certain websites.

3. I think that regulations need to be set by the FCC that disallows internet service providers to discriminate against certain users or websites. This allows for a better and fairer experience on the internet.

4. I am following @AjitPaiFCC, @BrendanCarrFCC, @mikeofcc, @GeoffreyStarks, and @FCC. In December 2017, @FCC posted a Tweet stating that Ajit Pai condemned threats made to a New York congressman related to net neutrality. I found it surprising that people would make threats because of a politician’s stance on net neutrality.

#1yrago FCC chairman Ajit Pai receives heaps of insults after tweeting about his love for The Big Lebowski

Ajit Pai used his power as FCC Chairman to kill net neutrality.

So most people can't stand him. He's also gleeful about killing it, too, which makes him even more despicable. Even the FCC's Inspector General thinks Pai is awful - he's investigating Pai for corruption.

It's not just, like, my opinion, man: 20 years ago today, #TheBigLebowski--the greatest film in the history of cinema--was released. Decades on, the Dude still abides and the movie really ties us all together. https://t.co/bYus1wlt7q

— Ajit Pai (@AjitPaiFCC) March 6, 2018

So whenever Pai goes on Twitter trying to be cute, he gets blasted with hundreds of insults. This time, Pai showed his bro side, tweeting, "It's not just, like, my opinion, man: 20 years ago today, #TheBigLebowski--the greatest film in the history of cinema--was released. Decades on, the Dude still abides and the movie really ties us all together."

Thanks for killing the Internet and people's ability to ever watch the movie again without having it spoiled by the memory of you, Pai.

For months leading up to the FCC’s vote to repeal net neutrality, millions of public comments in favor of the anti-net neutrality plan cropped up.

As New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman called out last month:

My office analyzed the public comments submitted to the @FCC about #netneutrality—and found that 100,000s of Americans were likely impersonated to drown out the views of real people and businesses. This was akin to identity theft on a massive scale:

One month later, that tally is even worse. On Wednesday, the New York attorney general’s office released more details of their investigation and found that 2 million comments had stolen the identities of real Americans.

Americans have reported their own identities being used, as well as the identities of deceased loved ones.

Actor Sean Astin reported that his mother, Patty Duke’s, name was used to create not one, but at least THREE comments on the FCC’s website in support of ending net neutrality one year after she died. Mackenzie Astin shared screenshots of the comments on Twitter:

Hey, @AjitPaiFCC, today my mom would have turned 71. But she didn't. Because she died in March of 2016. Can you please take the time to explain to me how she made three separate comments in support of ending #NetNeutrality more than a year after she died? cc: @SeanAstin

Patty Duke died in 2016, yet all three comments were published in 2017.

Schneiderman had called for a delay in the vote pending more investigation:

“Millions of fake comments have corrupted the FCC public process – including two million that stole the identities of real people, a crime under New York law,” said Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. “Yet the FCC is moving full steam ahead with a vote based on this corrupted process, while refusing to cooperate with an investigation. As we’ve told the FCC: Moving forward with this vote would make a mockery of our public comment process and reward those who perpetrated this fraud to advance their own hidden agenda. The FCC must postpone this vote and work with us to get to the bottom of what happened.”

Of course the FCC didn’t listen. Despite Schneiderman’s call for a delay and thousands of complaints from consumers, the FCC went ahead and voted for an end to net neutrality. According to Brian Hart, an FCC spokesman, the agency lacks the resources to investigate every comment. Hart says that fake comments and email address were created by those in support of net neutrality.

Now Senator Jeff Merkley is coming on board to demand justice after finding the he was impersonated as well:

Turns out someone impersonated me during the @FCC #NetNeutrality comment period – further proof of forged comments in this process. We need to get to the bottom of this and demand justice for those who sought to be heard.

10:37 AM - 18 Dec 2017

The FCC continues to take no action to remove the fraudulent comments or to prevent them from being filed.

‘Net Neutered, really.

Because I know what my followers like: POLITICS!

I’ll keep this brief. Promise.

So while my November auto-pilot queue was wrapping up--and I was enjoying a year without unrelated asides that drive followers away--the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided that our nipple-twerking foes at the cable companies weren’t making enough money off of our misery, so they figured that it would be a good and popular idea to scrap the Internet cornerstone that is Net Neutrality.

It’s... been going about as well as you would think.

So here’s the deal.

Here’s the contact information of some powerful people who need to be reminded that Net Neutrality isn’t some fancy buzzword and that their powerful positions will be jeopardized if they decide to let it die for a few bucks; that there is a real, diverse population who oppose the very idea of a repeal.

Also, word is that just spamming inboxes, answering machines, and comment sections with scripted copypastas and templates are not going to be enough this time. We’re going to need to form actual coherent, civil thoughts and send them if we want to keep our outrage out of the recycle bin. You may have heard that some spam accounts have been using peoples’ names to support the repeal. If anything, if you know that you haven’t made any open comments up this point, feel free to check to see if your name has.

Here’s the phone number, e-mail, and Twitter handle for the office for FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, plus the actual contact page for all FCC leaders, departments, and inquiries.

Phone: 202-418-2000 E-Mail: Ajit.Pai@fcc.gov Twitter: @AjitPaiFCC https://www.fcc.gov/about/contact

Here’s the Twitter handle for Donald Trump, plus a link to the official White House contact page.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ Twitter: @realDonaldTrump 

Finally, here’s a couple websites that have compiled lists of numbers and emails for various senators and representatives.

https://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/ https://www.house.gov/representatives

Oh, and remember, the vote to kill Net Neutrality is planned for December 14, 2017: one week from now. As for today, there are protests planned at Verizon stores and various locales across the country; if you are able, find the closest nearest you and join the fight.

I’m just going to leave this information here and let you decide on how you wish to use it. (Again, be civil!) No pressure... just the future of easily available information. It’ll be a shame to lose it because of collective defeatism.

Told you that would be quick. We’ll be back soon with more decidedly fun displays of video game-themed capitalism!
