InterNutter

The internet just changed: Net Neutrality is dead.

feigenbaumsworld:

The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/

Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a " fast lane" of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC's previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP's like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don't pay the toll.

We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.

We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday's announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]

This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?

- Fight For The Future

Got my 500 words in.

You may continue the drama. I’m off to watch some TV

When I get to it, I shall amend it accordingly. I think I can guess who you are and fix that thing.

In fact - how do folks feel about me doing that in all my prompts in future?

Aaaw Anon, you’re making me blush :#)

Another writer once wrote something that I’ve taken to heart: “Differences make good sparks.”

We should embrace the different. If nothing else, it will make us appreciate the wonders of this sad world a little more. A world of homogeny is an awful nightmare to contemplate.

[Psst: It’s ‘autiste’ but I get how that can be a bit of a mangle to type in a hurry.

As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.

As the straight daughter of a gay man, it sickens me that some people will keep scrolling. 

As a straight girl with a basic understanding of equality and love, it also sickens me that people will keep scrolling.

As a straight Christian woman, I pray that people will not scroll past this. Love, not judge.

I reblog this every single time.

Thanks for being very civil, Anon. I appreciate it.

It’s a problematic world. Going after someone for something they thought was funny at the time with rage-cannons loaded isn’t the way, either.

I’ve seen members of the fanmily quit over the Salad Incident, as well as numerous examples of skewed humour from the twins. The point *I’m* trying to make is that everyone has said or done something on the spur of the moment
