Quoted from the New York Times:
"The Federal Communications Commission released a plan on Tuesday to dismantle landmark regulations that ensure equal access to the internet, clearing the way for internet service companies to charge users more to see certain content and to curb access to some websites.
The proposal, made by the F.C.C. chairman, Ajit Pai, is a sweeping repeal of rules put in place by the Obama administration. The rules prohibit high-speed internet service providers, or I.S.P.s, from stopping or slowing down the delivery of websites. They also prevent the companies from charging customers extra fees for high-quality streaming and other services."
This is very fucking important. Our freedom to do what we want, when we want on the internet is in jeopardy because of greedy fuckers. I assume that most of you use the internet every day. This could affect not only how we use the internet, but our very way of life. It would basically turn ISPs into internet gatekeepers, putting stuff behind a paywall, or even simply limiting what you're allowed to view on the internet. This may even affect FRG as a whole, as well as a lot of other gaming communities.
How do we help stop it?

Remember, our freedom is at stake, and if you don't take action, the internet is gonna get a lot less fun when the 14th comes.
Thank you for your time.
P.S.: The ability to control the information the public sees is some orwellian shit like damn
