The FCC Sided With Comcast And Decided To Let ISPs Censor The Internet. The Internet Needs To Stop This

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?

Hey, so, uh…

Hey, So, Uh…

KOSA literally violates the First Amendment freedoms. If this is passed, then that means the Constitution and Bill of Rights are basically void, because Congress are ignoring them. THATS A PROBLEM

As a teen myself, it pisses me off. I wish for anarchy, with everything the US government has been doing, from supporting Israhell to this bullshit.

Please, do what you can to prevent this from getting passed. It violates everyone’s rights in the US, and if it gets passed, then we’re back to where we started; a monarchy. Just with far too many people.

A photo of Sonic the Hedgehog lounging. He has a speech bubble that reads "I WANT every single union in the entertainment industry to go on strike within the next month. i want the creation of media to come to a halt. no TV show, movie or piece of media is worth the exploitation of the creative working class. the industry has moved too fast to house those that fuel it. a total strike. AND I'M NOT KIDDING."

OKAY people, I need your ATTENTION! It doesn’t matter if you’re a Reylo, Rinnrey, Finnpoe, Finnrose etc. (actually it doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of Star Wars at all)

I just saw a post that completely took my breath. Not in a good way.

Said post calls for people to “reblog if you want Adam Driver to suffer even MORE [from] anxiety for being an UGLY, islamophobic, UGLY, imperialist HIDEOUS person” I don’t even know what so say about this post I am in shock.

(In this post there’s also a blog -> (x) linked in which they reason their hatred towards Adam (I suppose, I only saw the first post.. I just couldn’t look at all their hate any longer)

I am simply speechless. I really have no words for this. WHY would you make someones anxiety worse? Because you don’t like a character that he is portraying? Because he stated that he went to the marines after 9/11 and you just assume it’s because he is islamophobic? (I thought I’d let you know by now that theres a huge difference between muslims and terrorists) And the most banal reason of them all.. because you think he is UGLY?

UGLY?

And the shocking thing was that 180 people or so actually reblogged that bullshit.

People, if you don’t agree with that horrible and extremly mean post, REBLOG mine. Reblog, if you think that Adam Driver is fucking beautiful, inside and out, and that he dosnn’t deserve people wanting to make his anxiety worse!

For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.
