What is net neutrality?
So Anon, I am very glad you asked this! Net Neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites. So, say you pay $19.99 a month for Internet right? All websites are included in that one price. You get Google, YouTube, Tumblr, and every other website for free after you pay the base coverage of $19.99 a month.However, Ajit Pai is trying to eliminate net neutrality, so companies that offer Internet service (Verizon as an example) can charge extra for websites and other applications on the Internet. So, again, say you pay $19.99 a month for Internet right? Well you only get a limited number of websites you can go on that are maintained and mandated by your Internet provider. So you wanna go on YouTube? Oh you have to by an extra $6.99 a month for that. You wanna go to academic websites for research? An extra $7.99 for that. You wanna go on Tumblr and Deviant art and AO3? Extra $4.99 a month for that. So without net neutrality, we are going to pay extra for websites that we use commonly everyday.Imagine having to pay extra to your Internet provider just to write a college paper. Imagine paying extra to seek therapeutic help through crisis websites for suicide and anxiety. Imagine having to pay extra just to express yourself online and keep our 1st Amendment, that we have freedom of speech and expression. These are just a few if the reasons why I myself am against it. Of course there are articles everywhere making the debate whether or not we should eliminate net neutrality. I’d highly recommend reading up on some of the articles, as they are informative, eye-opening, and have a clear basis as to what will happen if the government does vote to eliminate net neutrality.Hope this helps Anon!!!! -Admin Germane :3

It’s real simple: ISP lobbyists are pushing the FCC to kill net neutrality so phone and cable companies can block apps, slow down websites, and charge fees to control what you see and do online.
Our only chance is congressional pressure and legislative action. But we need grassroots support. Tell your representatives that you support “Title 2” rules and ask for their help protecting a free and open internet.

Due to the continued progression of the KOSA bill I would like to remind everyone, that this message reaches, that this is an over reach of government power. The constitution lines out that our government has no right to censor media. This bill has been proven by media outlets and its very own creator to violate the constitution’s first amendment, and the creator has stated that it is meant to be a direct attack on the queer community and media. This attack on our rights should meet a swift end as I hope we as the forces of tumblr can rally and vote to kill the bill on March 13th. If we stand idlely by and allow this to base our government will become more ballsy and I fear that eventually we may start to lose more of our rights as citizens. And so I shall say that it is in the constitution that if our government over reaches their power and does stuff like this we as citizen have the power to reinforce our rights and fight back against the government.

Anyways I’ve been getting over 380,000 notes a month easily and now I’m getting supposedly less than 1,000 a day. The ‘best stuff first’ feature has downgraded this site a tremendous amount, not only is the feature destructive to smaller blogs, they also somehow fucked up the activity page, and is no longer accurate or useful.
Staff on tumblr rarely responds to unanimous disapproval unless shoved in their face, so I’m asking you guys to spread this post, and others like it around as much as possible as to get the message into their thick heads - that this greatly devolves the tumblr experience.
Hello all. I’m here to address what no one wanted to talk about for so long. Tomorrow, the issue on net neutrality goes up for debate. If it goes through, that means myself and a lot of other blogs will no longer have access to our accounts unless we pay for it. Now, normally I wouldn’t be too worried. But 2017 has been full of surprises and I don’t really know what to expect anymore. If it does happen, it won’t take action until about 1+ years and by then, who knows. There will be uprisings, protesting, and so much more. So hopefully it won’t last forever. If this happens, I want to say thank you. Thank you for reading my work, supporting my account. Thank you for letting me share my love for all these groups.
I love you all.
