NET NEUTRALITY IS IN DANGER. EVERYTHING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO FOLLOW AND ENJOY YOUR CONTENT–FROM WATCHING YOUR FAV YOUTUBERS TO POSTING ON TUMBLR TO READING COMICS OR, HELL, EVEN USING A SEARCH ENGINE.
IF THE FCC MANAGES TO CRUSH NET NEUTRALITY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY TREMENDOUS SUMS TO SEE ALL THESE WONDERFUL THINGS YOU ENJOY. ALSO, CONTENT MAKERS WILL HAVE TO PAY EXORBITANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO EVEN BE SEEN/HEARD SO GOODBYE TO SMALL BUSINESSES I GUESS.
REBLOG THIS. EVERY FANDOM. EVERY PLACE. TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR NEIGHBORS. LOOK IN THE NET NEUTRALITY TAG.
TUMBLR IS AUTOMATICALLY UNFOLLOWING THE NET NEUTRALITY TAG AFTER 20 MINUTES.
POSTS FOR NET NEUTRALITY ARE ALLEGEDLY BEING DELETED–I HAVE YET TO SEE ANYTHING OVER ROUGHLY 20 TO 100 NOTES IN THE TAG.
TWITTER WONT ALLOW YOU TO POST USING THE NET NEUTRALITY TAG.
TUMBLR IS OWNED BY VERIZON. Not sure if thats also twitters problem or not.
FOX NEWS IS ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES TALKING ABOUT THE END OF NET NEUTRALITY, AND THEYRE APPARENTLY BLOWING SMOKE, SAYING ITS A GOOD THING.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHECK YOUR FACTS, SEE WHATS UP BUT PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL REPS, YOUR SENATORS AND CONTACT THE FCC TO MAKE THEM STOP!
IF YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE FREEDOM ON THE NET, ENJOYMENT OF CONTENT AND LOSS OF COMMUNICATION ON A GLOBAL GOT DANG SCALE FROM AMERICA OUTWARD.
STOP. NET. NEUTRALITY.
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.
Anyway, I’m saving up… so my Papi and I can open another shop.
