Net Neutrality, a concern of loosing it

Hello Steemit community, something that I would like to address today that I feel greatly concerned about is the topic of the Net Neutrality laws. Now for those who don't know what I'm talking about 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." If this were taken away from us, then whats to say your internet provider won't start charging you for being able to access websites like Facebook and YouTube, or better yet block websites that may hinder your internet providers income source. For example an Internet provider may not like the Google search engine. Your internet provider may block all access to Google and promote the use of Bing. Up until basically 2015, there were no strong rules for ISP providers. Thus in 2015 broadband internet was reclassified as a common carrier under Title 2 of the Communications Act of 1934 and Section 706 Telecommunications Act of 1996. However up until recently chairmen of the FCC, Ajit Varadaraj Pai proposed in April 2017 to end Net Neutrality. On Tuesday November 21st, 2017 Ajit confirmed a plan to have a vote on December 14th, 2017 to eradicate Net Neutrality. If this goes through then our freedom on the Internet as we speak will cease to exists. Sure people may be willing to pay an extra $5 or $10 dollars to the entertainment package to access certain content, but should we really have to go through that? Be mind controlled and told what we can access? I think not. We as a human species should have every right to be able to access whatever we want to on the open internet. A famous quote that I've came across by Tom Clancy really puts into perspective how bad the world leaders want to control us, “The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.” I for one do not want this to happen. I ask of you to please share this on social media and spread the word. One way i found interesting is to sing a petition. Here is a link to whitehouse.gov that have already started ongoing petitions, "https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/replace-ajit-pai-fcc-restore-net-neutrality-make-last-mile-networking-public-utility-and-stop-corporate-abuse-0" You can also test resist to 504-09 it will ask for your name and other info and will send a message to your senators, representatives, governor and the president. You can also directly call your representative and tell them why you want to keep Net Neutrality and how its important for the open internet. If you happen to be a Verizon customer, not too sure if you can participate from not being a customer, there are several cities across the nation that are going to meet 5 p.m. local time and pressure on Congress into making a change. List of the cities are included in this link"http://www.verizonprotests.com/". If you live in the Washington D.C. area, on December 13th just a day before the vote a team of organizers called Defend Net Neutrality plan a protest from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. If your familiar with the HBO Political talk show host John Oliver, then this man delivered a stunning speech a few months back over the deal with Net Neutrality and how we can fight against them repealing it. Here is the video as shown on Time.come " http://time.com/4770205/john-oliver-fcc-net-neutrality/".

If this is not enough information to wake you up and realized whats going on and how serious the situation is, then I would like to ask of you to research the topic yourself and education yourself on it before going out there to defend Net Neutrality not knowing a single thing your talking about. I thank you for your time and please remember we must fight for our right to keep the Internet open.
