Events in Washington D.C. over the next several hours stand to have a profound effect on the Internet as we know it. The Federal Communications Commission proposed allowing internet service providers to discriminate content. The effects of such a policy could be disastrous, akin to the defacement of a Modern Wonder of the World.
Please educate yourselves, and call on your representatives in Washington, and to call on the President himself, to stand firmly with advocates of open communication, access, and connection. Visit this site for an introduction to the concept of net neutrality, and the stakes of the FCC's position. Please visit Save the Internet and the Electronic Frontier Foundation to see what you can do to get involved and help preserve the open and organic nature of the internet.
