Net Neutrality

To put it plainly, net neutrality is the battle against internet limitation. Internet service providers (like Comcast) want to limit the activities of their subscribers by slowing their data and removing access to websites they deem inappropriate or illegal. The FCC has supported net neutrality by laying down some laws that prevent Comcast and other service providers from doing this.

I, for one, am for net neutrality. I believe that the internet should be free and I believe that the service I am paying for should not come with idiotic limitations. Verizon has already started implementing plans that remove their unlimited data package in favor of tiered plans. Luckily, I was grandfathered into their unlimited plan. But if I was all of a sudden told that my unlimited data was about to be limited, I would probably start pooping bricks. I pay for the service that is outlined in my contract, therefore any extra obstructions would simply be unjust.
But listen, I'm a greedy bastard and not everyone is going to agree. Sobeit.
