Urban Dictionary, Bandcamp, Automattic (who run WordPress), and Discord are among latest major web platforms to join the Internet-Wide Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality scheduled for July 12th to oppose the FCC's plan to slash Title II, the legal foundation for net neutrality rules that protect online free speech and innovation.

[...] More than 50,000 people, sites, and organizations have signed on to the effort overall, and more announcements from major companies are expected in the coming days. Participants will display prominent messages on their homepages on July 12 or encourage users to take action in other ways, using push notifications, videos, social media, and emails.

The effort is led by many of the grassroots groups behind the largest online protests in history including the SOPA blackout and the Internet Slowdown. The day of action will focus on grassroots mobilization, with public interest groups activating their members and major web platforms providing their visitors with tools to contact Congress and the FCC.

    There are few things more pussy than basing your philosophy on the opposite of what the group you don't like does. Or is this another one of those things where you don't really mean "the supporters of network neutrality" and it's easier to be a little bitch instead of stating your opinion?

    Also, "wrong side": Pussy to the max
