U.S. citizens and residents have one day left to comment on the FCC's plan to kill net neutrality. Final comments are due tomorrow Wednesday, August 30th, by end-of-day Eastern time (UTC -5).

Once the comment period closes, the FCC is supposed to review the feedback and use it as guidance to revise its proposal. However, it probably won't hurt to also contact your congressional representatives, given the antagonism of the FCC's current leadership towards both the public input and net neutrality itself.

    Net Neutrality legislation is not what you're told it is. Face it: You have not read and understood the legislation. The legislation is not the idea of "packet equality", it has vast censorship clauses and should be thrown out.

    Net Neutrality is aimed to restrict technological innovation and 1st amendment rights by conflating Unlawful with Illegal. It is not illegal for me to walk backwards and sing the alphabet song, but it is unlawful for me to do so, because there is no law explicitly permitting me to do so. Net Neutrality legislation has grouped "illegal content" such as child port with "unlawful content" (anything not explicitly permitted, such as new encryption or VOIP protocols or podcasts), and makes it legal to censor anything that is "unlawful content".

    You pro-net neutrality folks have been duped. Stop being morons and READ. Don't trust the compromised EFF who are leftists that would LOVE to censor the right under "hate speech" regulations, your speech goes next.

    News flash: The PATRIOT Act is unpatriotic. Net Neutrality is anything but neutral. It gives government a much desired censorship control over the Internet.
