Net Neutrality Protest Day

from the bit-late-to-the-party dept.

We're a bit late to the party, but for those who haven't seen on the Internet, today is a protest day for Net Neutrality, where sites across the internet are disrupting their normal operations to get the word out and get people to send a message. Ars Technica already has a fairly decent summary of who's doing what, and we stand with them and the rest of the Internet.

Due to real life issues, I was late on getting this together, but for the rest of the day, this article will remain on the top of the page and we will be blacking the theme of the site in protest [Technical issues among others precluded our doing so today --martyb].

If you're a US citizen, and want to get the word out, check Battle for the Net, and get the word out. In addition, there are long discussions going on reddit and other sites throughout the internet

Let's get the word out!

    Self serving assholes will always turn everything into a cash cow. Internet will not be an exception unless its users fully deter such actors.

    They already where defeated once the last time NN won. This time though they've gone the let's-pay-off- the-politicians-to-get-our-way route and are, at least at present, apparently winning this fight this time around. We shall see if this recent attempt to recreate the 'STOP SOPA' size of response that will be needed to sway this administration's cadre of cowardly clowns.
