Both groups need to calm down. Whether you're for or against net neutrality this issue affects us all and nobody's gonna win if we just sit here and scream at each other.

Of course not, but if Sandy Hook resulted in merely angry debates and no actual change, I don't feel like both sides are going to come together to fight for net neutrality.

I know that it being passed regardless is a grim possibility but i still want to try and fight against this bill even if it is pointless. So right now just try and spread this news around to any sites you guys go in so more can know about this.

I agree.
But, beacuse Trump is doing it, the hardcore of Trump's Cult will still defend it tooth and nail.

My only hope is this flips the edgy meme crowd from their focus on triggering snowflakes to fighting Trump's attempt to steal their porn and fast internet.

The FCC just announced its plan to slash net neutrality rules, allowing ISPs like Verizon to block apps, slow websites, and charge fees to control what you see & do online. They vote December 14th. But if Congress gets enough calls, *they* can stop the FCC.
We need calls! NationStates may be subjectable to internet tax! The great thing about NS its that its free! Free! Create as many nations as you like! But without net neutrality, ISPs can tax NS or make it slow! Awful! It would kill NS! Max Barry may shut it down! Join the fight!
Yes but it's also supported by ads and by donations, so it's unlikely.Naval Monte wrote:
Oh 4chan would be up at arms when they find out about this but knowing them chances are they are already aware of this. My job here is to spread this information around and to get others to do the same so more people would know about it cause for a while I only saw this on one site that I go to.
4chan? Fighting Trump?
No, those idiots helped him get into office.
They will just say "Oh! Your Triggered beacuse #MAGA!"

The FCC isn't the final authority. Congress can tell them to fuck off at any time

I mean REALLY?? Was that even meant to be a serious concern?? NO ONE is coming after NS. The only at risk sites are basically video streaming services. NS doesn't consume enough bandwidth NOR does it have a high enough profile for anyone to care. You don't NEED to overstate the issue!!
Also, THERE IS A SIMPLE SOLUTION.
USE A VPN.
They can't throttle your services if you use a VPN. If we all just used those simple privacy tools Net Neutrality wouldn't even be an issue.
Also, with the amount of other problems a VPN solves, you should already be using one anyways.
Concerned with your ISP tracking and selling your internet history?? Use a VPN.
Concerned with your anonymity?? Use a VPN.
Concerned with government surveillance or censorship?? VPN.
Concerned with Net Neutrality?? V. P. N.
A very simple solution and you NEVER need to worry about Net Neutrality ever again.

it may stop people from coming to NS cause of slow speed or prices.

Why should we need a VPN when there is a law already doing this?
Why pay an extra 3 bucks?
