Hey, everyone. How's everyone doing, today? Did anyone did their Christmas or Hanukkah shopping? I know I did.
I've been tired lately, but, more importantly, trying to be productive. I'm even more productive on Goodreads which is great, because I love having to interact online. ^^
Speaking of online, I'm not always comfortable about talking about politics, but this is serious. Just a week ago or two, I found out that the Chairman of FCC is trying to repeal the Net Neutrality.
If nobody does not know what Net Neutrality is, it means that people can have free access on the internet. You can to any website, whether it is popular or not. But if Congress repeals the act, then you won't be able to access internet. What happens is that you have to pay extra dollar just to access the websites that you want to go to.
This is an issue, because not a lot of people can afford to pay extra dollar just for accessing websites. It can affect not only businesses, but also students in schools/colleges, youtubers, and self-publishers.
So here are my suggestions. Since the voting will begin on Dec. 14th, you need to convince your senators in your sate, convince them why you need Net Neutrality. You can also contact Congress from repealing them. My sister and I have been convincing some senators in our state and they have understood and will be on our side. So you can either contact your senators through phone or letter (preferably phone call).
Another idea you can prevent Net Neutrality from repealing is to sugn petitions. The more you sign, the better that Congress knows that you support it. But most all, you should spread awareness about it, so other people can save Net Neutrality.
I hope this information helps you. I don't want to scare you guys, but it is important to know about it. Please let me know if you have any questions. In the mean time, stay up-to-date and enjoy the rest of the week!
