Ey guys, legenda here. So I'm curious about this one. The FCC(Federal Communications Commission) have given two choices : To save Net Neutrality or letting Comcast and other ISPs create Internet slow lanes. We need to contribute at this battle, Right now. www.battleforthenet.com
Since we won, Team Cable will attack net neutrality again. To all marble blasters and internet users, Are you ready to defend net neutrality again?

DISCLAIMER: I will be heavily moderating this topic to make sure it does not get out of hand because of its political nature.

For those of you who don't know what this is (or those who don't care, well you should as this affects you), it is about keeping the internet open. The cable companies want to provide these so called "fast lanes" and "slow lanes" effectively creating a monopoly out of the internet.

I can't explain it any better than the Mr. John Oliver himself, so please take 15 minutes of your time to watch this video, it is very important for the future of our internet as we know of it today.

[WARNING] this is HBO, so there is some adult language. You have been warned.



Thanks

If ISPs do get away with what they plan to do, my internet may literally become dialup-speed. :C Just sayin'.

Just less than 13 hours from the big decision. If this goes bad, it will have more monumental consequences on the internet than even SOPA or PIPA could have caused. C'mon, FCC! The internet is a utility!
