Support Net Neutrality and Save the Internet

Bloggers take heed...

Can you only imagine if your internet provider or even your government had the right to tell you what websites you can go on? What if they had the power to limit your internet usage and the speed for you to upload a video or a website? There's a good possibility this could happen.

Thanks to Kmont, I found out about the Save the Internet coalition that has two million everyday people who have banded together with thousands of non-profit organizations, businesses and bloggers to protect Internet freedom.

Let's hear it for Net Neutrality! Net Neutrality is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet.

Net Neutrality means that Internet service providers may not discriminate between different kinds of content and applications online. It guarantees a level playing field for all Web sites and Internet technologies.

Net Neutrality is the reason the Internet has driven economic innovation, democratic participation and free speech online. It protects the consumer's right to use any equipment, content, application or service without interference from the network provider. With Net Neutrality, the network's only job is to move data -- not to choose which data to privilege with higher quality service.

This video gives you a better idea of what Net Neutrality is all about. There are some recognizable faces on the video such YA author Maureen Johnson and actor Wil Weaton. (Wil is so adorable, and every time I see him, I think back to my Star Trek: The Next Generation watching days)



Join the almost 2 million people and sign the petition! Let's hear it for the power of the internet and the freedom to watch as many cute kitten videos as you want, including those favorite naughty videos of yours. It's your right and the freedom to have your own blog and visit other sites that bring you joy and a way to share ideas and opinions without censure.
