Error 404: Bunnies not found.

Net neutrality is what prevents Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T from:
  • charging us extra fees to access the online content we want
  • throttling, blocking, and censoring websites and apps
  • picking winners and losers when it comes to streaming services, games, and online content
Title II is the legal framework for net neutrality and FCC chairman Ajit Pai (a former Verizon lawyer) is trying to get rid of it.
The good news is that the FCC has to answer to Congress, so you have the power to protect net neutrality.
The FCC is currently accepting public comment (until July 17) on its proposal against net neutrality, which is ironically titled "Restoring Internet Freedom."

Please make the time to have your voice be heard on this issue.
Due to the FCC having a convoluted and confusing website, here is the direct FCC comment link for the "Restoring Internet Freedom" proposal (you'll need to click on + Express to fill out the comment page). 
To let Congress know where you stand on this issue, find your representative in Congress at  http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/

Dear Santa,

We appreciate your support! Knowing that you're disappointed in their actions will be a huge help.

Sometimes people need to be scolded to realize that they did something naughty that could actually hurt others. Hopefully this will help get them do what the American people want them to do instead of what a handful of already rich executives of companies want.

Love,

Simon and River

Hi Mónica!

That would be great if you could help spread the word to your followers. I have a Tumblr blog of the same name (you could also find the exact post easier by searching for: error 404 bunnies not found). Thank you so much for your support! :)
