blog.reddit -- what's new on reddit: Only YOU Can Protect Net Neutrality
The reddit community has been working hard to protect Net Neutrality with advocacy groups, companies and concerned individuals, and we are seeing real results at the FCC and the government. Over last week, congressmen & even other FCC commissioners are asking the Chairman Tom Wheeler to not move ahead with the flawed “Open Internet” proposal. Now is the time for you to give voice to the great & open Internet. The rulemaking process can take upto a year so we need to be ready to protect Net Neutrality for the long haul.
It’s important to take action today and this week, but please know that protecting the Internet as we know it will be a constant and ongoing fight.
