Net Neutrality

So, who here likes the internet? All of you it seems. Well I'm sorry to say but guess what, the grinch is coming early to not only steal Christmas but also to murder the internet.

*enter dramatic music*

Now I know a lot of you are saying that this is the teririble and that this means that the government is selling out...

Which it is.

Now usually I'm not the one to get political and choose one side, being a moderate, but WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK IS WRONG WITH YOU AJIT PAI?! There are people who can't even afford to wash their cloths, Who use the internet on a daily basis, and you expect that they can just make money out of thin air. Guess what? He actually used to be a lawyer for Verizon.

The argument for the repeal of Net Neutrality is that the repeal will propmote a more free internet and promote the free market. Well that maybe true, but only for the jerkwads in the telecommunications industry. Orwellian logic is what he's trying to back it. Watch out or the thought police will bombard you with ads.

Now Net Neutrality hasn't always existed and we got along fine without it, but when the law was passed for Net Neutrality regulations that brought up the idea that the Telecommunications guys could have charged us extra to put us in fast lanes or banned sites that slander their name, not in the illegal but in the opinion way. Now that the idea that fast lanes and slow lanes can be created is out in the public, you can bet your bottom dollar that all of the big name internet service providers will charge you extra to get on YouTube. Well that's assuming that you still have a bottom dollar after the repeal.

Now the FCC has gone to shit but congress certainly wouldn't allow this right? Wrong, over 250 Senators and Reps from the House of Represntatives have sold their votes to Verizon or Comcast or AT&T or any other ISP.

So what are we going to do?

Buy the votes back? Move to Canada? Stop using internet if it has to come to that?

Sure, do those things, but all I see is a war already lost. Ajit Pai is trying to put a price on freedom of thought, information, speech, entertainment in the land of the free. Art will be censored, voices of change will be muffled, and information will come at a price whilst everything else may be straight up banned.

If the repeal is passed, America will have no longer be the land of the free. Good bye internet. It was nice knowing you.

First off, let me say I hate doing posts about me. Though this is a situation that I will do so for.  In case I can’t say this, later on, I want to say this now (tagging a lot of people for this) I am not going to stop fighting. I might not post on Tumblr about Net Neutrality, but I have been trying to fight it by getting it known in my real life. I am now taking a step and posting this on here too. Fair warning though, if Net Neutrality wins, I’m deleting this!  I’m 26 years old, and I suffer from depression. I don’t have a good childhood, and yet I still do have good memories of such childhood. I tried to kill myself when I was 13 and that is when I met the beautiful ladies of @magickandmacabreco they talked me into living. They told me that I was an amazing person for who I am and they have stayed by my side for what will be thirteen years by end of July. They are my sisters from New York. They are amazing and I love them dearly. They became my support system when I had none. Then when I was 18 I was suicidal again. This time because I was alone in the world. I had got fed of being bullied at the place I was in because I’m partially deaf. So I moved across the state back to my original home in New Orleans. Though by doing that I made myself alone. No friends, no family that was there for me because my grandma who I lived with would kick me out whenever I did one thing against her wishes no matter how small or stupid it was. That is when I met my darling @its-snowbell-petgirl (that won’t let me tag her so probably link her later) at school. We became fast friends, I never regretted it even through our ups and down, or that we rarely talk anymore. We can because of the internet gives us easy access to.  By end of the year, my grandma made us move up to the middle of the state. Isolating me again. Well from the first place, I stayed in contact with a dear friend of mine in real life. I was then betrayed by her... a REAL LIFE friend decided to spread lies about me and gave out all of my physical information and I was stalked, harassed, and nearly committed again, but @scarredruinness stayed by my side. She loved me when no one else would. She got me on my feet again. I fell in love with her, but she lives across the country from me.  Because of scarredruinness I was able to meet my real life friends, who meant the world to me. Now rarely talk to but when do it’s again because of the internet. Still, video chats some on occasions. That is my Darlings Amberly and Vi (Who don’t have on Tumblr as far as I know.) I love them so damn much, but living 5 hours away from each other is a pain so skype and discord and facebook is our chosen way of communication. ((Now without it, we might lose each other because what if one of us can’t afford the “plan” that has the way we normally talk on?)) Then at the end of the school year, I met the most amazing @horizonrise-tf who is my sibling, much like the magickandmacbreco ladies are. Helped me with stories, improved my writing and made me realize that my dream of being a published writer isn’t a pipe dream. Amazing, beautiful, soul. 

Then the next year I met @sunstarmonster and @ecombs-03 who are amazing and have even more improved my writing. They have supported me when my family has put me down and made me feel less alone. @scarredruinness does that too, but unlike scarredruinness, these two are like sisters to me that annoys me to no end.  Then this past two or three years I met so many beautiful souls. Wonderful friends who give me life and make me want to keep fighting and helped me get help and face darkness with help from my past loved ones. @pyroinquisitor @polkadot-soldier @naruto-scenarios-plus-akatsuki @sirius-and-remus-texting  @ayyyez @mrskokitztelford @callmemrskozik @dearcharissa/@hufflepuffholland @letmintdraw  @fatherlysuggestions @come-join-the-murder and many many more. This is just tip of the iceberg.  I don’t get to talk to them all of the time, but these are the people who mean a lot to me and are my friends. They are amazing people and not all of them are from America. They are from all over the place. The ones I would have lost cause of moving I didn’t, it just changed our bonds. These are the ones that I will lose if we lose internet. This is MY FAMILY that I’ll be losing. Hell, not all of the ones I want to name but can’t because they don’t have Tumblr but I met them on IMVU or another site completely!  If it weren’t for them, I’d never gone to the doctor about my depression. If it wasn’t for them then I wouldn’t have ever faced the darkness of my past, now trying to do the right thing to save other children from my past. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be on the path to becoming a published writer or teacher. I wouldn’t have gotten back into art again which is one of my passions.  Killing free range internet is just going to make me isolated again. Take away my family that I love dearly. I’m still am in a very dark place and still fighting my depression and need them. Even if it is just to get distracted by writing on fanfictions, or getting me in a mood for my original stories. Without them, I wouldn’t be here today. Without these amazing people, I wouldn’t be me I am. The me who is trying to become a better person.  So to the people, I tagged, and ones I didn’t, I love you all. You are all amazing people who have helped me through dark times, helped me keep my head up when I didn’t think I could anymore. I am happy I have people like you in my life. I don’t know what I would do without any of you. Just keep being amazing if we are taken away from each other, please you are all so much character and wonderful people.  Though if Net Neutrality dies, I will not stop fighting. I’ll protest to the very end. The internet is my freedom from my dark thoughts. My escape to my real family, even if not by blood. I never want to lose that. But I need you all to know.

What we lose when we lose net neutrality

[tomioneer]

As pretty much everyone here knows, net neutrality is absolutely vital to the functionality and freedom of the internet. Tumblr is already violating or at least skirting the laws and regulations of net neutrality with the way the site automatically unfollows the net neutrality tag for you after around twenty minutesto prevent you reveiving updates on the subject.

The internet was amazing. I will miss fan fiction,group chats, and gathering with like minded people to push forth change globally. It made a big world smaller. #ripinternet
