Alright. Let's come clean here. Net Neutrality is a really big deal. It's literally the freedom to browse the web! On December 14th, 2017, the FCC will vote to get rid of Net Neutrality - for good.

Not concerned yet? By killing off Net Neutrality, certain websites will be blocked by your ISP (Internet Service Provider - Where you get your WiFi), or even worse, Scratch may become gone - also, for good. That means either no more Scratch for the rest of your life, or you will need to pay for it. The same situation applies to every website in existence.

What the real question is, is what will happen to scratch if The FCC kills Net Neutrality?

(Technically) It was advertising, but it was in the right place. Also, it wasn't Necroposting, it's been active for a while.

How is this advertising in the right place?
You might want to review what necroposting is on the Wiki, this topic hasn't been active at all since early February.

All will end soon.

It is going to be started on April 23rd. so tomorrow is its effective start date. It was stated in the vote, but wasn't for sure. Now it is.

Is it okay to bump this? Net Neutrality is becoming extremely relevant again, what with the new date of the repeal becoming effective being June 11th.

I don't think it counts as a necropost, since this is becoming relevant again, and they were adding something.

Ok. Now this is bad!
I'm Going to follow this.

Not even a week.
Note: Will affect me in Australia?
I'll only care about Google, Slatch, Bruise and Scratch

In the highly unlikely event that NN gets killed, I highly doubt Scratch will be affected. We have nothing to fear

Net neutrality is only getting repealed in America, but it will also affect you a little bit because your online friends and associates from America will have a very hard time accessing the internet.

Net neutrality is dying on June 11th, and a lot of websites will be affected. I doubt Scratch won't be unaffected. I personally think you're trying to sugarcoat things.

Luckily for me, and most people living in California, the state has put net neutrality-like laws, so if you're living in California, you're pretty lucky.

What about the smaller states? I live in one of the smaller states.

That is, unless you work for a cable company.

Really? I hate the 60-second rule.
