True, but no one needs to worry about scratch being blocked. It would be an incredibly dumb PR move and could take away many customers.

The Internet is under attack.
But we can still win.

The FCC killed net neutrality rules, but Congress can stop the FCC with a “Congressional Review Act” (CRA) vote. We have to win. If we don't, big ISPs like Comcast will control what we see & do online with new fees, throttling, and censorship. We need just one more vote in the Senate. Can you write Congress now?

We need one more Senate vote, then it's game on for net neutrality. Help us get that vote.

The FCC voted to end net neutrality rules, but Congress can overrule the FCC with the Congressional Review Act (CRA). Unlike a normal bill, the CRA only requires a simple majority in the Senate and House. Once we get the votes, we win. No filibuster. No procedural tricks. And we already have 50 of 51 votes needed to win. Can you help us get that last Senate vote? Focus on your state's representatives first and then target the 49 undecided senators. Once we win the Senate, the fight moves to the House, where we need over 25 Republican votes to win. So tweet and call your reps too!

Want to go above and beyond? Visit your member of Congress.
Meeting in person with your member of Congress is by far the most high-impact thing most people can do right now. Ever since the July 12 Day of Action, we've been helping set up Team Internet meetings with members of Congress. Click here to find a Team Internet drop-in visit, scheduled meeting, or town hall near you. If you're a local business owner who could be harmed by a loss of net neutrality rules, that's even more persuasive. Be in touch. team@fightforthefuture.org

Want to use your Internet connection to help catch net neutrality violations? Get this app.
ISPs like Verizon and Spectrum already violate net neutrality rules, but it's hard to spot. OONI, part of the Tor Project, helps catch net neutrality violations and other kinds of online censorship. Can you install the app on your phone, and set it to run daily? Visit TestYourInter.net to learn more, or download the app now!

It's mostly degraded to people arguing about the web's importance, but it's still going on for sure.

Uhh, I'm pretty sure this is the forum for Net Neutrality, not “Criticize others and put your opinion on them and concur with that same scratcher.” I don't like criticism, even though we are all on the side of net neutrality.

Well that and the slow implementation of extra charges for certain internet services by your cable companies until you soon have to pay for different net packages providing different services.

yeah. They seem to think they can get away with slowly implementing tiny net neutrality violations to prevent public outcry. The solution? Cause public outcry for even the slightest net neutrality violation, so they won't get away with it unseen

Net neutrality is pointless - it actually worsened internet quality - the ISPs couldn't block out or throttle malicious traffic or non-time-sensitive traffic like they will be able to now, which will mean those of us who stream will get better streaming, those of us downloading will get better downloading, and so on.
