"Dear FCC" Campaign / EFF: 109,816

The FCC should safeguard Internet freedom by keeping the bright-line net neutrality protections in place and upholding Title II. The FCC should reject Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to hand the government-subsidized telecom giants like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon the authority to create Internet fast lanes, stripping consumers of the vital access and privacy safeguards we demanded and won just two years ago. I’m concerned about ISPs being allowed to discriminate against certain types of data or websites because users will have fewer options and a less diverse Internet. Thankfully, the current Open Internet rules mean that ISPs can’t block or slow consumers’ ability to see certain web services or create Internet “fast lanes” by charging online services and websites more money to reach consumers faster. That’s the best way forward to make sure competition in the Internet space is fair and benefits Internet users and small businesses as well as larger players. Chairman Pai’s proposal would transform ISPs into gatekeepers with an effective veto right on expression and innovation. That’s not the kind of Internet we want to pass on to future generations of technology users. The internet matters to me becuase it gives me full accases to things i need for school. And also gives me a way to be able to talk to friends who i never really get to see that offten. I urge you to keep Title II net neutrality in place, and safeguard Internet users like me.

The FCC should ensure a fair and open Internet for all by opposing efforts to undermine net neutrality. The FCC should throw out Chairman Ajit Pai’s proposal to hand the government-subsidized telecom giants like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T the authority to throttle whatever they please, stripping consumers of the necessary privacy and access rules we fought for and won just two years ago. I’m concerned about ISPs being allowed to discriminate against certain types of data or websites because ISPs could have too much power to determine what I can do online. Thankfully, the current net neutrality rules ensure that Internet providers can’t block or slow our ability to see certain web services or engage in data discrimination by charging online services and websites more money to reach consumers faster. That’s the best way forward to make sure competition in the Internet space is fair and benefits consumers and small businesses as well as larger players. Chairman Pai’s proposed repeal of the rules would help turn Internet providers into gatekeepers with an effective veto right on expression and innovation. That’s contrary to the basic precepts on which the Internet was built. Not just I, but everyone in my household uses the internet for a good portion of their lives. From school, work, and everything in between. Thank you for keeping Title II net neutrality rules in place to protect Internet users like me.

We need the FCC to defend the rights of millions of Internet users by upholding net neutrality protections. The FCC should throw out Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to give the government-subsidized telecom giants like Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast the authority to engage in data discrimination, stripping consumers of the necessary privacy and access protections we fought for and just recently won. I’m worried about creating a tiered Internet with “fast lanes” for certain sites or services because ISPs could have too much power to determine what I can do online. Thankfully, the existing Open Internet rules ensure that Internet providers can’t slow or block our access to certain web services or create Internet “fast lanes” by charging websites and online services more money to reach consumers faster. That’s the best way forward to ensure the Internet remains a level playing field that benefits Internet users and small businesses as well as larger players. Chairman Pai’s proposed repeal of the rules would transform Internet providers into gatekeepers with the ability to veto new expression and innovation. That’s not the kind of Internet we want to pass on to future generations of technology users. I am a veteran, partially disabled, on a fixed income. The Internet is my access to news, weather, culture, opinion, and much more. If my ISP started doing "cable packages" of what I could see for a "low low introductory rate," I couldn't afford it. These companies get a free ride for many infrastructure costs, and that should be enough for us to give them. Thanks for protecting Internet users like me by upholding the existing Title II net neutrality rules.

I’m calling on the FCC to stand up for net neutrality and safeguard Title II protections. Please reject arguments that prioritize the business interests of an ISP over my right to communicate and assemble online. The FCC should throw out Chairman Ajit Pai’s proposal to give the government-subsidized ISP monopolies like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T the legal cover to engage in data discrimination, stripping users of the vital access and privacy rules we fought for and just recently won. I’m worried about creating a tiered Internet with “fast lanes” for certain sites or services because users will have fewer options and a less diverse Internet. Thankfully, the current Open Internet rules mean that Internet providers can’t slow or block Internet users’ ability to see certain websites or create Internet “fast lanes” by charging online services and websites more money to reach consumers faster. That’s exactly the right balance to ensure the Internet remains a level playing field that benefits small businesses and consumers as well as larger players. Chairman Pai’s proposed repeal of the rules would transform ISPs into Internet gatekeepers with the ability to veto new innovation and expression. That’s contrary to the basic precepts on which the Internet was built. I use the internet to teach and learn. People need to be trusted to critique their own content without a funnel of approval. Thank you for keeping Title II net neutrality rules in place to protect Internet users like me.

As an Internet user, I’m asking the FCC to protect the net neutrality protections currently in place. The FCC should throw out Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to hand the government-subsidized ISP monopolies like AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon free rein to engage in data discrimination, stripping users of the necessary access and privacy protections we demanded and won just two years ago. I’m afraid of a “pay-to-play” Internet where ISPs can charge more for certain websites because users will have fewer options and a less diverse Internet. Thankfully, the current net neutrality rules ensure that Internet providers can’t block or slow customers’ ability to see certain websites or create Internet “fast lanes” by charging online services and websites money to reach customers faster. That’s exactly the right balance to make sure competition in the Internet space is fair and benefits consumers and small businesses as well as entrenched Internet companies. Pai’s proposed repeal of the rules would help turn Internet providers into Internet gatekeepers with an effective veto right on expression and innovation. That’s contrary to the basic precepts on which the Internet was built. I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it. The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them. The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard. Please leave the existing existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place. Thank you! I appreciate you maintaining Title II net neutrality rules and the rights of Internet users like me.

Chairman Pai’s proposed repeal of the rules would help turn ISPs into gatekeepers with an effective veto right on expression and innovation. That’s not how the Internet was built, and that's not what we want. The Internet means freedom to me. I am a web developer and I love what I do. It's really important to me to have unlimited access to the internet to be able to create and post stuff online and benefit from all the creative work other people are sharing. I appreciate you maintaining Title II net neutrality rules and the rights of Internet users like me.

The internet allows me to do things I couldn't do before. From connecting with people I wouldn't normally be able to, learning and broadening my mind, to helping friends and colleagues alike with their works and business. The internet has become something that is so integral to modern life that should it change, things will not get better for anyone. I urge you to keep Title II net neutrality in place, and safeguard Internet users like me.

The FCC needs to stand up for Internet users like me and keep the net neutrality rules that are already in effect. IÕm concerned about ISPs being allowed to discriminate against certain types of data or websites because ISPs could have too much power to determine what I can do online.

That’s not how the Internet was built, and that's not what we want. Open internet matters to me because it is how I communicate, educate myself, and conduct business. It truly is a utility that I and millions of my peers and countrymen use every day. Access to communication, information, and commerce should be as unilateral as possible, and I ask that your safeguard the access of citizens of the United States to an unhindered internet. Thanks for protecting Internet users like me by upholding the existing Title II net neutrality rules.

That’s not the kind of Internet we want to pass on to future generations of technology users. I am a teacher trying to equip my students with twenty-first century skills. Their ability to conduct research online should not be impeded by Internet providers. Students in poverty already have difficulty getting Internet access even as more and more schoolwork is moved online. These students would suffer even more if their Internet service slowed or if sites necessary to completing crucial assignments were made unavailable to them.

As a software developer, the internet is a major part of my work.

That’s not how the Internet was built, and that's not what we want. As a teacher, I rely heavily on outside resources that help me locate creative teaching tools and techniques that cost me nothing and give my students the help they need. My students also use the internet for various class projects (IE: researching a famous person) as well as free websites that are designed to help students build specific academic skills, such as computation practice. The internet is a valuable teaching resource that pay-to-play rules would limit. Thanks for protecting Internet users like me by upholding the existing Title II net neutrality rules.

By putting a price tag on different websites people may not be able to rely on the internet to help them solve their problems. Pricing the websites for search engines, different forums, and even tutorial videos people would be finicially strained to solve their simple problems.

That’s contrary to the basic precepts on which the Internet was built. As a freelance illustrator about to open up an online store, net neutrality is more important to me than ever. If other artists are able to promote their work better due to faster internet speeds or because a large company chooses to throttle traffic to my site due to whatever whim governs them, I will be at a disadvantage that could threaten my livelihood and independence. Other small unknown artists and content creators will also be at a disadvantage; friends who make videos and music, like my husband, will suffer greatly. Building a consumer following on the internet will be orders of magnitude more difficult than it already is. Those who take the leap into full-time content creation are more likely to fail, potentially indebting them or leading them to financial dependency on the government. Furthermore, as a consumer, I enjoy the diversity of content available to me on the internet. I enjoy the ability to quickly and equally access both large hubs like Amazon and small hubs like my friends' online merchandise shops. To be clear: This proposal does not benefit consumers. It does not benefit small, independent businesses and content creators. It doesn't even benefit the government, in the long run. It benefits the large telecom corporations and the large businesses with money to pander to them. It benefits those who already don't need the advantage. I personally urge you to oppose this proposal. I urge you to keep Title II net neutrality in place, and safeguard Internet users like me.

We need the government to ensure that these conglomerate corporations don't leverage those gifts to limiting their customers access to competing content. Please!

I’m concerned about ISPs being allowed to discriminate against certain types of data or websites because ISPs could have too much power to determine what I can do online. Thankfully, the existing FCC regulations ensure that ISPs can’t slow or block users’ access to certain web services or engage in data discrimination by charging websites and online services more money to reach people faster. That’s the right kind of forward-looking approach to ensure the Internet remains a level playing field that benefits small businesses and consumers as well as larger players. Pai’s proposal would help turn Internet providers into gatekeepers with the ability to veto new expression and innovation. That’s contrary to the basic precepts on which the Internet was built. I do my work on the Internet and web-based cultures. This is the only open forum for anyone with access to speak and learn and be heard. An Internet that's less open won't be worth it. Please protect speech, education, and community. Protect our access to open internet. Thanks for protecting Internet users like me by upholding the existing Title II net neutrality rules.

The FCC must protect the open Internet by maintaining net neutrality protections under Title II.

Pai’s proposal would transform ISPs into Internet gatekeepers with an effective veto right on innovation and expression. That’s not how the Internet was built, and that's not what we want. Small businesses have been in danger in the global economy ever since the emergence of chains and super stores. Many creators and entrepreneurs turned to the internet to either start or continue on with their ideas, since the real world market had become over run by those that had enough money to make themselves more well known. If NET neutrality protections were to be overturned, the free market economy that exists within the internet would no longer stand, and the internet equivalent of big box stores would be able to pay their way to the top rather than actually earn their views. Please keep the internet free of discrimination, if not for the simple reason of equality, than for the American ideal of capitalism based on a free market system.

Dear FCC, Please do not tamper or take away the Title ll net neutrality rules that provide rights for millions of users. Forcing unnecessary and costly taxes on users on specific applications will interfere with our FIRST AMENDMENT right. We are protected with the freedom of speech. Fast and dependable internet is an outlet and access to that right to use in a composed and productive manner. Us users also have the right to protest, and the internet is a far more sensitive and less invasive way to protest our opinions and beliefs. Taking away this platform will encourage individuals to protest in a more violent manner rather than allowing users to share opinions and gain a new point of perspective in a less invasive and peaceful manner. The internet is a comfortable and protective outlet for users to adapt new inspirations and hobbies. It is a place of solitude and escape. It is the place that most of us use when they are upset, stressed, and when we feel misunderstood. Therefore, it is a form of anger and emotional management and should not be tampered with since it is serving a purpose to revert and prevent acts of violence. I appreciate you maintaining Title II net neutrality rules and the rights of Internet users like me.

The internet matters to me because no one should have to be limited to nor censored in what they can or cannot do purely because of the corrupt nature of companies who want to charge ridiculous fees for however they deem fit. Many people need the internet for a variety of reasons, whether those reasons pertain to work and finances, social media, education, or etc. On top of that, companies should respect the privacy of their customers and wrongly use their power as providers to spy on and needlessly monitor their customers, whose only desire is to be able to use the internet without fearing that they may be blocked from doing what they need to do; whether it's because the cite is not belonged by the internet providers, because prices to be able to access this cite are too high, or because internet speeds are simply too slow to function on an affordable level while any high or reasonable internet speeds are too high in cost for the average customer below the economical 1%. Everyone deserves the right to fast affordable internet coverage without the constant spying and data discrimination for websites from internet companies. Because of big businesses that do these, this can cause a lot of harm to both consumers and owners of websites and online entertainers such as Youtubers, who rely on net neutrality rules so that companies may not keep consumers from being able to watch their videos, and therefore keeping them from being able to make any revenue in response to this. And finally, it's important simply because no person in their right mind wants to be constantly bombarded with the issue that they may not be able to work, pay bills or keep up with any other necessity they do online due to poor internet speeds and insane prices for decent internet from big companies, who are too focused on essentially robbing their customers of their money and essentially censoring what they're allowed to see and do when it isn't their place or right do to so in the first place. I urge you to keep Title II net neutrality in place, and safeguard Internet users like me.

This version of the internet is so important to everyone; for instance, it's important to artist who are just starting their career and need a way to spread their name, it's important to people like me who need to share important information about the things they're passionate about, it's important to the millions of people who use the internet to communicate with friends, loved ones, or even strangers who live across the world.

The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them. The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard. Please leave the existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place. Thanks for protecting Internet users like me by upholding the existing Title II net neutrality rules.
