This is one part of a larger picture of what our country is. Are we a democracy or are we an oligarchic corporatocracy? Destroying net neutrality is one more measure of the soul of America.

I support Chairman Ajit Pai’s rollback of Obama’s internet takeover. Title II regulation gives too much power to the government over the future of the internet. It has harmed innovation and investment. It also deters competition. Markets and consumers should regulate the Internet’s future, not government.

Preserve net neutrality and title II.

Please uphold Title II and net neutrality

I support Title 2 oversight of ISPs and net neutrality.

The internet should not be in the hands of communication companies to do with as they please

We need to keep Title 1 and 2. Net neutrality is extremely important, the idea that it is taken away is very dictatorial and anti American! John Oliver sent me! KEEP NET NEUTRALITY!

You're making a terrible decision if you end net neutrality.

I urge you to stop the FCC's plan to end net neutrality *before* the FCC's December 14th vote. In the end of this plan to end to net neutrality, people all across the world will lose their privacy and voices. People in poverty stricken countries who use the internet to raise money or peple who use the internet to raise awareness of certain causes will lose their voice to people who will pay to have their sites viewed. Keeping people anonymous to the public with the internet and keeping their privacy private helps people freely express themselves without being actively discriminated upon. For example, people on sites like Youtube do things such as speak on topics ranging from serious politics or humanitary events to things meant to entertain people. My friend at school is part on the LGBTQ+ community and he goes by the name "Daniel" instead of "Teresa". He's a great friend and has helped me through my times of misunderstandment and depression; but he keeps his sexuality secret to his friends because of the many discriminations of the world. If this plan passes, people will lose the ability to voice anonymously. Furthermore, people like Daniel will lose influence because higher paying websites will dominate the internet like a monopoly. This plan will not make the internet a better place but rather make the internet completely dominated by larger websites. Please do not pass a bill that lets currency stream to certain companies and let them get wealthier. The bill will not help entrepreneurs for people with money will have ore power. Thank you Ian Flores

Please preserve net neutrality. ISPs throughout the United States already play dirty with each other and find ways to make a quick dollar at the detriment of their customers; throttling, paid prioritization, outright blocking access to certain websites, and similar artificial restrictions simply exacerbate existing problems with our nation's Internet infrastructure. To put that aside, the Internet is the largest repository of information in human history; it seems to me simply unethical to go out of one's way to stifle such a creation. Please, keep the Internet free and open for all.

I support Title 2 oversight of ISPs and net neutrality.

In spite of what the new rather blind FCC chair thinks, regulations are there because someone in the past showed they couldn't be trusted to function responsibly without them. Having seen so many corporations act in a manner that places themselves before their customers, I have no reason to believe that ISPs will act any differently if given the chance. In fact, they already have in the past. I am not in favor of weakening Net neutrality. I am emphatically against it. This shouldn't even be on the table. The internet is for everyone, not just a few major companies who are already being paid for their service. Their customers should not be held hostage to their greed.

Please keep ISPs under Title II - our future depends on it.

Please reserve the net neutrality rules, it allows us to access all of the internet and does not leave the regulation up to the whims and delights of ISP. The internet is a vital tool for learning and has given a generation of people equal access to information, removing net neutrality will destroy this ability. Please protect the rights of an individual and not bend to large companies. Repealing Net Nuetrality is unamerican and would be the wrong thing to do for our country. I am firmly against this proposal!

I don't care who I see anymore you're not the most high I am I'm sober

Do not obstruct the internet freedom of the people of the world! Put in time and ensure the continued independence of the freedom of thought for everyone on earth! This is hugely inappropriate and disturbing! Do not allow this to happen!

I support strong Net Neutrality! Please don't destroy the internet!

Net Neutrality is the bedrock of our Internet landscape and loosening the reigns on ISPs is a terrible mistake. Corporations are greedy, especially giant conglomerates who think swallowing up smaller companies and bilking customers who have no reasonable alternative for Cable & Internet services is fair and reasonable. Please keep Net Neutrality for a fair and balanced internet landscape for all the players, regardless of size and scope. Thank you.

I support strong Net Neutrality supported by Title 2 over site of ISPs

I am an educator that empowers others to open the world to their students and the students around the world. The Internet, currently, allows me to digest and explore from all available information created by anyone both large companies and small starts. I like the idea of online competition. Competition has always been a part of our country. Competition allows great ideas to evolve and to grow and to eventually empower others around the globe. I need my students to live in a free information country where they can find the information to create the next generation of innovators, creators, communicators, leaders, designers, collaborators, etc. It is vital to the success of this country that we continue to allow this to happen. When I purchase Internet access...I purchase exactly that...Access to the Internet...not the internet! I purchase the ability to access all information and although I don't love some of the Mature content on the Internet, I do appreciate the fact that we all have the freedom to choose for ourselves (of course I don't include illegal material). As a teacher, I also have to complete hundreds of tasks a day to complete my work day and be able to unwind for the day. Should our speeds slow down, I would either have to go without sleep (a physical impossibility) or reduce my customer service for my students (reduce what I can do in a given day). I have access to 3 companies at my locations. Two of these choices are handsomely charged whilst the third choice offers adequate speed at a reasonable price. As a matter of fact, my first ISP provider only gave me a livable deal if I signed up for cable TV. We DON'T watch TV. How is that a better deal for us? With the available options, I only have 1 option for me and my 4 kids. If we didn't have access to our current ISP we would not be able to have broadband service at home and my children would not be able to keep up with their peers in school or with their peers around the world. They are currently involved with Khan Academy and taking classes to supplement their current curriculum. Removing the Internet from our home would reduce the impact my children could have on their world. The oversight required would ensure that things like invasions of my privacy, fraudulent billing, price gouging by broadband providers, an explosion of knowledge control, decreasing the ability for small companies to compete with the large companies.

Title II regulation is burdensome and unnecessary. It limits competition, and hurts innovation and investment. Therefore, I support FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s rollback of Obama’s Internet takeover.

I strongly support maintaining Net Neutrality. Free and open access to information is a hallmark of a great democracy. Allowing companies to dictate what citizens have access to is the antithesis of everything that America stands for as a country.

Please stop this and start listening to the public. Do not end Net Neutrality. Do not allow blocking, throttling and discrimination. Do not leave us at the mercy of the phone and cable companies. Don't do it! Tear up this proposal. Cancel the vote in December. Leave Title II and the open internet alone.

The internet is unlike any other form of communication before it, and its uses extend across so many fields, peoples, and walks of life. We can't destroy this chance at a new kind of equality by making it just another place segregated by money and power. We can't miss this opportunity to get it right!

I support strong net neutrality protections with title 2 regulations of ISPs.

I believe that the Net Neutrality Act is the main deterrent for ISP from making a biased web experience and from manipulating their customer base. I support Net Neutrality and the inclusion of ISP under Title 2.

My job depends on an open internet. I’m tired of the back and forth on this issue, and I believe that it’s time for Congress to join the fray and enshrine the principles of Net Neutrality into law.

Net neutrality is the internet's first amendment. Without net neutrality, speech will be owned by a handful of rich corporations. This is a bipartisan issue. This hurts 99.9% of the country. The rest sit on the board at a telecom company.

We support Title 2 oversight of ISPs and we support net neutrality.

Why do you not want Net Neutrality? As a Christian I believe you would be acting for the best interests of all humans, so why not support Net Neutrality? Support Net Neutrality!!!

I support the strong enforcement of net neutrality under Title II!

I want FCC to keep Net neutrality rules the way they currently are. I want you to enforce title 1 and title 2 rules to all internet service providers like verizon, charter, comcast and etc. I am oppose to the current FCC chairman who like to remove the Net Neutrality rules that were implemented under the last administration.

Keep Net Neutrality in place.

I strongly believe that ISPs should remain categorised under article 2 to maintain the tight regulation required to prevent them from subverting net neutrality. Any change to this regulation or as Verizon puts it "to the legal footing" would ensure the internet becomes an increasingly loud echo chamber for corporate interests that have the most power. This would fundamentally undermine the reason the Internet was developed, to allow maximum and unfiltered freedom of expression.

I support Title 2 oversight of ISPs and I support net neutrality. I also object to the dishonestly of labeling the issue "restoring Internet freedom," as the proposal does precisely the opposite.

It protects my privacy and my freedom of speech. My fellow citizens deserve to feel safe.

Trying to remove ISPs from Title II would be a huge mistake. Everyone would have to start paying higher ISP bills and higher internet entertainment costs (such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube Red, etc.). This will also be a form of censorship. What if Comcast does not like Reddit because they are lashing out in reaction to the removal of net neutrality? Comcast will start limiting how fast Reddit loads, and it will cause censorship throughout the Internet. If you remove net neutrality, you are going to ruin freedom on the Internet, and move our country closer to a dictatorship like Russia and China. Make the right call for the sake of the American people, and the world. Sincerely, Evan Phyillaier

Hello, I support Title 2 oversight on ISPS and net neutrality. Thank you, Candace.

The FCC push to lower the bar on net neutrality qualifies as pandering. The Internet is NOT up for sale to the highest bidder, certainly not by a government agency charged with maintaining communication as a service to the people, not corporate power. The current desperate attempt to erode the Internet subscribes to the drive-it-like-you-stole it tactics of a rogue administration that knows it must deconstruct our government now, before it is taken down by its own malfeasance. This transparent FCC attack on the public waves of the Internet simply apes other privatizing efforts including our education system, the U.S. postal service, our social security, and medical support. We know what they are doing and we, the people, will not allow our government to be mutated into a cluster of corporations. Thwarted by our unity, the FCC efforts, along with those of so many other turncoat governmental departments, will fail.

On a fixed income, tried, and can't afford any increases in my internet bill.

I'm filing a formal complaint against Ajit Pai's plan to repeal Net Neutrality.

I am opposed to many changes in the net neutrality of the internet. The big cable companies are already gouging the public on their cable tv and making you bundle services to get a better deal on a service but the bundle ends up costing you more. I am not against big users of internet having to pay a higher price for more speed and volume but that should be based on # of users. If you are a business and have x amount of devices, you should have to pay for extra internet inputs, just like having more than one phone line costs you more. Someone with 15devices working should not get the same amount of internet as som one with 1 or 2.

The FCC's job is to stand up for consumers, not big cable companies. To do that, the FCC must keep in place the current rules that protect net neutrality and the free and open internet. Without the current rules, cable companies can tell internet users like me what I can or cannot access on the internet. Cable companies cannot be trusted to protect the free and open internet - keep the current open internet rules in place!

Please keep Net Neutrality!!!

I support Title 2 oversight of ISPs and I support net neutrality. Eliminating net neutrality will negatively affect my job, as I work from home as a fact-checker and need access to the internet.

We need net neutrality, don't change it.

Please protect net neutrality. Thank you.

I support Title 2 oversight of ISPs and I support net neutrality.

I strong Net Neutrality through Title II Oversight of ISPs.

I support strong Net Neutrality back by Title II (2) oversight of ISPs. The internet should always be open and free. We Americans do not trust companies to properly regulate themselves, and feel that federal regulation is required.
