Don’t let the big telecoms trade your free speech for their own profit
The Internet has become so much a part of the lives of most Americans that it is easy to imagine that it is immune to change – that it will always remain the free and open medium that it is now. But there are no such guarantees.
If the telecommunication companies have their way, “Net Neutrality” could be a thing of the past; profits and corporate objectives could determine what you see and how you see it. Some of the strongest supporters of net neutrality lost their seats in the recent election, so telecom lobbyists will have more power than ever.
Don’t let it happen. Learn more about Net Neutrality and get the tools you need to help us fight to keep a free and open Internet.
Join us TUESDAY at 4 pm ET on Facebook. Jay Stanley, of the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy and Technology Program will hold a live Facebook Q&A on “Net Neutrality”. (To post your questions, make a comment on the Facebook page or tweet them using the #NNQA hashtag.)
