Net Neutrality

What is Net Neutrality? Net Neutrality is about choice. Being able to choose to view whatever you want on the Internet. The Internet should be a place free of restrictions where people can express themselves, share ideas, opinions and talents without unnecessary censorships.

Advocates of Net Neutrality would like to it should be made into law and content providers such as Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft argue that network neutrality law is necessary because without law the free and open nature of the internet will be destroyed and also create a tiered, dollar-driven net that favours the wealthiest corporations over everyone else. Do we really want corporations dictating what we are able to see on the Internet?

Internet Service Providers want to end Net Neutrality. They intend to set restraints on parts of the Internet by charging website money in order to have access to it. Thus meaning that only wealthy corporations would be able to have websites. There would no longer be a flat level system in the Internet and a majority of users would not be able to have full use of the internet.

I feel that it is up to us, the general public to send our political leaders a message and show what the Internet should be and how it should be used. The Internet must remain accessible and neutral to all who use it to explore or share.
