Comcast Violates Net Neutrality. We Can Stop Them.
<http://action.freepress.net/ct/TpemLDM1CjGZ/>File Your Own FCC Complaint
Comcast has given us a glimpse of a world without Net Neutrality, and
it's a chilling sight.
An investigation by the Associated Press caught the cable giant
secretly inspecting online communications and crippling users'
ability to share information with one another.
This is a gross violation of Net Neutrality -- the longstanding
principle that ensures a free and open Internet.
<http://action.freepress.net/ct/TpemLDM1CjGZ/>Tell the FCC: Save the
Free and Open Internet
Today, Free Press filed a legal complaint demanding that the FCC take
action to protect the free flow of information on the Internet. By
joining our complaint, you can help stop Comcast and other
gatekeepers.
The future of the Internet is far more than Web sites and e-mail.
People are now using new peer-to-peer technologies to upload and
share videos, photographs and music. They are innovating without
permission from Internet gatekeepers.
Comcast is trying to shut down these innovations and treat the
Internet like cable TV -- where they get to pick the channels you can
watch. They're stifling the free exchange of ideas that makes the
Internet so revolutionary.
<http://action.freepress.net/ct/TpemLDM1CjGZ/>Tell the FCC: Stop
Comcast and Other Gatekeepers
You're the only person who should decide where you go, what you do,
and whom you connect with on the Web. Net Neutrality protects your
right to choose.
Phone and cable lobbyists have called Net Neutrality "a solution in
search of a problem." Well, here's the problem. In the past three
months, incidents of censorship and blocking by Verizon, AT&T and now
Comcast have made headlines around the world. That's just the tip of
the iceberg.
We stopped these gatekeepers in 2006. We can stop them for good by
taking action right now. It's time to restore Net Neutrality once and
for all.
Thank you,
