User blog:Yappat/net neutrality and what could happen to wikia

there isn't a reason to panic, but im just here to spread awareness of what potentially might happen to the internet in the future if we dont stop this

so if you havent know what's been coming on today, you might see people talking about net neutrality on many sites.

what is net neutrality?
net neutrality is a principle that keeps internet providers from taking control over our privacy, activity or what we browse. this law keeps internet providers from blocking sites, slowing down and creating some system called paid-prioritization, where they create this stupid thing where if you pay, you get a faster loading time. yes that's right, they're gonna deliberately slow down website loading times and make you pay to make it faster

essentially, it's the freedom to browse internet

what's happening
today, either the 13th or 12th for you all, is a day of action against internet service providers attempting to take down net neutrality for good. thousands of groups, reddit, discord, wikia, vimeo and netflix to name a few are going up against ISPs from taking away net neutrality

what will happen if the internet service providers take away our net neutrality?
internet service providers will take over and control every website, including wikia. a lot of things will be censored and they'll deliberately slow down loading times. alongside that, they may add a "fast-lane" system, where you pay money just to load your websites faster. maybe we might pay money (or extra) just to access sites, which isnt fair

the internet would never be the same ever again

who's getting affected
people who live in america, but dont get relieved now, it might affect the whole world eventually.
