RE: Net Neutrality is being Repealed. - Lord Windos - 07-01-2018
That's more or less my opinion, but the problem is that either the coporations lobbying for the abolition of N.N. only care about meeting THERE needs and desires and have bought off/strong armed Congress enough to caper to them, the politicians have their own interests in seeing N.N dead , or they simply don't care. I wish that whomever got the idea in their head to get rid of N.N. get several steel toe boats planted where the sun don't shine, but we don't live in such a fair or caring world...

What...? Oh, I'm sorry, I was just polishing these huge, steel toe, gothic platform boots that I wish I'd own but never will to prepare for kicking some ass...
Eh, I grew to believe that those people who wouldn't mind Net Neutrality being repealed are these who will end up not being affected by it, or very little only: Members of the older generation. People who don't know what young adults like us who either (figuratively) grew up with the internet or are used to spend a lot of time there do while being online, they probably aren't aware of the culture of sharing memes, fanart and fanfiction for others to enjoy, neither of how some people can live of YouTube. Besides, these will likely end up loosing their job. :C These 'older' people probably only know Google and E-mails and little more, which won't be affected if these upload filters start doing their controversial work.

Updaaaate~
I don't know if the following petition can be signed by anyone who's not living in the European Union as it asks to varify your email adress, but it'd be worth trying and I'm just trying to share the link wherever possible to do my part on reaching the goal of one million signatures. If it does, thank you!~

I had no problems signing the petition (whether or not my signature is counted is a different story) so it seems like people from different regions can sign the petition. (^v^)
I've got a halberd here for shoving up some selfish b's bum that says that net neutrality should end...

If you could varify your e-mail and got redirected to a page that asks you to donate something to further spread and support things, I see no reason why it should not count, thank you so much!!
Come on people, we've almost reached the 700.000 mark! Let our voice be heard!

*creates a 300,000 strong army of spam-bots to finish off the petition*(jk, i don't know how to program at all

I would have never believed that I'd appreciate a Bot more than one of these imaginary 300,000 ones.

Already put my name right in this moment too. Lets save the internet!

ah... here we go: a tutorial on making bots maybe someone who's more tech-savvy than myself can abuse it to finish the petition
btw if linking this tutorial here is a no-no, let me know & I'll remove it.![[+]](images/collapse_collapsed.png "[+]")
bot armyEDIT: on second thought:
a) the thought of someone using it to swamp us with spam-bots is scary.
b)it would be a little unethical to use bots for something like this. even though it's for a good cause...
