It also means that companies like AT&T, which is trying to buy Time Warner, or Comcast, which owns NBC Universal, can’t favor their own content over a competitor’s content.

Title II does not go NEAR far enough.  The heart of the problem is that ISP’s should NOT be allowed to own Content Businesses.

Or be politically active.

Anyone can talk to anyone.

Read books.

Learn computer animation.

Watch movies.

We all need a free and open Internet.

One of the many things I use the Internet for is to share videos I make. This was from a video I was recording of Cory Doctorow’s talk at the University of Waterloo on December 4th, 2017.

Canadians (and folk anywhere in the world) can sign this petition.

Americans need to call their congress people, which is REALLY easy to do here
