Action: FCC Calls for Public Input on Net Neutrality
For a while now, the FCC’s kept lines of communication open to the public’s opinion of Net neutrality. But on January 14th, they’re gonna close the lines and come to a decision soon.
Net neutrality? What’s that?
It’s the principle that the people who you buy your internet service from (Comcast, Cablevision, AT&T, etc. ) can’t stop you from doing what you do on the internet. It’s the idea that internet service providers can’t stop you from looking at whatever you like on the internet.

Who wouldn’t be against that?
