A Net Neutrality Protest Is Coming July 12

An online day of action is planned for July 12 in response to the Ajit Pai-led FCC’s introduction last month of a proposal to roll back net neutrality rules established by the FCC under Tom Wheeler, which treat broadband companies like a public utility, preventing them from such practices like slowing down select sites or entirely blocking sites.

Participating companies include Amazon, Reddit, Vimeo and Kickstarter. The efforts are also being supported by a number of nonprofits, including Greenpeace, MoveOn, the ACLU and Creative Commons. (Variety)
