Save the Internet!

The just cause for Network Neutrality.
Network Neutrality — or "Net Neutrality" for short — is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet.

Net Neutrality ensures that all users can access the content or run the applications and devices of their choice. With Net Neutrality, the network's only job is to move data — not choose which data to privilege with higher quality service.

Net Neutrality is the reason why the Internet has driven economic innovation, democratic participation, and free speech online. It's why the Internet has become an unrivaled environment for open communications, civic involvement and free speech.

Laten we hopen dat de Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act of 2006 (COPE) het niet haalt. Ik mag er niet aan denken wat dit voor gevolgen kan hebben op de door Amerika zo hoog in het vaandel gedragen Freedom of Speech.
