Right now the Internet is held at a Title II level

If you don’t know what this means, here’s the meaning:

It’s held the same way food and water are held – important and easy accessable

Ajit Pai wants to take away that Title II status. He wants to make the internet a Want, not a Need. We live in the age of technology, internet is a basic need for survival now. You need the internet to access information, continue education, get a job, and in some cases: get food and water. Yes, you can do your grocery shopping online now, which is a huge help for people with any type of special needs.

I’m seeing so many posts about losing their favourite youtubers or never reading fanfiction again. Both good points, but that’ll never get you your internet saved.

Talk about the real dangers. People starving at home because they don’t have anyone to get them groceries. People dying because they can’t search up to see if their symptoms are ‘more than the common cold’. Thousands not knowing what to do in a natural disaster, having no way to receive proper education on what to do in their situation. Millions of potential highschool and college dropouts because they have to pick between education and whether or not they want to eat for the next month.

These are real dangers. Our poverty rates will rise indefinitely if the NN is destroyed.

If you’re thinking about your fanfiction, your youtubers, your fanart, stop for a moment and think about the other things. Think about how you might actually be able to have those things, while another family gadds to the unemployment rate
