Today, I’ve joined with @SenateDems to support #NetNeutrality because we stand with the 86% of Americans, 82% of independents, and 85% of Republicans who want a free and open internet. #SaveTheNet
Last year’s effort to restore net neutrality had bipartisan support in the Senate, and I hope my colleagues will continue working to pass legislation permanently enshrining strong net neutrality protections in our code of law. #SaveTheNet
With more of our lives happening online—from education to entertainment, commerce to health services—we need to make sure that all Americans have access to a free and open internet. #SaveTheNet

Every time we think we’ve reached the bottom with this Administration, they sink a little lower. washingtonpost.com/national/healt…
Trump’s budget pays for his ludicrous tax giveaway by cutting $1.5 trillion from Medicaid.

Around the country, seventy-one percent of parents of children under age 18 say it is a problem to find quality, affordable child care in their area.
In an effort to help ease the burden and raise awareness for legislation aimed at tackling the nation’s child care crisis, I’m joining with working mothers to call for swift passage of the Child Care for Working Families Act.
I also announced my introduction of the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act.

Today Members of the European Parliament adopted three terrible proposals in the new #CopyrightDirective and rejected every good one, setting the stage for mass, automated surveillance and arbitrary censorship of the Internet. (1/6) eff.org/deeplinks/2018…
#Article13: the Copyright Filters. All but the smallest platforms will have to defensively adopt copyright filters that examine everything you post, and censor anything judged to be a copyright infringement. (2/6) eff.org/deeplinks/2018…

So, @AjitPaiFCC was all over TV today smugly celebrating the repeal of #NetNeutrality. But the reality is that he's going to lose. The battle for the free and open Internet rages on.

1st, contact your representatives at battleforthenet.com.

#NetNeutrality is NOT "dead." Yes, the FCC's disastrous and unpopular repeal officially went into effect today, but it's not going to last. We're fighting in the courts, in Congress, and at the state and local level. And we will win. #SaveNetNeutrality
Don't panic! The Internet isn’t going to come to a crashing halt. You won't be cut off from your friends. But starting today, your Internet provider is legally allowed to mess with you in a bunch of new ways, and it's only a matter of time before they do. #SaveNetNeutrality

THREAD:

I want to discuss #NetNeutrality at length, and why you should be scared.

Let’s discuss what losing this regulation would mean, and what it wouldn’t mean.
1/ You’ve probably heard the basics by now. #NetNeutrality states that internet providers must treat all data equally. That access to the Internet means access to the WHOLE Internet.

If we lose that, what happens?
2/ A lot of people are worried that it would result in widespread censorship of content, or cable-style pricing packages for websites, as in this popular graphic:

100% false. #NetNeutrality has been in practice since the beginning. What changed under Obama is greedy corporations started suing for the right to discriminate & charge sites more $$ to have reasonable loading speeds.
Startups & independent journalists who can't afford to pay to have their websites load reasonably will be slowed down like the days of dial up. These corps (like Comcast, AT&T, Cox, etc...) won their court cases. The courts ruled the ISP's could do this unless the internet was
declared a public utility, a telecommunications service like telephones. What changed was the FCC, under Obama, did declare the internet a public utility, the absolutely right decision. Nothing about the experience of the internet changed with that ruling. What it did was protect

THREAD: Why should the FCC's decision to totally repeal #NetNeutrality matter to you?
1/ Today @politico reported that the FCC plans to totally repeal #NetNeutrality rules. politico.com/story/2017/11/…
2/ #NetNeutrality rules prevent internet service providers from favoring or blocking certain websites. It also prevents them from charging you extra based on the content of a website.
