Welp. It's that time of the year again - the time we have to raise our voices and protest, once again, against future laws proposed by some idiot(s), that will jeopardize the functionality of the Internet.

So, for those of you who don't know, Net Neutrality is essentially an idea that states that cable companies should treat all data the same, not charging differently, nor discriminating, by user, content, site, etc. This is something that we need and it's something I believe everyone around the world should have. However, certain cable companies in the United States of America don't like this.

These same cable companies (Comcast, AT&T, Time Warner Cable, Verizon...) are now super-enriched monopolies that have tons of lobbyists backing them up. Some of them are Senates. And with this, comes two names: Tim Murphy and Richard Hudson.

Let's not let these guys get what they want. It's already bad enough that other cable companies to grow while these monopolies swim in their money-filled pools?

Personally, I am getting sick of these people constantly trying to take away everyone's rights from the Internet. I live outside the USA, but I don't know if this will or will not affect other countries, so might as well warn everyone.

This is ridiculous. We were able to put net neutrality back in place, but now it seems that greedy cable companies in America are trying this crap again. When will they learn that doing repeat performances like this is only gonna make them even more pathetic than they already are? Comcast was voted overall worst American company in 2014 on Consumerist, and I switched out of them for Verizon when that happened. :|
