I kinda wish they let us know a day or 2 in advance, but...

From Battle For The Net (https://www.battleforthenet.com/breaktheinternet/):
We have just days. The FCC is about to vote to end net neutrality—breaking the fundamental principle of the open Internet—and only an avalanche of calls to Congress can stop it. So this Tuesday, December 12th, "Break the Internet" on your site, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, reddit, Tumblr, Youtube or in whatever wild creative way you can to get your audience to contact Congress. That’s how we win. Are you in?

There's all kinds of tools on that page (https://www.battleforthenet.com/breaktheinternet/) for you to use. So far, I've:
1 - Posted on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/greenguy89/posts/10156729739189897), Twitter (https://twitter.com/greenguy89/status/940500684826402817), and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/BcmKEawARhr/?taken-by=greenguy89).
2 - Changed my Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/greenguy89), Twitter (https://twitter.com/greenguy89/), and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/greenguy89/) profile pics & cover photos.
3 - Added it to the Link O'Rama main (http://www.link-o-rama.com/greenguy/mlinks.htm) & new sites (http://www.link-o-rama.com/greenguy/newsites.htm) pages.

Not sure what else I'm going to do, but I'll think of some other ways to help |thumb

LOL, I saw his remark on TV week ago, I wonder if "they" ( VERY RICH PEOPLE IN GENERAL and POTUS ( who is also very rich) ) maybe are aliens, out of this world just ruling the earth and are totally oblivious to everything, and saying things just to say something.

How many do you need? |pokefun|

But as far as I've understood, this will affect us all, won't it?

As far as I know, it's up to each country. Portugal seems likely to be fucked:

I should also say that if it's not put back into place & let's say Verizon (my ISP) decides to block sites or charge me a fee to access things as I do now, that would have no affect on you.

Not sure if you are seriously asking or not, but I'll say one of the political networks I follow mentioned this commercial and I figured, if you had not seen it, you would like it.

The BK that was near me closed but I looked on maps and found another just 10 minutes away. I will support whopper neutrality even thou I really cut having fast food to a twice a month maximum.

Ohhh ok. I asked because I posted it on FB about 5 hours before this & thought maybe you stole it from me|lol|
