Small doodle. Nothing big, but I do want to just quickly say a word or two.

I know many are sick of this conversation, especially considering, ACTA and PIPA and such have also happened before. They will keep trying. They will keep trying to make the internet into something where the big corporations have all the control. Comics, artwork, etc, everything may be weakened to the point where it's no longer possible for creators to publish their things independently. Even outside the US, smaller companies will be affected, as the US population will be shut out of certain services. It's the same as the loot box/microtransaction thing - maybe people will think "CHOICE" is what drives this, but no. Just like you used to be able to use cheats to skip certain things in video games, for which you now have the "choice" of paying real money, you already have a choice of which websites you want to visit. Killing net neutrality will simply make this choice a monetary transaction.

So, eventually, we'll have companies dictating what we can see, hear and say, because they can bar people who cannot pay from certain websites, or not offer certain services at all.

Please don't let this happen.

If you're in the US, this is your go-to: www.battleforthenet.com/

If you're outside the US, spread the word.
Thank you.

P.S: I will be streaming today, 18:00 GMT.
