Even though the FCC decided to gut net neutrality and completely ignore what the people want, despite the many, many protests people have done, the US Senate is holding a vote to block the repeal of net neutrality and keep things as they are, a place where Internet Service Providers can’t slow down traffic as they please. This Senate repeal has been building up for ages as people have been trying to convince a handful of senators for a while, to get those 51 votes to pass.

Normally I wouldn’t really care about their stuff (and if you do decide to fill in the form, feel free to immediately unsubscribe from them) but someone out there is threatening my internet connection and the Daily SPUF, which is hosted on American servers, so I feel maybe this Net Neutrality stuff is worth talking about. Being a person on the internet, I assume… [Continue Reading]
