The FCC should ensure a fair and open Internet for all by opposing efforts to undermine net neutrality. Please reject arguments that prioritize the business interests of an ISP over my right to communicate and assemble online. 

The FCC should reject Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to hand the government-subsidized telecom giants like Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast the authority to create Internet fast lanes, stripping users of the meaningful privacy and access rules we fought for and won just two years ago. 

I’m worried about creating a tiered Internet with “fast lanes” for certain sites or services because

* Users will have fewer options and a less diverse internet
* ISPs could have too much power to determine what I can do online

Thankfully, the current net neutrality rules mean that Internet providers can’t block or slow users’ ability to see certain websites or engage in data discrimination by charging online services and websites money to reach consumers faster. That’s exactly the right balance to make sure competition in the Internet space is fair and benefits consumers and small businesses as well as entrenched Internet companies. Chairman Pai’s proposed repeal of the rules would help turn ISPs into gatekeepers with an effective veto right on expression and innovation. That’s not the kind of Internet we want to pass on to future generations of technology users. 

I appreciate you maintaining Title II net neutrality rules and the rights of Internet users like me.
