The Big Step ( Net Neutrality)

-
As scary as it sounds, net neutrality has arrived. On December 14th, 2017 was their first vote against Net Neutrality.  Wiki states that Net Neutrality is  "  is the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.[4] For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and onlinecontent. " 

 It's sad to think that Donald Trump is stooping that low when we have to pay for everything. I honestly hate it. It is so unfair.  I stumbled upon one page where if I break that law I have to pay a fine of a $500,00.00 fine. 

 Who has that type of money? What would you do if you're a college student and don't have a way of getting to classes and you're studying online. Like for example. You're in military and you're almost done with your Masters and have to just have to finish your degree. Or you have that one time problem with an enemy that ruined your life and you want to stay low. Low, low ,low. So that no one sees you in school. 

 He already ruined your life. But let's talk about net neutrality here. Net neutrality is an expensive legal process where if we break the law by going to our favorite websites like facebook , google or any other search engines which allows us to search for our favorite websites like youtube, facebook and any other given website that you guys go to. Will be all regullated that CNBC posted on guidelines of Net Neutrality. 

 1. ) Net neutrality advocates say broadband internet providers would charge more for faster speeds without the FCC protections

 2. ) Opponents argue the rules are effectively price controls that stifle investment and limit consumers' options

 3. ) 
  • Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai has said he wants to repeal the Obama-era rules.
Written by Kevin William B from CNBC , this article states that the appeal of net neutrality will go on Thursday as of December 3rd, 2017. The internet ISPS which stands for internet service providers, and companies like Verizon, Comcast, or AT&T from slowing or censoring traffic. 


On December 7th, 2017 in Chicago Illinoise Democrats protested with signs and slogans like, " Ajit Pay  Save Neutrality. " . Where Democrats supported the plan to save internet. 

What does ending Net Neutrality mean for you? 

The 3- 2 vote failed to repeal net neutrality on December 14th, 2017. The changes will soon start take on November 21st.

" Today, I’m proposing to repeal the heavy-handed Internet regulations imposed by the Obama Administration and to return to the light-touch framework under which the Internet developed and thrived before 2015,” Pai wrote on twitter the day of announcement.  (Says fortune.com )

This is what the internet will look like with net neutrality. And the reality of it is, it's already happening.

The Home They Loved.

The Home They Loved It wasn’t later today when June got really, really hot. This was the hottest month of the year. The weatherman stated. “ Boy it’s hot today folks! “ . The television spoke out loud. She was in her small kitchen where the kitchen had a very small circle like table that was indeed left over and carried on from the previous owners of the house and was given almost like as a gift to the buyers. Which were, off course my parents. My parents bought the house back five years ago. It was honestly a surprise for me. I had no idea what’s so ever. The house was beautiful. My mom definitely has a way with words and furniture. The house did not stand alone. It matter off fact, stood with neighboring homes. One to the left and one to the right of the home that my parents owned. Not only that, but there was a street across the house where other homes resided and stood quietly like as though the homes were untouched. Merely left alone. To its owners who lived there. ...
