If you live in the United States, your government is about to f&ck you big time.

"Net Neutrality" is the notion that your internet provider can't charge you more for going on Instagram or Netflix than for shopping on Amazon or doing a quick Google Search. Until a few months ago, it was also the law. However, unless the Senate votes to overturn a recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision to let Net Neutrality rules lapse, it will become legal for your ISP to charge you more for certain kinds of internet activity, and worse yet, to censor what you get to see at their discretion.

This is an artwork I did with Lordess Foudre in support of Net Neutrality. Unfortunately, this is also probably what the internet will look like if the Senate does not vote to save Net Neutrality.

No Net Neutrality means your internet service provider could decide to charge you for visiting Cryptocurrency exchanges to buy and sell coins. They could charge you for reading and posting on Steemit. They could even block access to these sites if they so chose. We've already seen how the credit card companies have reacted to the crypto world. What would happen if Comcast decided it was in its' customers' best interest to "be protected from the volatile world of cryptocurrency"? Fortunately, all it takes is a simple majority in the senate through something called a Congressional Review Act (CRA) to give the legislature the power to overrule the FCC's decision and preserve Net Neutrality in the USA.

If you are in one of the states highlighted in red below, PLEASE visit THIS LINK to learn more and contact your Senator.

I trust that no one here on Steemit, American or otherwise, wants to see Net Neutrality go away. So please, even if you don't live in the USA, or one of the states above, do your best to spread the word.
