How To Help Stop The FCC's Net Neutrality Repeal
Net Neutrality is extremely important, and Shacknews has compiled a bunch of ways that people can help.
The FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has announced his plans to repeal Net Neutrality rules set in place by President Obama. We now have three weeks to voice our opinions to our lawmakers to prevent this from happening.

Shout out to r/gaming for the info and Reddit users synbios16, vriska1 and tylerbrockett for compiling all of this information.
We live in a country where an oligopoly of companies control the bandwidth to the Internet, but we cannot give them the power that FCC Chairman Pai dreams of. There is still time for all of us to stand up for a fair Internet that is free of censorship and preferential treatment. Do it for Shacknews.

I filed a comment on the FCC's site and wrote my congressman, but he's an asshole so I'm not expecting much help on that front:

By his logic his 1930s ass shouldn't be legislating, time to retire, Grandpa.

Christ on a cross, this guy.
On the subject of climate change, he said in May 2017, "I believe that there is a creator in God who is much bigger than us. And I’m confident that, if there’s a real problem, he can take care of it.
Fuck me to tears.

Look grandpa, you probably need a kid to show you how to use your flip phone, so please don’t pretend you know about net neutrality.

This whole thing is terrifying.
As a Canadian I feel powerless to help, but you guys need to really get your shit together!-

unlimited. corporate money is speech. they will pay people like pai and pruitt to ensure what they want becomes law. it's that simple. our system is completely compromised, but the republicans don't care because it's "market forces"...
so yes, exxon and verizon and comcast and big pharma will have unlimited leverage over this administration and therefore congress. lobbying IS the government now.

Crosspost from the trump dump by itsjames

Apparently “someone” is flooding the public comment system with false support for this by using stolen real names and addresses of US citizens.
The FCC refuses to cooperate with the investigation. -

You do realize that Trump won an election right?

I think there's a limit of diminishing returns that actually goes negative on that front and we've been pushing that for at least 20 years.

So even if the FCC approves this, it’s probably never going to pass judicial review?

Eh, that's not much of a legal argument.
-
hmm? we are dealing with the "I will make it legal" era. Trump does not care about judicial review. like the travel ban, he will force it into the system and tweak it along the way until it's done. you think the so-called judges are a problem for the regime?
trump wants this badly. the internet will be shaped as the companies (or more accurately, the russians) want it.

he's openly threatened WaPo, NBC, and CNN. ensuring private companies will do his bidding (or again, the russians) means he wins outright.

The only interesting thing about Pai's plan is to turn it all over to the Federal Trade Commission. I've never seen a public official argue so well for his own obsolescence.
