WORDS MATTER



In 2015 -- after millions of us spoke out -- the Federal Communications Commission put strong net neutrality rules in place. They protect the internet and make sure that Americans can use it for speech, commerce, and other important functions.  Now the FCC is trying to undo those rules and let internet service providers manipulate our data to suit their corporate interests. I oppose the FCC’s efforts to roll back Title II net neutrality rules -- and I urge you to oppose them as well. -- The Nation
