A person up to date in today's society must acknowledge the importance and the parcticality of the internet. Just as in other areas of society, personal freedoms are stretched to the very limit on this modern invention, raising isuues in regards to what type of information the internet should be allowed to broadcast. Since its inception, the internet has spawned overnight millionaires, served as the new information medium, and even played host to some heinous crimes. The topic of greatest concern though, is in how the people legislate the division between what is obscence and what is allowable. The way that these issues are dealt with will shape the very form in which the internet and other

the August of 2005, the F.C.C. adopted a very important policy statement regarding net neutrality. This policy statement protects several things that are essential to anyone who frequently uses the Internet. It gives consumers the freedom to access any content and to use any application within the law. In early December, 2017, the F.C.C. voted to repeal it. However, just over half of the US states have made attempts to pass legislation that reinforces net neutrality. Net Neutrality protects American “internet freedom”, ensuring that the people can make full use of the internet and prevents Internet Service Providers from having too much control.

In the above article and video, the concept of the FCC voting to cease net neutrality in the upcoming month is discussed. The Federal Communications Commission is the independent branch of the U.S. government, which helps regulate communications via radio, television, and internet. Currently, the FCC has laws and rules set in place governing the existence of a “net neutrality”. New neutrality, also called the Open Internet” is essentially what allows all United States citizens to view and post whatever they please online, without it being blocked or limited by a third party or network provider. However, on December 14th the FCC will be voting on whether or not to “rollback” net neutrality, with chairman Ajit Pai at the helm of the limited internet

The internet is an immense part of everyone’s lives, whether it’s used for work, school, or entertainment and it’s at risk. The federal communications commission (FCC) is planning to end net neutrality, which is a big deal. Net neutrality or open internet is the principle of having free, equal access to the internet, without having to pay or have internet service providers blocking and slowing down websites. For many years, people have been fighting to keep the internet free, and big companies and the FCC have been fighting back. Fighting to keep net neutrality has never been more important than now because the vote to end net neutrality is on December. 14. Fighting to keep net neutrality is important because it allows free access to information, free speech and thought, and it helps businesses.

But what exactly is Net neutrality? Net neutrality means cable companies such as Time Warner Cable and Verizon cannot charge more for faster internet speeds. Which means everybody who uses the internet will have the same speed. Hence the word neutrality. Verizon communication sued the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) saying that they do not have jurisdiction over that subject and limiting speeds is a violation of the First Amendment. "The FCC says Net neutrality rules are designed to preserve the internet as an open platform enabling consumer Choice, freedom of expression, and end-user control, competition, and the freedom to innovate without permission." This case went to the US court of appeals for the DC circuit. The courts ruled in favor of a Verizon. The reasoning for the decision is that “FCC has no authority to apply common-carrier obligation like non-discrimination and no-blocking rules to broadband providers.” I agree with this decision. The reason is that the internet should not be like electricity. If you plug your phone into the wall to charge. It's going to have the same amount of current as someone else charging their phone. But what happens if I want to charge my phone faster? I can’t because electricity is neutral. But when I go on the internet and I see it is slow. What happens if I want to make it faster? With Net neutrality I could not make it faster. I want the option to make my internet faster. And what happens to large corporations where internet speed is essential to stay in business? The fact of the matter is that the FCC does not have jurisdiction over this matter. Net neutrality should never be passed. It will only hurt the consumer. In addition, the FCC approved of a $9.25 monthly charge to help low-income families connect to the internet. Three out of the five Commissioners voted for the subsidy plan. This approval is one part of the reform of the fund

Net Neutrality is the principle that Internet Service provider’s should treat all content on the internet equally. Most people in the United States of America want to keep net neutrality. However, the Federal Communications Commission’s chairman, Ajit Pai, wants to stop net neutrality, so many people are protesting to keep net neutrality. Net neutrality promotes innovation and allows freedom, but is seen as unnecessary by the Federal Communications Commission.

"Net Neutrality The internet is becoming increasingly more and more prevalent in the everyday lives of U.S. citizens. Citizens who should have access to what they want to see, at speeds that should not be compromised because a company does not favor a certain website. Therefore, the United States government has a large duty to monitor internet content so the public can equally access the internet no matter the topic or issue. Net neutrality needs to be enforced by the government.

As President Obama stated in a letter dated November 10, 2014, “We cannot allow Internet service providers (ISPs) to restrict the best access or to pick winners and losers in the online marketplace for services and ideas” (para. 2). “…neither the cable company nor the phone company will be able to act as a gatekeeper, restricting what you can do or see online” (para. 4). If the government did not impose rules to adhere to, internet service providers would take that opportunity to exploit the opportunity to gouge the users by restricting access to certain sites or information unless they paid the top tier which would be at a premium price. People and many businesses cannot afford high price internet service and only the one percenters would afford the luxury of all access

Net neutrality is a principle that has defended American citizens from internet service providers such as AT&T and Verizon from corrupting individuals internet access. For instance, the principle prevents the speeding up, slowing down or the blockage of any content in applications or websites and charging customers extra fees for high-speed internet. However, that principle is currently being discussed by the F.C.C. whether to repeal Net Neutrality or continue with the principle. The F.C.C. chairman, Ajit Pai proposed the idea and while big internet services such as the ones mentioned agree with the removal of net neutrality since it will give them more leverage over the income they will receive. Yet, others such as Google, Facebook and Amazon

"Net neutrality is an issue that's been on the agenda in the U.S. for years but it actually affects people all over the world. The net neutrality is a set of rules that prohibits companies, organizations, corporations, from playing favorites or regulating the sites that how much traffic and fast traffic can flow to. Every site on internet is equal and no one can restrict access or slow down access to any particular site or service and puts everything on the internet on an equal playing field that everyone has access to the same internet speed, every site has access to the same users, we really can't restrict access to anything and when we say that they repeal net neutrality, it is essentially means that they are making it right for companies to say like well on the service that i'm going to block your access to this site or i am going to slow down the speed at which you can access a particular site or a particular service and you could

Tim Berners-Lee said “Freedom of connection with any application to any party is the fundamental social basis of the internet. And now, is the basis of the society built on the internet.” Net Neutrality is the idea that Internet service providers shouldn’t block or deny access to certain websites or content but should allow access to all content by everyone. The major controversy with net neutrality is that FCC is putting regulations on internet service providers. The FCC is proposing to protect net neutrality by enforcing new rules on internet service providers under Title II of the communications act. The FCC would be given the power to prevent these providers from banning any legal service or website. To outlaw fees for faster service, to ban the impairing or degrading of internet traffic. Those who support net neutrality are major tech companies including Google, Facebook, Netflix, Mozilla, Etsy and Reddit. They argue that without strong regulation, cable companies could “pick the winners” online, providing better service for their own

Net Neutrality is a basic principle within the internet that basically keeps everything equal by not allowing governments or internet service providers (ISP) to charge us extra or treat sources, providers, content, or platforms differently. Net neutrality has been an issue in the United States that has been widely debated since the 1990’s (when the world wide web was created). Many large scale ISP’s within the United States claim to be for the idea of net neutrality however some people believe this not to be the case. Without net neutrality principles in place, ISP’s could control everything we do which could be used to block certain things making the ISPs able to charge us more for these services. The ability to make more money by charging

The concept of network neutrality (more commonly referred to as net neutrality) has been a fixture of debates over United States telecommunications policy throughout the first decade of the twenty-first century. Based upon the principle that internet access should not be altered or restricted by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) one chooses to use, it has come to represent the hopes of those who believe that the internet still has the potential to radically transform the way in which we interact with both people and information, in the face of the commercial interests of ISPs, who argue that in order to sustain a competitive marketplace for internet provision, they must be allowed to differentiate their services. Whilst this debate has

Throughout the last decade, the idea of Net Neutrality has been the topic of many debates. Net Neutrality is the idea that Internet service providers should not be allowed to block their users from any content regardless of its source. The Debate is still continuing in 2017 with the F.C.C planning to repeal Net Neutrality and allow internet providers to completely regulate what their users can see and charge the users extra for “luxuries” such as social media, messaging, email, and music. There are two sides of this argument, one side believes that Net Neutrality should be taken away, while others believe that it is unfair for the Internet providers to have the right to take away the access to any content. Internet providers should not be allowed to control what content one can view when surfing the internet.

Regulation of the Internet is a volatile topic. One reason comes from the very nature of the Internet.  While not entirely different from
