The FCC Wants to Terminate Net Neutrality - Use Battle for the Net on Cloudflare Apps to Fight Back

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is scheduled to vote on December 14th to terminate its net neutrality rules. Net neutrality is the principle that networks should not discriminate against content that passes through them, protecting internet users and companies from abusive behavior by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Without these rules in place, ISPs may be able to legally create a "pay-to-play" system, charging websites for faster service. Cloudflare has an app on its platform called Battle for the Net that allows site owners to host a popup encouraging users to contact their congresspeople to fight back against this potential repeal. The company is also hosting a Save the Internet! Net Neutrality Call-A-Thon in San Francisco, where participants can learn more about net neutrality and call their local representatives to voice their support for it.
