Summary

On July 12th, an "Internet-Wide Day of Action to save Net Neutrality" is being organized by Battle for the Net. Participating websites will display alerts on their homepages to raise awareness about the FCC's proposal to eliminate net neutrality protections and request public comments on whether any rules are needed to prevent ISPs from blocking or throttling web traffic, or creating "fast lanes" for some internet traffic. Cloudflare users can participate by installing the Battle For The Net App, which will display an alert modal for their site's visitors on July 12th.
